Testimonies of Healing

For some time I have felt a desire to write of my gratitude to Christian Science for the many blessings I have received. About thirty years ago I heard a lecture given by a physician, who spoke against Christian Science and Mrs.

I feel it my duty to express my great gratitude to God, who, in His loving-kindness, has acquainted me with Christian Science, the blessed heritage left us by that great and noble woman, Mrs. Eddy.

It is with joy and gratitude that I give thanks to God for His goodness which has been revealed to me through the study and application of Christian Science. Over a period of twenty years the truths of Christian Science have sustained me through many trying human experiences.

I am most deeply grateful for all the joy and health and freedom which Christian Science has brought into my life. I have had many healings, but above all I am grateful for the wonderful sense of God's nearness and ever-presence which the study of Christian Science has brought to me.

Words can hardly express my gratitude for Christian Science. Only those who have passed through an experience akin to poverty know the joy of being freed in the right way from a terrible sense of bondage.

In Ezekiel we read: "And I will make with them a covenant of peace, and will cause the evil beasts to cease out of the land: and they shall dwell safely in the wilderness, and sleep in the woods. And I will make them and the places round about my hill a blessing; and I will cause the shower to come down in his season; there shall be showers of blessing.

Jacob's exclamation after a dream experience, "Surely the Lord is in this place," comes gratefully to my thought, replacing a false picture, when I pass a point on the highway at which I was involved in an automobile accident. Through a shower of breaking glass I was thrown some distance, striking the frozen ground with my head and shoulder, and was rendered unconscious.

It is with sincere gratitude for the many blessings that Christian Science has brought into my life that I give this testimony. I first heard of Christian Science in 1910, but it was not until 1915 that in my extremity I turned to God and was healed of a severe nervous breakdown.

"Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits: who for-giveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases. " How grateful I am for this passage of Scripture, for these promises have been realized in my experience! About eighteen years ago I was confined to my home and was part of the time in bed suffering from nervous exhaustion with all of the attending discomforts, such as stomach trouble, sick headaches, anaemia, indigestion, heart trouble, and a great sense of fear.

Twenty-six years ago I was healed by Christian Science of a very painful malady, but as I knew no English nor anyone familiar with Spanish to direct me in the study of Christian Science I scarcely realized how I was healed, nor did I look into it further. Seven years ago I again became interested in this Science on seeing the remarkable healings experienced by a relative through the work of a practitioner who knows Spanish.
