Testimonies of Healing

My first treatment in Christian Science was for indigestion. The healing was instantaneous and has proved permanent.

More than sixteen years ago, while living on the Pacific Coast, I was to mortal sense in a hopeless condition. The malady was cancer of the womb, dropsy, which caused me to be swollen to twice my normal size, an asthmatic condition, and a heart trouble so severe that I had to be propped up with five pillows in order to get my breath.

I am so very grateful for the many demonstrations and proofs of God's protecting care which I have experienced in the years I have known Christian Science that I feel I must give my testimony. My first healing took place in February, 1909, after the attending physician said I had one chance in a thousand to recover from an impending operation for acute appendicitis.

Christian Science was introduced to me at a time of great need. I had been suffering for three years from injuries caused at the birth of our little boy.

With the desire to express some measure of the sincere gratitude I feel for Christian Science and its blessings, I wish to testify to some of the beneficial experiences which have come to me. The protection afforded by the study of Christian Science has made the need for physical healing very infrequent, but whenever that need has occurred, it has been met quickly and completely.

With deep gratitude I wish to acknowledge what Christian Science has done for me. Over twenty-five years ago I began the study of this Science on account of a physical condition which had been diagnosed by doctors as heart, stomach, and kidney trouble.

In our literature we read of many who come to Christian Science seeking healing. I came into Christian Science, as the result of a healing, about ten years ago.

With gratitude and rejoicing, I give this testimony of healing accomplished through reading the textbook of Christian Science, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy. Science and Health was lent to me by a friend when I was seeking a higher understanding of God and Church.

With a grateful heart I should like to testify to the healing of our small daughter through Christian Science treatment, a healing which took place about four years ago. This healing revealed to me for the first time the real meaning of divine Love and God's ever-present help, and thus I gained the spiritual understanding of God and His idea, spiritual man.

With a deep sense of gratitude I desire to express my joy and thanks for what Christian Science has done and is doing for my family and me. Over two years ago we were told by physicians that they could do nothing further for a small daughter, who had been under the care of doctors and specialists for five and a half years for an aggravated form of asthma, and that the case was hopeless.
