Testimonies of Healing

Just to encourage someone who, like me, may have gone through many experiences of sorrow and trouble, both mental and physical, I will tell how I was led to let my burdens go, and finally found peace and harmony through Christian Science. As one of seven children, I always manifested extreme timidity: I was backward in school, and slow in other matters.

In the year 1921, after suffering for five years from a war wound in the head, I turned to Christian Science through the advice of a friend. I went to see a practitioner, and before leaving the office requested a treatment.

The sixteen years and a half since my entrance into Christian Science have been the most fruitful and satisfactory ones of my life. I am able to express only in part the depth of my gratitude for this angel-visitant, the Comforter which Jesus promised; and for our dearly loved Leader, Mrs.

With this testimony I wish to express my gratitude so that others may learn that Christian Science really does heal, and that it heals permanently. For twenty years I suffered from a serious abdominal complaint, heart disease, stomach trouble, bowel and bladder complaint, and, as the doctors called it, general nervous prostration.

Through the study of Christian Science, and with the faithful help of a practitioner, the windows of heaven have indeed been opened unto me. I have had many healings, both physical and in a business way.

We read in the Scriptures, "What shall I render unto the Lord for all his benefits toward me?" While I never can pay the debt of love and gratitude I owe to God, I can at least express a little of my gratitude for all the benefits I have received since coming into Christian Science. When our boy was eleven years old, one of Boston's best physicians diagnosed his case as diabetes and put him on a strict diet.

It is with great joy and gratitude that I give this testimony of a recent healing. After the birth of my second son I was overcome with a sense of great mental darkness and fear.

Soon after her beautiful healing in Christian Science, knowing how much I needed help for my baby boy, a dear aunt recommended it to me. She told me of a Christian Scientist in the town where she was living, and said she felt sure this lady would be glad to help us.

It is nine years since I heard of Christian Science; and it was to please a friend, who had been healed of consumption, that I promised to look into it. I had no faith that Christian Science could heal me, as I was suffering from sugar diabetes in a very bad form and the doctors had given me only three months to live.

A friend who had been healed of a long, distressing illness brought me some copies of the Christian Science Sentinel, the reading of which led me to ask for help. During about thirty years, physical discord of some sort had seemingly held me in bondage most of the time.
