Testimonies of Healing

It is with deepest gratitude that I wish to add my testimony to the healing power of Christian Science. My experience has proved that it heals moral as well as physical ills.

It is with joy and deepest gratitude that I glorify God for the great accomplishments of Christian Science. I am most grateful that this great truth has come into my experience, because it has taught me how to think correctly about God, about my neighbor, and about myself.

With deep gratitude for Christian Science and for all the blessings which have come to me through this teaching I give the following testimony. From earliest childhood I was always ailing and was more or less of an invalid all my life.

With joy and gratitude for the many blessings that have come to me through my understanding of Christian Science and its application, I send this testimony. Twenty years ago, while passing through the tortures of what medical science called an incurable disease and facing a serious operation, I was asked to try Christian Science.

Through the study of Christian Science, which gives us a clear understanding of God, man, and the universe, I have been renewed in many ways. It is the truth which makes free.

SEVERAL years ago, through the influence and kindness of a friend who had been healed of a complication of physical ailments of long standing through the application of Christian Science, I was led to seek this help after I, too, had suffered for about seven and a half years from a complication of physical diseases. During these years of physical torture I had had the services, alternately, of three reputable physicians—considered to be the best medical skill in a southern city in which I resided; in addition to which medical treatment I had as an aid many of the numerous patent medicines, electrical treatment, exercises of various kinds, and a sojourn at a famed health resort.

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE has been my only help for over seventeen years. We have had many proofs of its healing power.

FOR twenty years I attended the Christian Science church, always turning to its teachings for help whenever anything serious presented itself, but I was a dormant student and church member. Finally there came a time when physical trouble —violent sick headaches, constipation, and painful internal hemorrhoids—did not yield readily to treatment.

IT has long been my desire to express gratitude for many blessings received since taking up the study of Christian Science. Before knowing of this Science, I was never well.

ABOUT ten years ago a member of my family was very ill, and after two years, when doctors of medicine were of no avail and we did not know where to turn, this person sought the help of a Christian Science practitioner and soon thereafter was in normal health. This was very wonderful to me, and while it made a lasting impression, I did not at the time ask any questions as to how the healing was accomplished.
