Testimonies of Healing

I first heard of Christian Science when a child between six and seven years old, at which time my father was healed of a severe and so-called chronic stomach trouble. About a year later my grandmother, whom I had always known as an invalid, unable to walk or to eat any but a very light diet, was also healed.

I am grateful to have the opportunity to express my gratitude to God, the Giver of all good, for Christian Science. Over twenty years ago, in a time of great need, when all seemed dark and hopeless, I was led into Christian Science.

Christian Science was first brought to my notice in 1892. At that time I was very much dissatisfied with my understanding of the Scriptures, although reared by devout Christian parents who each morning called us together for prayer and Scripture reading and a hymn before we started our day's work.

For three years I had been suffering from rheumatism in one arm. Then the other arm became affected so badly that I could hardly raise the hand to my head.

For many years I had been seeking a reason for all the suffering of mankind and the mistakes made in spite of their good intentions. I had been among destitute and hopelessly sick people, which led me to witness the healing through Christian Science of a so-called incurable cripple, who was also penniless.

I wish to express my gratitude for Christian Science and for all it has done for me and my family. When I turned to it ten years ago I was suffering from tuberculosis, pleurisy, and an internal disorder that a physician had said could not be cured without an operation.

My first contact with Christian Science was when, as a small child, I witnessed the healing of a member of my family of invalidism through studying the textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy. Her progress was rapid until she reached the stage where it would be necessary to acknowledge Mrs.

We have had many lovely proofs of the healing power of Truth and Love; so I am writing of this one in order that others may benefit by it, as we have been helped by reading other testimonies. One day our little boy, then three years old, complained that his leg hurt him.

It is with the deepest gratitude to Mrs. Eddy and the loving practitioners that I confirm my mother's testimony.

I am very grateful for the privilege of testifying to the healing and saving power of Christian Science. When I walked into a Christian Science Reading Room in London, England, over seven years ago, it was at a time in my life when I had lost sight of God, and seemed to be without hope in the world.
