Testimonies of Healing
" CALL upon me in the day of trouble: I will deliver thee. and thou shalt glorify me.
IT is some years since I first held our wonderful textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy, lent me by a dear relative. Within a month I had purchased my own Science and Health and had become an earnest student.
I HAVE received so much help from reading the testimonies in the Journal and Sentinel that I desire to express my gratitude to God and to our revered Leader, Mary Baker Eddy, for all Christian Science has done for me. Twenty years ago, when I took up the study of Christian Science, I was a physical wreck, suffering from bronchial asthma and stomach trouble.
I SHOULD no longer withhold my written word of gratitude for many healings in Christian Science, which has been my only physician for many years. Our little daughter, now seven years old, was a most trying child from babyhood.
ON page 402 of the Christian Science textbook Mrs. Eddy says, "Christian Science is always the most skilful surgeon, but surgery is the branch of its healing which will be last acknowledged.
HAVING received so much benefit from the many testimonies given in our Christian Science periodicals, as well as those given at the Wednesday meetings, during the last fifteen or sixteen years, I realize it is time to express my gratitude. I do not know how we should get along without Christian Science.
FOR a number of years after taking up the study of Christian Science I had trouble with my back. At times I could not walk without the support of a chair or the aid of members of my family.
CHRISTIAN SCIENCE came to me when I was in need of healing both physically and mentally. I was suffering from a complete nervous breakdown, and was so weak that even moving about exhausted me; bodily functions also were not normal.
AS long ago as I can remember I tried to find some connection between what I believed to be religion and the teaching and healing work of Christ Jesus. I could perceive none, and finally came to the conclusion that his meaning was misunderstood.
As an expression of gratitude for many proofs of the healing power of Christian Science, I am sending this testimony. One of my first healings in Christian Science was that of defective eyesight.
