Testimonies of Healing

Truly my whole human life, since first Christian Science came into my experience during high school days, has been one continuous testimony of the fact that in proportion as this great Principle is understood, it can bring instantaneous healing to any human condition. This Science has brought instantaneous help when failure in school seemed unavoidable.

When Christian Science was offered to me it was for the healing of spiritual unrest. All that I had been taught had fallen away as no longer acceptable.

For twelve years Christian Science has met my every need, for which I am indeed very grateful. I have been healed of acute bilious attacks, of influenza, and of the results of a severe fall on the back of the head during the time I was reading in church.

Sometime during the summer of 1911 I suffered what the doctors called an attack of nervous prostration. It was the fourth such attack, and my doctor finally decided that there was a possible chance of my remaining here on earth for six months more, providing that I abstain from all work.

With heartfelt gratitude I wish to give the following testimony. I have been a student of Christian Science for years and have received many blessings.

When I first heard of Christian Science and had attended a testimony meeting, I felt it was a practical religion and just what I needed. With the study of this Science came a gradual change in my thinking, from a material to a spiritual basis.

How often I have wanted to write my testimony of gratitude for the many benefits I have received in Christian Science! I attended a Christian Science Sunday School from the time I was eight years old and have been a member of The Mother Church and a branch church for many years. There has been abundant evidence of the power of Truth in my experience.

One evening, when our only child was two years old, she was suddenly stricken very ill, becoming delirious almost immediately. Although we had had several healings in Christian Science, we had not the slightest understanding of it.

For fourteen years I was bothered by a nerve trouble, so that only occasionally was I able to carry on my business. Physicians' treatment, medicine, cures, and rest sojourns gave rise to considerable expense.

My wife and I became interested in Christian Science about nine years ago, hoping that through it she might be healed of a skin disease known as psoriasis, from which she had suffered since girlhood. Year by year the discordant condition was becoming more pronounced, and it had been declared incurable by the many medical practitioners by whom my wife had been treated.
