Testimonies of Healing
I have been a student of Christian Science for about five years. Previous to the summer of 1931, I had not read a word of Christian Science or talked about it to anyone.
It is with a sense of the deepest gratitude for Christian Science that I give this testimony. My knowledge of the healing power of this Science came when a member of my household was completely and beautifully healed of a grave illness experienced during childbirth.
One of the first healings which I experienced in Christian Science was of extreme nervousness, which I had seemed to manifest since a young girl. The medical law stated that a change of climate would be of some benefit to me, but although this was tried, I was never healed.
I am increasingly grateful for Christian Science and for what it has done for me and is doing for all mankind. I have had many wonderful proofs of its efficacy and healing power when properly applied.
I HOPE this testimony may encourage all those who are struggling with physical or other difficulties, who are seeking the truth,and would be freed from their sufferings. In James we read, "The prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him.
I can never be thankful enough for all that Christian Science has done for our family of five. A few years ago some very heavy machinery came together on our boy's ankle, smashing it badly.
More than twenty-seven years ago, after weary weeks in a hospital following an operation, I was carried home in a much worse condition than before the operation. The first time I was out I ruptured my side, and for months suffered night and day.
With sincere gratitude to God and to Mrs. Eddy for Christian Science, and with the hope of helping another, this testimony is lovingly given.
Christian Science has brought so many blessings and healings into my life that it would take innumerable pages to record them all. I shall therefore confine my remarks to my first healing.
Words seem inadequate to express my gratitude for the many healings that have come to me through the study of Christian Science. Our start in this Science came through the healing of my wife of chorea or St.
