Testimonies of Healing

When a child of nine or ten years, I was healed through Christian Science very quickly of pneumonia. The doctors had said there was nothing more that they could do.

I was privileged to experience the deep significance of Jesus' beautiful words, "Ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free," when, through God's wonderful guidance, I was led to Christian Science. For fourteen years I suffered from a serious heart and nervous trouble, coupled with anxiety, tormenting insomnia, weakness, and indigestion.

Shortly after taking up the study of Christian Science, I contracted smallpox. Feeling that my understanding was insufficient to meet the case, I called on a practitioner for help, which was lovingly given.

Each successive day makes me more grateful to God that I know of the truths of Christian Science, to which I may cling throughout my entire life. Especially since maturity I realize more clearly than before what a wondrous blessing it has been to be free from the belief in the power of drugs to heal, and what a joy to be able to turn to our Father-mother God at all times for help.

I wish to express my gratitude for the many demonstrations of healing I have had through Christian Science. It was brought to our notice in 1913 by my brother, who was employed by a Christian Scientist.

I feel that it is a great privilege for me to be able to testify and give thanks to God for His loving-kindness, protection, guidance, and unchanging love. Through the understanding of His government as taught by Christ Jesus, and so clearly revealed to us in this age by our beloved Leader, Mary Baker Eddy, I have been brought safely through "the valley of the shadow of death" several times.

It is with a very grateful heart that I indorse all that my husband has said. Christian Science has made our lives more stable, settled, and serene with the wonderful knowledge that God is indeed ever present and all-powerful.

About four years ago I suffered a physical, mental, and nervous breakdown which I know would have cost me my senses, as well as my life, had it not been for the healing power of Christian Science. After this breakdown my state of health became so bad that after constant care from a specialist, a well-known neurologist and psychologist, who gave the best he knew, the result was entire loss of mind after an attempt at suicide.

Christian Science was presented to us at a time when my physical fitness seemed to be lost forever. Owing to malarial and other fevers, my heart had become so weakened and affected that my physician sent me to the coast as soon as I was able to be moved.

When Christian Science was first brought to my notice, about nine years ago, I was in the depths of despair, having no God, and therefore no hope. At that time I was living with my mother, who was always more or less of an invalid; and I had quite made up my mind, as I thought, to end my own life, as soon as my mother passed on.
