Testimonies of Healing

Gratefully acknowledging the many blessings which have come to me through the study and application of Christian Science I give this testimony. Nearly twenty one years ago I caught my first glimpse of what the understanding of divine Mind can do, for I was healed, in one absent treatment, of appendicitis, after surgeons had given me the verdict that an operation within twelve hours was absolutely imperative.

With sincere gratitude I desire to testify to the many blessings received by my family and myself through the application of Christian Science, which came to me when I was seventeen years old. At that time I had a bad case of varicose veins in a lower limb, which had troubled me since I was about nine years old.

I wish to express my gratitude for many proofs of the healing power of Truth in Christian Science. I have been a student of this Science since 1911, at which time I was healed of chronic liver trouble and fainting spells.

I should like to show my gratitude in this brief testimony for the great help obtained from the study and application of Christian Science. It has enabled me to distinguish the true from the false, and is daily helping me to cast out the latter.

I have much reason to be grateful for all the joy that Mrs. Eddy's inspired revelation of the truth has brought to me and to my household.

When the doctors could do no more, we tried the methods of semimetaphysical systems with no improvement, and at last my mother called in a Christian Science practitioner.

Eight years ago I became interested in Christian Science, and since then we have experienced many healings in our home. My son was healed of a tendency to take cold easily, usually resulting in pneumonia.

I give this testimony with a desire to express my sincere gratitude to God, and to share with others the abundance of good I have received from the study and application of the truth as taught in Christian Science. This beautiful teaching has been the means of my completely overcoming many discordant physical and moral conditions.

We read in the Scriptures, "And a little child shall lead them. " It is with a heart full of gratitude that I tender this testimony to the little child that led me to a Christian Science church, which might be called a temple of gratitude.

Through a better understanding of God, Christian Science has been revealing health, harmony, and true happiness to me in increasing measure for over twenty-three years. Our Leader writes in Science and Health (p.
