Testimonies of Healing
It is with a heart full of joy and gratitude that I submit this testimony. When I first heard of Christian Science I had been deaf for four years.
Over seven years ago I was healed of Bright's disease through Christian Science. I had been under the care of a physician who did not give me much encouragement, remarking, "Your condition is such that you need not expect very much help.
I feel I owe a great debt of gratitude for the teachings of Christian Science. I have had many wonderful healings, some instantaneous and some gradual.
Christian Science was accepted in my family at a time of great need. My mother was completely healed of a severe nervous breakdown after all medical resources had failed, and she is now more active, stronger, and happier than ever before.
It is indeed a joy to express gratitude for Christian Science. I shall always feel deeply indebted to our beloved Leader, Mary Baker Eddy.
I always loved goodness and purity and joined an orthodox church at the age of thirteen; but as my observation increased and my thinking grew analytical I more or less discarded belief in religion as I had found it, and came to believe that ethics was the only reasonable ideal. At that time, fifteen years ago, our eldest son, then a baby of ten months, was given up by the doctors.
It is with a deep sense of gratitude that I give my testimony. When I first heard of Christian Science, twenty-one years ago, I was sorely in need of healing.
About five years ago a filling came out of a back tooth and the tooth was most painful. At the time I was doing work that made it difficult for me to get to the dentist without asking for special time off, so an appointment was made for two weeks later.
I have known of Christian Science since my mother received a physical healing over twenty years ago and became a healthy, active woman through the operation of this truth which makes free. I was not with her at the time, but I commenced to attend the Christian Science services in preference to those of other denominations.
When I found Christian Science I had been through long years of illness. Even as a child I suffered from an intestinal disease for which I had continuous medical treatment.
