Testimonies of Healing
I feel that words are inadequate to express my gratitude for Christian Science and the wonderful truth it has revealed to the world. During a period of about twenty years my children and I have had so many demonstrations of its healings that space would not permit me to enumerate them all.
When I first took up the study of Christian Science the doctors had given me up as what appeared to be a hopeless case. A specialist said I was suffering from a disease of softening of the bone which could only be accounted for as osteomalacia.
I should like to express my gratitude for a wonderful healing I received some time ago. As I was lighting the gas generator, an explosion occurred.
I have been helped so many times by the testimonies in the periodicals and during the Wednesday evening meetings that I wish to express my gratitude by bearing witness to a healing in my family. Our three-year-old son complained of earache, and even though I tried to know the truth for him, a few days later the side of his head near the ear became very much swollen.
Over twenty-seven years ago I received my first Christian Science treatment, and was healed in a few hours of a severe nervous sick headache. This healing was a great revelation to me, as I had suffered many years from frequent attacks of this malady.
It is with great joy that I tell of the many blessings which have been experienced by members of my family and by me for more than twenty years through the study of Christian Science. My first healing was of appendicitis.
Profound gratitude prompts me to relate a healing I was privileged to experience. In February, 1929, I was taken ill with serious catarrh of the throat, and in a short time could be understood only with difficulty.
Seventeen years ago I took up the study of Christian Science, after twelve years of suffering from what physicians said was the effect of poisoning from vaccination. It had affected my spine and a complication of diseases had arisen, such as neuralgia, rheumatism, stomach trouble, enlargement of the liver, and almost total blindness and loss of bodily activity.
Christian Science came into my home when I was quite a small child. My mother was healed of a tumor when, according to medical advisers, nothing was left her but an operation.
When Christian Science was introduced to me, my baby had been given up by doctors, who said that if he lived he would be a hopeless invalid, suffering from the effects of whooping cough and pneumonia, as well as stomach disorders. My own health had become so weakened that I was scarcely able to do my work.
