Testimonies of Healing

Several years ago I was under medical treatment, and after several doctors had informed my family and me that my earthly career was drawing to an end, a friend of mine advised me to try Christian Science. He rendered me some very valuable assistance; but not knowing anything about Christian Science I hesitated to give up my belief in medical aid and delayed following his recommendation until I had arrived at about the same conclusion as that of the medical specialist.

Christian Science was introduced into our home over fifteen years ago and was studied for a number of years, although I was too young to appreciate it at that time. I had my first real opportunity to prove the infallibility of this great truth when I entered high school.

It is a duty and a privilege to acknowledge all the good that has come to me for many years through Christian Science. It has brought relief from physical suffering, danger, limitations, and unhappiness.

I wish to give my testimony as to the benefits received by me through connection with the Christian Science movement. Some time ago I endured great suffering through high blood presure, and was also told by doctors that I had an injury to the heart, for which I was informed nothing could be done.

I wish to give this testimony in order to show my deep gratitude for what Christian Science has done for me. From childhood I was under the mortal law of sickness, for many years being unable to do my work, as I was subject to severe attacks of asthma.

I desire to express my gratitude to God for the blessings I have received in Christian Science. My first healing, which was of influenza, took place in 1918.

When I first heard of Christian Science, about twenty years ago, I attended some of the Wednesday evening meetings, read the textbook with avidity, and even experienced a case of personal healing. I had suffered some time from severe neuritis and was completely cured by a single treatment from a practitioner.

Christian Science came into my life some ten years ago. Since then it has been a very precious companion, guide, and protector.

There came a time in my life when through domestic inharmony, financial trouble, and overstrain from work my health was impaired to the extent that what was termed the "screeching stage" of nervous prostration followed. At this time an old edition of "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy was in my home, having been lent to my husband by one of his friends.

Since I became interested in Christian Science about six years ago, I have had many proofs of God's healing power through the application of this demonstrable truth, and I gratefully bear witness to the many blessing it has brought into my life. During a time of great anxiety, which continued over a period of many months, I developed an acute colon disorder, which later became chronic.
