Testimonies of Healing
Several years ago our daughter, then a little girl, asked her mother, "Can we not go to Auntie's church?" Lovingly it was arranged and they went. A few weeks later an opportunity was again given, and I also went to hear a Sunday service in a Christian Science church.
For over forty years I have taken all my problems to Christian Science. It has healed me of sickness, trouble, and grief.
Several years ago a loving friend handed me a Christian Science Sentinel, and told me to read the testimonies. I did so and became interested, for I reasoned that if there was in the world today the truth that could make people well and happy, I wanted to know about it.
I am most grateful for Christian Science. Since coming into this wonderful religion of love I have been healed of bad head colds that usually began in early fall and lasted until spring, leaving me much depleted.
After all the healings and blessings which have come my way through Christian Science, some through my small understanding, others through a practitioner's help, I feel it my privilege to acknowledge some of them. After the passing on of a small daughter in 1912, kind neighbors advised me to send for the German translation of Science and Health.
It is with a deep and humble sense of grateful appreciation of the wonderful revelation of Truth given to us by our revered Leader, and her untiring struggle with the forces of evil, that I offer this testimony of the regenerating and healing power of Christian Science. Truly, I had reached "man's extremity" when I first learned of Christian Science.
In love and gratitude to God and to Mrs. Eddy, the interpreter of Jesus' beautiful teaching, I wish to tell of some of the benefits I have received from Christian Science.
It is not possible for me to find adequate words with which to express my gratitude for Christian Science. I took up the study after witnessing the healing of my mother of chronic heart and stomach trouble, from which she had suffered for many years.
I am filled with gratitude to God for the efficient healing power of Christian Science, also for the Lesson-Sermons in the Christian Science Quarterly, and for the periodicals, which today reach every part of the globe. Several years ago, when living in the United States of America, I experienced a wonderful healing.
At the time Christian Science found me, over seven years ago, I was as much in prison as if I had been incased within solid steel walls. Not only was I in a mental prison, but I had tuberculosis, a disease I had feared from childhood.
