Testimonies of Healing

It is with great joy and gratitude to God and Christian Science that I give this testimony. In 1914, through the recommendation of a friend, I purchased the Christian Science textbook, and while reading it I was healed of neuralgic headaches, constipation, and stomach trouble.

How very gratifying to read sometimes in our Journal and Sentinel testimonies from graduate medical nurses, who, through Christian Science, have learned what constitutes true healing! I know how helpless and dissatisfied I often felt in caring for the physical body only, and how I longed to make my patients more hopeful and happier. Because I know I have found the "pearl of great price," and because I have derived wonderful blessings from Christian Science, I am adding my testimony to those of the multitudes who have found freedom through its teachings.

In the year 1897 I was healed through Christian Science of a fibroid tumor from which I had suffered from childhood. Doctors could do me no good, and an operation was impossible.

For many blessings received through Christian Science I should like to express my gratitude in the following testimony. After having an operation on my nose, I was taken ill with pneumonia and pleurisy.

There are so many things for which I am grateful to Christian Science that I hardly know where to begin when publicly giving thanks. Although I have been a Christian Scientist all my life, and never a day has passed in which there has not been something for which to give thanks to God, two different occasions stand out especially.

I should like to take this means of expressing my gratitude for all that Christian Science has done for me and mine. Several years ago I suffered from rheumatism, which was extremely painful and necessitated my being absent from my work.

" My heart is singing: I have found the way. " These words in one of the hymns from our beautiful revised Hymnal, express my thought, for I have indeed found the way of true happiness and peace.

From time to time I have asked myself, What have I demonstrated in Christian Science? I feel the time has now come to enumerate some of the many benefits that have come to me and mine through the study and application of this Science, and to express in some slight measure my ever increasing gratitude. When Christian Science first found me I was in a hospital, being prepared by the nurses for a major operation.

I wish to express my gratitude for Christian Science, in which I first became interested in 1911. I was living near a man and his wife who were Christian Scientists.

With deepest gratitude for all the blessings received through the daily study and application of Christian Science, I am prompted to offer my testimony in the hope that it will help lift my fellow men out of deep waters. Christian Science is teaching humanity how to work out its salvation from material bondage to all ills of the flesh, into glorious liberty as children of God.
