John Wesley's Testimony

Nina Goodwin Henderson

It is probable that many Christian people who have opposed the Christian Science teaching that physical healing should be effected without the use of drugs, are unfamiliar with the fact that the founder of Methodism fully believed in spiritual healing, and at times relied wholly upon God for health and strength, and this not for himself alone but for his beasts as well.—[Ed.]

We are sure that the following extracts from Southey's "Life of Wesley," will be of interest to all Scientists, as well as to those Methodists who may not be familiar with the life of their revered leader.

Says Southey, "He related cures wrought by his faith and his prayers, which he considered and represented as positively miraculous. By thinking strongly on a text of Scripture, which promised that these signs should follow those that believe, and by calling on Christ to increase his faith and confirm the word of His grace, he shook off instantaneously, he says, a fever which has hung upon him for some days, and was in a moment freed from all pain and restored to his former strength.
