Testimonies of Healing

For thirty years I have been a student of Christian Science. It has been a great help in rearing three daughters, who are now grown and are members of a branch church.

I should like to express my gratitude for the many blessings which have come to me through the study of Christian Science, especially for one received when I was a small child. I became ill with what the doctors called typhoid fever.

I should like to express sincere thanksgiving for the many blessings I have received through Christian Science, and for those which all its students are receiving daily. My first healing came from reading the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures.

I feel impelled to testify to the first healing I experienced in Christian Science, in the hope that this may prove helpful to others. About six years ago, and for a period of about two years prior to that, I had been a victim of the aspirin and whisky habits.

It is a great privilege to express my sincere gratitude for Christian Science as a healing, comforting, and satisfying religion. I was brought up in one of the orthodox churches, but when a very trying experience came into my life, I found no more satisfaction there; and after a time, I heard of Christian Science.

In March, 1913, I first learned of Christian Science, this wonderful healing truth that makes men free from all worries and fleshly ills. Since then I have had ample occasion to prove this healing power as we are taught it through the study of "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy.

From my childhood until I found Christian Science, I seemed to be searching for something that would really satisfy. I had a great desire to pray but no understanding of how to go about it.

During the year 1900 a friend of mine became interested in Christian Science through a lady from whom we were both taking sewing lessons. Through this Science my friend was healed of constipation, from which she had suffered most of her life.

At the time Christian Science came to me I was in such a condition that I could not walk far or stand long or even sit in comfort. I just did not know what more to do.

Before I took up the study of Christian Science it was my privilege to witness an almost instantaneous healing of a lady whom the doctors had said would be a semi-invalid for life. Feeling no need of a religion based, as I thought, on physical healing, I became very critical of its Founder and soon forgot about it altogether.
