Testimony of Healing April 15, 1905 Issue

It is four years since I turned to Christian Science

C. D. Wines

It is four years since I turned to Christian Science. Physical healing was what I sought and received, but I now know that had this come rapidly the "fowls of the air" might have snatched the good seed away. During these years truth has been my only medicine and almost all of that administered to my wife and baby. I have been healed of a perpetual case of hay fever which had not been cured by materia medica (though my physicians were loving, conscientious, and able practitioners); catarrh and constipation of twenty-five years' standing have also gone.

My path has not always seemed clear, but I have always known that Science and Health contained the truth, and therefore I have clung steadfastly to it. For a long time I wondered why I did not receive the spiritual uplift that comes to all who seek Truth, but the cloud lifted as I came to know what spirituality is, and recently I have had most glorious glimpses of what it means to live the spiritual life here and now. I am being healed — born again — all the time, both physically and mentally. Anxiety, envy, suspicion, sarcasm, jealousy, anger, stupidity, and poverty; these are diseases of which I am being healed, and their places are being filled with love for the one ever-present and omnipotent God and absolute trust in Him.
