Testimony of Healing March 14, 1908 Issue

With the hope that it may help some other earth-weary...

Daniel F. McLaren with contributions from Emily Jane White

With the hope that it may help some other earth-weary traveler, seeking for health and rest as I was, I give my testimony. Three years ago I had serious lung trouble, could neither eat nor sleep, and coughed almost continually. I was under the care of one of the best physicians in Port Huron, and was taking three different kinds of medicine, but to no avail. I kept on growing tinner and weaker, and could see nothing but death staring me in the face, for it seemed as if my time would soon come. Then I was advised to try Christian Science, of which I had known before. I had seen the proof of its healing power many times while living in Chicago, so I made up my mind to have treatment, as it was the last resort.

I at once took a train to London, Canada, a distance of over sixty miles. When I arrived at the Scientist's home I started to tell her my troubles; but she quickly set about preparing dinner for me, although I protested, saying I had eaten practically no food for over three weeks. The Scientist smilingly said that was a reason why I should do so now. To my surprise I ate the heartiest meal which I had had in years, and after the treatment the clouds seemed to vanish at once. The second day I went out in the country, and at the end of the week I went to work, healed and happy. My cough had disappeared and a new strength had been given me.

To-day I am as healthy a man as can be found; even the appetite for strong drink, to which I was addicted, has all left me. I have no more desire for liquor than if I had never cared for it. For all that my physical healing was wonderful, the spiritual uplifting is more so, and I am beginning to know what it means to be made in "the image and likeness of God," and that, as for me, I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with His likeness. The Bible has become to me a new book through the study of "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mrs. Eddy, and these two books are my daily companions. I thank God, who through this wonderful book has given to us this revelation of His love.
