Testimony of Healing July 22, 1905 Issue

I esteem it a pleasure as well as duty to give my testimony

Julia Peck

I esteem it a pleasure as well as duty to give my testimony. I had been sick all my life, had tired many kinds of material remedies and had many doctors. I was led, over a year ago, to try Christian Science treatment, by the kind words and happy life of a good friend. I write with pleasure my thankfulness for what Christian Science has done for me. I am most thankful to my heavenly Father, and to Mrs. Eddy, through whom this blessed health, peace, and happiness has come to me. When I think of the many ills I suffered from, I feel like praising God all the time. I had been more or less troubled with sore eyes from a little girl, and at times had to stay in a dark room and blindfolded. I had worn glasses for years, and even then could not see to read at all by lamplight and very little by daylight. I can now read any kind of print and do not wear glasses at all. I suffered terribly with rheumatism for years, and at times it was so bad in my neck and shoulder that I could not rise without help. I also had a disease of the hip which caused me much distress at times, and I had sore mouth and throat for years, besides a constant cough. I had also suffered from a child with constipation. I had been subject to the grip, the attacks lasting from three weeks to three months. I had a weakness which was born with me, which the doctors had said would sooner or later require an operation, and that even then I could not be strong and well. My kidneys troubled me so that at times I was deathly sick, but thanks be to God I am now well and happy, and can do as much work as any one I know of. I have not taken one drop of any kind of material remedies in the meantime.

I now could not live without Science and Health. I have already bought two copies,—one for myself and one for a sister. Through my healing she and her husband have become very much interested in Science and they love the literature. A dear old lady reads the papers and prizes them very highly. I now mean, through this blessed truth which has been brought to me, to spread the gospel of "on earth peace, good will toward men," God helping me.

I am very glad that through Christian Science I have been made to know that my strength comes from God, the giver of all good and perfect gifts. I am grateful for this truth which makes us free from sin, disease, and death.
