Testimonies of Healing

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.

Christian Science is the greatest blessing that ever came to me. When I first became interested in this religion of Love, I had reached the conclusion that materia medica could do nothing for me.

For five years I experienced very poor health. I was frequently bedridden and suffered from intermittent spasms of acute pain.

When I first came to Christian Science I was practically a hopeless, helpless sufferer. I had not been able to walk for fifteen years and a half, nor had I been able to use my eyes during that time.

When my son was four years old, he hurt his knee while playing. The injury seemed at first to be a mere bruise, but in a week or two the knee became stiff and swollen.

For seventeen years I was afflicted with a spinal condition which caused attacks of lameness that were very painful, lasting several days, confining me to bed, and leaving me very weak. I had employed three of the best medical specialists in Chicago, but they offered me nothing in the way of help.
