Testimonies of Healing

I feel that the time has come when I should publicly express my gratitude to God and to our beloved Leader, Mary Baker Eddy, for Christian Science. I have been a student of this Science for five years, and in this short time it has brought about a marvelous change in my life.

I wish gratefully to acknowledge one of the many blessings I have received through Christian Science. Some time ago a felon came on one of my fingers as a result of a severe bruise.

Through the receptivity of thought to good I have had many healings in Christian Science, of rheumatism, of ulcers of the stomach, and of a great lack of loving-kindness.
