Testimonies of Healing

When I look back over the years during which I have known something of Christian Science and realize how different they have been from the ones which went before, I appreciate more and more what a debt of gratitude I owe for this glorious truth that has been shown to be available to all. Each problem, mental as well as physical, has been worked out, though not always in the way I might have wished.

With a sense of deep gratitude I wish to testify to the many blessings my family and I have received through the teachings of Christian Science. I learned of this healing truth a few years ago, and was soon convinced that I had found the one thing needful.

On returning to New York City in June, 1912, I met a friend whom I had known some years before in San Francisco. In the meantime, he had become interested in Christian Science and he began to tell me of the testimony meetings and of the wonderful accounts of healing which he had heard there.

It is about six years since I was led, in a most wonderful way, to hear of Christian Science as a remedy for physical ills. I had been treated by several doctors, and although all were most kind and attentive, I still remained weak and ill.

Words cannot express my gratitude for the priceless gift to the world of Christian Science; neither can words describe my sufferings until they were destroyed through absolute dependence on God. It was through the study of the Bible together with our textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy, that I learned how to depend on Him.

Since my childhood my father had expended much money for doctors and medicine in the hope that I might become strong and healthy. Eight years ago, while attending school in Boston, I was suffering from a slight curvature of the spine and was receiving treatments from an orthopedic specialist.

I desire to express my deeply felt gratitude for Christian Science. I had been seeking in vain, as it seemed, for health; I was struggling hard to maintain a livelihood and to pay my debts, feeling far away from God, and having almost lost hope that He would help me.

It gives me much joy to add my expression of gratitude to the many testimonies that for twenty years have brought me inspiration, courage, and confidence, in reminding me again and again of the glorious fact that Christian Science heals both physical and mental difficulties, bringing a full salvation. My son, until he was seven years old, had been much of the time under medical treatment.

I took up the study of Christian Science after a doctor had said that I had a nervous heart and that there was no permanent cure for it. At my request a sister mailed to me Mrs.

It was about nine years ago that I learned of Christian Science, and since then I have had many proofs of its healing and regenerating power. Before that I was always ill and the physicians had diagnosed the ailment as lung trouble.
