Testimonies of Healing

With deep gratitude I wish to testify to the fact that I have received many blessings through Christian Science. After I had been under medical treatment for over a year because of lung and kidney trouble, I heard of Christian Science through some dear friends, and turned to a practitioner, who gave me treatment.

It is with a heart full of gratitude that I wish to relate a part of my experience in Christian Science, hoping that others who may be halting between two opinions will be encouraged to press on, for the right way will surely open. Christian Science came to my notice in the first years of this century.

I have received so many blessings through the study and application of Christian Science that it is with a very grateful heart I give this testimony, in the hope that my experience may help others to find this panacea for all ills, even those pronounced hopeless and incurable. Many years ago I became afflicted with what a reputable physician called varicose veins, and was forced to wear full-length elastic stockings on both limbs.

Words seem very inadequate to express my gratitude for what Christian Science has brought into my life. When I was four years old a supposedly inherited disease, which the physicians called psoriasis, appeared all over my body.

The storehouse of my life is filled to overflowing with blessings received from the study and application of Christian Science. I have been sustained by the knowledge of God's omnipotent love through childbirth and also through the sorrow caused by the passing on of a dear one.

I send this testimony in sincerest gratitude for the great joy that has come into my life through Christian Science, which came to me over nine years ago, when I was in great need of healing. Eighteen months before this I had begun medical treatment for tuberculosis of the lungs.

I became interested in Christian Science because of its beautiful and Christlike teaching, and through reading the literature which was brought to me by my sister, who after the doctors could do no more for her was healed of nervous prostration. I soon discovered that it was the same religion which Jesus taught and practiced.

When Christian Science was first presented to me I was a worker in an orthodox church, but many were the problems which my religion and my understanding of the Bible seemed to present. For two or three years after hearing of Christian Science I refused to study it.

The testimonies of healing in the Christian Science periodicals have always been a source of comfort and inspiration to me. What one has proved of God's allness and goodness, all can prove.

For about two years I had been under the care of physicians and oculists who were honestly trying to discover the cause of my suffering. Especially were we all anxious about the headaches which remained with me most of my waking hours and had been a pronounced factor in my life since I was a small girl.
