Testimony of Healing September 18, 1920 Issue

Since we began the study of Christian Science there...

Emily A. Langthorne

Since we began the study of Christian Science there have been many healings in our family of seven persons. Varicose veins, rheumatism, constipation, eczema, enlarged tonsils, headache, and a sense of lack have been overcome. The daughter who had eczema on her head used to have her hair cut frequently on account of it. Since the healing, her hair has grown beautifully long and thick.

I am especially grateful for a healing of bronchial catarrh which I had had for a few weeks, sometimes feeling very ill, at others nearly well. One Sunday I felt I could not bear it any longer, so after service I asked for help and began to speak of my symptoms as we used to do to a doctor. Putting my hand on the place where the pain seemed to be, I said, "It is right here." The practitioner very lovingly said, "My dear, we don't treat a sick body but the sick thought." She then pointed out some passages in "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy, and asked me to study them. As I was walking home with a friend, who told me of a discordant condition which was worrying her, I told her to be very loving and try not to be resentful, when suddently I had to stand still, for it seemed as if a heavy cloak had been taken off me. I was healed. How grateful and uplifted I felt.

During the Lesson-Sermon a few weeks ago I suddenly felt very ill. I thought I must go out; then I looked around and saw every one so interested in the Lesson and thought, "How I will disturb every one if I do." I just realized the omnipresence of God and I was instantly healed. We have had many other healings, for all of which I am deeply grateful.
