Testimonies of Healing

About twenty-two years ago I had reached "man's extremity," and it proved my opportunity to find God. I had suffered all my life with nervous sick headaches, and had a very badly diseased throat.

For more than ten years I was considered to have incurable spinal trouble. I received the best treatment available for my condition at a number of well-known hospitals, but grew worse instead of better, and was finally fixed in a steel spinal case for the remainder of my life.

In loving appreciation of the ability to realize, even in a small degree, the truth as taught in Christian Science, I am very happy to submit to earnest seekers for physical and spiritual help the following testimony, In 1910 my mother, who had recently become interested in Christian Science through a healing, lovingly presented me with a Bible and the Christian Science textbook. "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy.

I should like to tell of the many blessings which have come to me through the study of the Bible and our textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy, and the help of faithful, loving practitioners. Truly, this book is the key to the understanding of eternal life which the Bible contains.

Christian Science was brought into our home many years ago by my elder sister. I was a mere schoolgirl, but the statement that disease was mental made a deep impression on me at that time, and I have never since doubted that Christian Science is the absolute truth.

It is with a deep sense of gratitude that I add my testimony to those which appear regularly in our Christian Science periodicals, and which are a source of great joy and refreshment to me. Christian Science was brought to my notice by a dear aunt.

I am writing this testimony to express my gratitude for the many healings I have had in my years of study of Christian Science. My grandfather was a minister of a Protestant church, and, of course, we children attended the Sunday school.

In September, 1918, when I was discouraged, sick, and unhappy, Christian Science was presented to me. It was then that the textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy, became a close companion.

It is with gratitude that I testify to the healing power of Truth. For nine years Christian Science has been my only physician; it has met and is meeting my every need.

My gratitude for physical and mental freedom gained through the study and application of Christian Science is unlimited. This religion held forth to the members of my family the loving invitation to "accept the 'glorious liberty of the children of God,' and be free!"
