Testimonies of Healing

Christian Science has brought me so many benefits that I see the time has come for me to add my testimony to those of others. Over fifteen years ago I was led to visit the only Christian Scientist in our town.

I am sending this testimony with a heart full of love and gratitude for our beloved Leader, Mary Baker Eddy, and for her faithful followers who are carrying on her work with such pure and unselfish lives. After medical care, electricity, baths, osteopathy, and rest cure had failed to help me, a dear one asked me to try Christian Science.

I have long wished to express my gratitude for Mrs. Eddy's discovery of Christian Science, and for her consecration to the discovery, proving its truth by demonstration.

It is with a deep feeling of gratitude that I verify my wife's testimony of our boy's healing, and testify to the healing power of Christian Science, through an enlightened understanding of the Bible, as given in Science and Health. I have been healed of hernia which had held me in bondage for many years; for this and the healing of other discordant conditions which have succumbed to the application of Christian Science treatment, I am most grateful.

In the year 1925 our little boy was born under most harmonious conditions, but it was discovered that the baby's legs were twisted, the feet turned, and the ankle bones at the top of the feet instead of in their normal position. Christian Science treatment was given and the right leg was healed almost immediately, but not the left leg.

I am most grateful for Christian Science. For more than twenty years I have been healed many times through the knowledge and application of the fact that "with God all things are possible.

I turned to Christian Science for physical healing, but with no thought or desire for it as a religion. During my first visit to a practitioner she explained to me that God is Love and can bestow only good upon His children.

The study and application of Christian Science have given me a new and more satisfying outlook on life. In place of wondering why certain problems have to be mine, as I used to do, I can now see that these problems come in some way to all and furnish opportunities to progress in spiritual understanding.

I should like to have words to express my gratitude for the wonderful change that has taken place in my life since I became a student of Christian Science, but, like all Christian Scientists, I find that words are quite inadequate. I will, however, begin by enumerating some of the healings that I have had since taking up the study.

I wish to tell of some of the benefits which have come to me through the study of Christian Science. I have been healed of indigestion of many years' standing, quinsy, gastritis, biliousness, neuralgia, constipation, insomnia, and worry simply by reading our textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures.
