Testimonies of Healing

It was during the winter of 1922 that I first became interested in Christian Science. My wife and I, with our three half-grown children, were then living in a large midwestern city.

Christian Science was presented to me by a loving friend when I sent for her to come and explain it to me. I was in great despair, suffering from rheumatism for which several doctors said they could do no more.

In November, 1932, I suffered severely with the fifth attack of stone in the kidney. I had been having these attacks about every two weeks, each one being more severe than the last one.

With the thought of trying to help others I should like to relate an experience which I had with our youngest daughter during the first month after our turning to Christian Science about six years ago. She was then two and a half years of age, and was very good about playing and amusing herself.

In April, 1922, I was in the position where all material streams were dry. Through the constant desire to understand life aright, I was continually praying in the words of the Psalm, "O send out thy light and thy truth: let them lead me.

There is no limit to the blessings and benefits that have come to me, and that will continue to come to me, through the study of Christian Science. Likewise there is no limit to my gratitude to God, to Jesus the Christ, and to Mary Baker Eddy for these blessings.

It is with a grateful heart that I give my testimony, hoping it may turn someone to God, our great Physician, who "healeth all thy diseases. " I had many healings and proofs of God's care before taking up the study of Christian Science.

With deep gratitude for Christian Science and for the many blessings received through it I gladly give the following testimony. At one time I developed a bad cough, and although we worked in Christian Science as well as we could, the cough did not yield.

My gratitude to God for the many healings I have received through Christian Science is unbounded. Many years before the truth about God and man was revealed to me, my home and my relationship with my husband were discordant, and naturally our business suffered from this misfortune.

When I first heard of Christian Science I was seriously ill with what had been diagnosed as tubercular peritonitis. Different treatments had been or were being tried, but little hope for recovery was given me by the attending physicians and I grew steadily worse and was thoroughly discouraged.
