Testimony of Healing February 4, 1905 Issue

With gratitude to God I acknowledge my lifelong debt...

With gratitude to God I acknowledge my lifelong debt to Christian Science. In 1895 I attended my first Christian Science meeting, and was deeply impressed with the earnestness of the people and the love reflected, but as for the spiritual healing of the physical body, I did not believe such a thing to be possible. I bought "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," and studied it with the sole purpose of being able to dispute intelligently with the supposedly deluded followers of Christian Science. I pursued the study carefully and thoroughly, and I have had abundant reason since to be glad that I did, for through this study, and the resultant understanding of my relation to God. I was healed of a disease with which I had been afflicted since childhood and for which there was no known remedy. Surely my experience has been the fulfilling in part of the Scripture: "He sent his word and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions." I believe that Science and Health reveals the word referred to by David.

I am thankful that I have learned of divine Principle, and that, in His goodness and mercy to us, He has made it possible, through our beloved Leader and Teacher. Mrs. Eddy, for the world to know that its Redeemer liveth.
