Testimonies of Healing
Christian Science found me nearly ten years ago at a time of great need. I was suffering physically from a bad breakdown, the result of work in a hospital during the war.
About five years ago I came into Christian Science through physical healing. Before that I was a member of a Jewish temple.
I have many reasons to be grateful for Christian Science. I took up the study over seven years ago; and from that day I have relied wholly on Christian Science, and it has met my every need.
When I was a very small child, my mother was healed of a so-called incurable disease which had caused her a great deal of suffering. Just previous to her healing, I had had typhoid fever, which left me in a very delicate condition.
I was reared in a Christian home and my joining the church at an early age was simply the thing to be expected. After joining, childlike, for some time I looked for some special change in thought and feeling; but as it did not come I gradually settled down and tried to fill my place in the church as I believed I should.
Christian Science is each day proving to be the "pearl of great price," and the fulfillment of the promise of Christ Jesus that he would send us a Comforter that would abide with us forever. I should like to express my gratitude for the many benefits I have received through Christian Science.
It is my great privilege to testify to the wealth of good that has been manifested to me through the study of Christian Science, revealed to this age by the unselfed love of our Leader, Mary Baker Eddy. I am truly thankful for the calm peace, joy, trust, health, and strength which I now enjoy.
When Christian Science was presented to me, I was fast becoming an invalid. I had been suffering for some years with stomach trouble, and had tried about every known remedy.
During my childhood and early girlhood days I did not know what it meant to be free from pain. Four years prior to becoming a student of Christian Science, I had submitted to five operations in less than a year; and through carelessness during one of these operations I was left with an injured organ, which resulted in a tubercular condition.
A few months before I began to study Christian Science, dismayed at the conclusions I had reached after years of human reasoning on material existence and practically without hope, I left Chicago, which was then my home, with no destination in view. I carried very little visible baggage, but I did carry a great invisible burden.
