Testimonies of Healing

I am very desirous of expressing my thankfulness, at least in a measure, for what Christian Science has done for me. When I have applied it with love and sincerity, I have had wonderful healings, some with the help of practitioners, and some by my own understanding of the truth.

When I look back on the twenty-odd years that Christian Science has sustained and protected me, I realize that I could never in one testimony begin to express the gratitude I feel for all the blessings received. We may not always escape unpleasant experiences, but our knowledge of Christian Science can protect us from unhappy results.

I wish to express my gratitude for all the help I have so far experienced in Christian Science. As an after effect of active service in the army, my nerves were supposed to be completely ruined.

I did not come into Christian Science for physical healing, but through seeking the truth, after studying and investigating different religions and teachings for several years. Since taking up the study of Christian Science I have been healed of tonsillitis, influenza, ivy poisoning, ptomaine poisoning, measles, and headaches.

My gratitude for Christian Science is unceasing, for without it I should not be here to-day. In 1901 I was a hopeless and helpless invalid.

I am very grateful for all the good that Christian Science has brought into my life. My nervous system was out of order, my heart always troubled me, and a nerve condition in my throat irritated me, causing an annoying permanent cough.

Although I was brought up in Christian Science and attended the Sunday school from a very early age, I was tempted to drift during my high school days, and it seemed as if my attention was drawn to other things. When an extremely difficult situation arose, however, I was forced to acknowledge that nothing but Christian Science could help me, and I turned to it whole-heartedly.

I am very glad to avail myself of the opportunity which our periodicals give of expressing my gratitude for the many benefits, mental, moral, and physical, which I have received since I began the study of Christian Science over nine years ago. For some years I had suffered from chronic anaemia, sleeplessness, almost constant headache, and various other ills, besides what seemed to me worse than all—wearing anxiety and worry.

About four years ago I left Philadelphia a total wreck mentally and physically. I was ordered by physicians to take a complete rest.

For the past sixteen years I have been so greatly blessed with the abundance of fruitage coming to me regularly through the testimonies in our beloved periodicals that I feel I must contribute one more tithe to the storehouse. For five years I had suffered from kidney disease.
