Testimony of Healing November 21, 1908 Issue

I wish to express my gratitude for all that Christian Science...

Lizzie M. Libby

I wish to express my gratitude for all that Christian Science has done for me. For seven years I suffered from a complication of diseases supposed to have been caused by a fall in the spring of 1889. I was under medical treatment all of the time, had several doctors, but none of them gave me permanent relief. The last year I grew gradually worse, until I lost all hope of ever being any better. I was unable to do even the lightest kind of work and could sit up only a very little of the time.

When all other hope had fled, I heard of Christian Science and at once called on a practitioner to learn what it was, as I had never heard of it before. I shall never forget that first day, and the beautiful things he told me about God. As I listened the clouds lifted, and the mental suffering which had at times seemed unendurable vanished, and has never returned. The physical healing was slow, but I knew I had found the way to health and holiness, and that some time I would come into the realization of perfect health. I took eleven treatments, studied Science and Health faithfully, and was completely healed. During a period of over eleven years Christian Science has been my only remedy for all ills.

While I am truly thankful to God for the physical healing, I am most grateful for the joy and peace that have come into my life through the better understanding of Him taught in "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mrs. Eddy, to whom also I am very grateful, for I know that only through her teachings am I here to-day to give this testimony. My prayer is that I may grow in grace and in the knowledge of God.—Lizzie M. Libby, Bangor, Me.
