Testimonies of Healing

I wish to express deep gratitude for the wonderful healings Christian Science has brought to me. I knew nothing of this religion when a Scientist asked me why I wore spectacles.

I should like to give thanks for the healing and regenerating power of Christian Science. About six years ago, a few weeks before my baby was born, I was to mortal sense dangerously ill.

Christian Science has brought me many mental healings, among which have been a better understanding of God and man; more peace, patience, charity, and tolerance; a greater freedom from material thought; the healing of grief; and the unfolding of a more practical application of the truths given in the Bible through the study of Science and Health. As a result of these mental healings, many physical ailments have been healed, among which have been rheumatism, neuritis, pneumonia, sickness from travel, fever, an injured finger upon which an automobile door had shut, loss of consciousness, eye trouble, and nervousness during what seemed to be a dangerous situation.

I give this testimony to express my sincere gratitude to God for the many blessings I have gained through Christian Science. I bought a copy of "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy, asked help of a practitioner, and was healed of an internal condition for which the physician had said an operation would be necessary.

During the training period for a crew race in which I was to take part, I was unable to sleep for four or five nights owing to a painful ulcerated tooth. I became so ill that it seemed necessary that I return to my home city, seventy-five miles distant.

Several years ago, when apparently well and strong, I suddenly became an invalid, suffering frequent fainting spells and extreme nervousness. After many kind physicians, in various cities, had tried medicines, rest cure, baths, diet, electricity, osteopathy, and finally an exploratory operation, the illness continued.

I wish to express my gratitude for Christian Science and for what it has done for me in the past eighteen years. I came into Science at the age of seventeen, after talking with a lady who had been healed of a broken hip without medical aid.

As an expression of gratitude for Christian Science and its many beneficent activities I send this testimony. I have always enjoyed what would be considered a peaceful home, but since Christian Science has been used in governing it, peace and harmony have been experienced, in spite of most severe trials.

The healing efficacy of Christian Science and the protection afforded its adherents are to me cause for much gratitude. In her Message to The Mother Church for 1902 ( p.

My greatest cause for gratitude is that my parents learned of Christian Science before I was born, thus giving me the privilege of attending the Christian Science Sunday School for the full number of years allowed. A few years ago I had a very wonderful experience.
