Testimonies of Healing

About sixteen years ago I turned to Christian Science, broken down mentally and physically. Like the woman in the Bible I had gone to many physicians and was nothing bettered.

Twenty-one years ago, when the future seemed dark indeed, I received a letter from a friend in Canada containing the valued message of Christian Science. In this letter the friend told of her sister's healing of consumption through the application of Christian Science alone, and asked me to try it.

I should like to take this means of expressing my gratitude to God for Christian Science. About three years and a half ago I was healed of severe bowel trouble and colitis.

I feel that it is time that I once more express my thankfulness for Christian Science, and for the many healings that continue to come into my experience. One of the most valued of these experiences is that of spending some days at the Sanatorium of The Christian Science Benevolent Association at Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts.

It has been over thirteen years since I took up the study of Christian Science because my husband thought it might help him. He seemed in a very serious condition, both bodily and mentally, and no longer cared to live.

I have enjoyed the privilege of membership in a branch church and more recently in The Mother Church, and have had many reasons to express my gratitude. Christian Science found me at the age of fourteen years imbued with the teachings of an orthodox religion which I rather blindly believed.

So many healings have come to me through Christian Science that it is with deep gratitude I send this testimony. The first proof of the efficacy of Christian Science came to our family when an elder sister was perfectly and permanently healed after being given up to die by the best physicians in a large city.

I should like to express my gratitude for the healing and blessings that have come to me through Christian Science. My first visit to a practitioner was one of faith and expectancy, for I had tried everything considered worth while.

In Proverbs we read, "How long wilt thou sleep, O sluggard? when wilt thou arise out of thy sleep?" When Christian Science was first mentioned to me by my wife I would not listen. But after a while I began to read some from the Bible and "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy.

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.
