GROWTH
HEALED

the patient continued to lose,
and hypodermics were administered

in this hopeless condition
Christian Science was
recommended, and my brother at
once said he was willing to give
it a trial."

|
MANY
AILMENTS
HEALED
"I caught the inside of one
finger in the catch of an
umbrella, and the sense of pain

suggestion."

the mental attributes of this

pulling it to pieces that I might
undeceive her."

-
|
NERVOUSNESS
AND INSOMNIA
HEALED
"Although having no knowledge of
Christian Science (in fact I

imagining the marvelous peace it
was to bring me."

A

God and Christian Science are, as
well as I knew how."
|

"THE
POWER OF
GOD"

witnesses of the power of
God."

POWER
OF TRUTH OVER
ERROR

alcohol engine on his sixteenth
birthday and while testing the
power of it, it exploded,

fire."

PROTECTION
DEMONSTRATED
". . . I was awakened by the
presence of someone in my room. I
arose on my elbow and turned on
the light, which revealed the
figure of a man; but before I had
time to do more than see that it
was no one I knew, he seized the
fixture and took out the light
bulb."
|
-
|
PROTECTION
DEMONSTRATED
"A liner crossing the Atlantic
ran into a fog one evening. One
of the passengers, a student of
Christian Science, ill at ease
over what was a familiar enough
experience, retired early to his
cabin to study those parts of the
Bible, and of 'Science and Health
with Key to the Scriptures' by
Mary Baker Eddy, which elucidate
the question of
'mist.'"

PROTECTION
FROM
HYPNOTISM
"In one of the recitation rooms
of a large public school were
gathered five or six pupils with
their teacher for a few moments'
recreation, when it was proposed
by a boy whom this teacher had
several times magnetized
[hypnotized], that she
try what she could do with those
present."
|
-
|
QUICK
HEALING
"Finally, as a last resort, she
consented to try Christian
Science, and a practitioner was
called. The call was made over
the telephone at three o'clock in
the afternoon, and an appointment
was made for the next day. When I
got home, the evening after the
practitioner was called, I found
my wife feeling better than she
had for months . . ."
|
-
|
QUICK
HEALING OF A
COLD
"Instead of commenting upon the
cold in any way, this wise
advocate revealed to my thought
something of the magnitude and
wonder of the great mission of
Christian Science
the
redemption of the
world."
|
-
|
QUICK
RESTORATION TO
HEALTH
"Nearly two years ago a serious
accident befell my son. By a slip
of his motor-bicycle he was
thrown in front of a two-wheeled
cart, which went over his back;
the horse also kicked him in the
mouth, cutting his face severely.
His tongue was terribly bitten
between his teeth, and the loss
of blood was
excessive."
|
-
|
REJOICING
IN
FREEDOM
"I also received a spiritual
uplift which to me far transcends
my physical healing, and today I
am rejoicing in the freedom that
belongs to God's
child."
|
-
|
A
REMARKABLE
RECOVERY
". . . How great was my surprise
when for the first time in my
life I heard the tick of my watch
with that ear, with which I was
never supposed to hear again. The
eardrum is gone, the hole left by
taking out the ear bone is still
there, but God does not need
these material conditions to make
His child perfect."
|
-
|
RESISTANCE
OVERCOME
"With much gratitude I have
turned again and again to the
promise in Ezekiel: 'I will
overturn, overturn, overturn, it:
and it shall be no more, until he
come whose right it is; and I
will give it him.' This promise
has indeed been fulfilled in our
home."
|
-
|
RESPIRATORY
DISEASE
HEALED
"Since Christian Science has been
revealed to me I am striving
daily to have that Mind in me
'which was also in Christ Jesus'
and our revered Leader, and I am
most humbly grateful."
|
-
|
RESTORED
TO
HEALTH
"Christian Science has taught me
to know that it is the darkened
thought that produces fear and
discordant conditions, and that
just in proportion as the light
of this glorious truth dawns on
one's consciousness can fear be
overcome."
|
-
|
RESTORED
TO PERFECT
HEALTH
"I am a veteran of the Civil War,
and while in the service
sustained injuries which
culminated in a severe
rupture."
|
-
|
RHEUMATISM
AND FEVER
HEALED
"Some time ago I awakened one
Saturday morning to find myself
bound hand and foot with
rheumatism, accompanied by high
fever."
|
-
|
RHEUMATOID
ARTHRITIS
HEALED
"Fifteen years of disappointed
hopes in doctors and material
means had so weakened our faith
in man's help that when the real
meaning of Christian Science was
explained, we instantly and
joyfully recognized it as the
only logical explanation of God
and the Bible, of man and the
universe."
