Testimonies of Healing
Twenty years ago I was an invalid, under the special care of a physician. Although still a child, I had undergone three operations.
I wish to testify to the healing power of Truth and Love, as revealed in Christian Science. Owing to a supposed injury at birth, I was unable to walk for four years.
I should like to tell of an almost instantaneous healing of a burned eye. One holiday a party of us were going on a picnic.
It has been my privilege for quite a number of years to know something of Christian Science and to witness, during that time, many beautiful healings of so-called incurable diseases among my friends, as well as to experience many healings myself. I should like to relate my first introduction to Christian Science.
I wish to express my gratitude for what Christian Science has done for me. I did not investigate it for physical healing for myself, but became interested when one of my children responded quickly to its application.
Having received so much good from Christian Science, I give this testimony as an expression of my gratitude. In 1917, I met with an accident which resulted in the fracture of the bone of the upper right arm, as well as the socket at the shoulder joint.
I was born in Italy, but came to this country more than thirty years ago. About fifteen years later I became interested in Christian Science.
I first heard of Christian Science over two years ago through a dear friend who had received a wonderful healing. He invited me to attend a Wednesday evening testimony meeting.
With a deep sense of gratitude I give my testimony of a wonderful proof of God's care. In February, 1922, I was suffering with an inward cancer and chronic constipation.
In 1922 I suffered from a nervous breakdown and gradually settled into a state of mental depression from which my physician and others seemed unable to arouse me. This condition was brought on by the passing on of a very dear son, leaving me one son who had had a weak heart from childhood.
