Testimonies of Healing

When I was thirteen years old I was healed through Christian Science of a serious bone trouble after having an operation, wearing a plaster cast, and doing all that doctors could suggest. At that time I was told I could never walk far and never run with other children.

I desire to express my love and gratitude to God for Mary Baker Eddy, the Discoverer and Founder of Christian Science, whose teachings have interpreted Jesus' sayings to me, and healed me. I had been under medical treatment from two to three years.

Nearly fifteen years ago I was healed of a serious internal trouble through the operation of Christian Science. And I feel impelled to tell of this healing now in consequence of a recent experience, which tends to show that whilst people no longer question the healing power of Christian Science, some view with grave suspicion any statement that people are healed through simply reading and studying the textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy.

Since childhood I have enjoyed the benefits of Christian Science, and the answer to the question of how adequately to repay divine Love has become clearer through Mrs. Eddy's words in "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" ( p.

In 1917 I was, as I had been for several years, suffering from constant hemorrhage. One of the leading surgeons of Boston intimated that the cause was cancer, and told me that I must be operated upon without a moment's delay.

When discouragement has held sway in my thought and everything has seemed dark, I have been able to reverse the testimony of material sense with spiritual ideas by going back to my first healing in Christian Science, received a number of years ago. At that time I was troubled with neuritis, was very nervous, and for over a year had hardly known what it meant to be free from headache.

Gratitude and a sincere desire to help others prompt me to write this testimony. In twenty-seven years I have had a family of five children, the youngest seven years old now, and have never given any of them a dose of medicine.

I am so filled with gratitude for Christian Science that it is a privilege to acknowledge it to all. The prophet of old said, "And a little child shall lead them.

I feel so grateful for the many beautiful healings received through Christian Science that I feel it is my turn to write my testimony. It is nearly twelve years since I had my first healing, and during that time my life has been full of healings as a result of the application of Christian Science.

I know that my wife's testimony is true. I should also like to say that I have been helped and healed through Christian Science many times.
