Testimonies of Healing

I write again, as you wished, to inform you how I am getting on. I certainly feel better; can walk better, and am steadily improving.

When I left you, I quit the sinful habit for about a week. After that, I indulged worse than ever, until I suffered enough in mortal belief and thoughts to make me willing to leave all for Truth, Christ.

The Scriptures declare that God's ways are higher than man's; then His method of healing also must he higher, God's medicine is Mind. Spirits, drugs, material means are man made.

I was called upon, a short time ago, to demonstrate the Truth, in a case where the patient was delirious most of the time, with other aggravated symptoms. For several days I tried faithfully to realize and demonstrate the Truth of Being, but with no apparent success.

"Truth makes a new creation. " Christian healing rightly understood is "the transforming by the renewing of the mind " as Paul expresses it.

Less than a month ago, one Saturday morning, through the careless handling of another, some of the contents of a box of concentrated lye was spilled in my eye. Immediately, in thought, I went up "into the mountain to pray,"; and thus overcame the mortal mind images that came surging over me like a multitude; so that I continued with my household work until finished.

It was three years last May since I first heard of Christian Science. I was at that time a slave to tobacco, and had been subject to sick-headache from a youth, as well as to beliefs of pain from neuralgia.
