Testimonies of Healing

I am very grateful to acknowledge the healing efficacy of Christian Science as related in the above testimony. I can truthfully indorse all that my wife has said about the healing of what seemed to be a fatal illness.

Christian Science came to us in an hour of dire need, when a loved one was very ill with pernicious anæmia, which several physicians said would prove fatal. A Christian Science practitioner was consulted and work was lovingly taken up, with the result that in the course of several months a change for the better was very noticeable.

My heart is full of gratitude for what Christian Science has done for me during fifteen years' study of this wonderful truth. Four years ago I was healed of a birthmark as large as my whole hand spread out.

Christian Science came into my life when the doctors had given me a limited time to live; heart disease, intestinal trouble, and nervous prostration had made me a semi-invalid, and I had lost faith in medicine. While I did not realize it at the time, my healing began when I expressed a willingness to read "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy.

I am unspeakably grateful for the practical truths revealed through Christian Science. My family had relied completely on this Science for about ten years, and our only child had always attended the Sunday school; but while I considered Christian Science a wonderful religion, I felt it advantageous to have medical attention for this child and myself when an occasion presented itself.

Very joyfully and with a grateful heart I wish to testify to God's unspeakable love, made manifest to me through Christian Science. For seventeen years I suffered from a severe stomach trouble and pain by day and night.

For nearly thirty years I have experienced the blessings and benefits offered through the study, application, and demonstration of Christian Science. Many years ago I was healed of a so-called hereditary morphine habit, together with all the concomitant effects superinduced by long and continued use of the drug—insomnia, loss of appetite, and emaciation.

It is a wonderful privilege and a sacred duty to express my gratitude for all that Christian Science has done for me. The dawning of this glorious truth in my consciousness was the beginning of a new life for me.

One Sunday afternoon I was seized with an attack of influenza so severe that I was unable to do any effective work to overcome it. By evening I felt very ill indeed, and the next morning I was manifesting severe symptoms.

Christian Science came to me in an hour of dire need. Discouraged by the continued seemingly hopeless condition of our little boy (then about six years old), I was on my knees praying to be delivered from the darkness that seemed to surround me, asking God to take me out of it if there was no other way, but that if there was, please to show me that way, and suddenly I realized it was Christian Science that would lift me out of that darkness.
