Testimonies of Healing

I wish to express my gratitude for a healing I experienced. One afternoon, while skating, I tripped and fell on the ice.

A healing that has often awakened gratitude in me occurred a few months after my earnest study of Christian Science began. Having worked through the greater part of the summer, and thinking a rest from the office and noisy city was needed, I decided, upon the suggestion of the family, to visit a cotton plantaion located several miles outside a small town.

My first healing in Christian Science took place years ago. I was then suffering from intestinal catarrh in its most pernicious form.

After thirteen years of study in Christian Science, having had many healings through it, I feel that I must express some of my gratitude to God for His loving care, which, through Mrs. Eddy's life and works, has been made available for me and for all mankind.

As an expression of gratitude to God, to whom all honor is due, I wish to testify to the following healing which took place in my home, giving me a clear proof of the healing power of Christian Science. Our little son, aged six, came home from school and complained of being sick.

Christian Science came to me over sixteen years ago as a direct answer to prayer, after a period of four years' very earnest search to find the truth about God. While I had an unshaken faith in God, or in a supreme power of some kind, still for many years it had been impossible for me to accept the teachings of the so-called orthodox churches, and there were many questions I had pondered that were never satisfactorily answered.

Jesus said, "Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom. " I am very grateful that this kingdom of Life, Truth, and Love and the understanding of Christian Science came to me twenty-six years ago, when to mortal sense my days were numbered.

I accepted Christian Science largely for the spiritual growth and uplifting which followed. There were also, however, healings of severe headache, colds, and nervous trouble.

Great gratitude prompts me to submit this testimony. Many years ago, when I knew nothing of Christian Science, I was so very ill with kidney and heart trouble that I no longer hoped to be healed.

With a grateful heart I wish to verify the testimony given by my husband, and to express my gratitude for the many blessings and healings that have come to us through the study and application of Christian Science. My first healing was of a chronic throat trouble which developed into tonsil poisoning.
