I want to give my testimony to the Field, it may help some one who needs the understanding of God as I did. Over three years ago I was a very sick girl, mentally and physically, when one day a friend asked me to try Christian Science. I laughingly remarked that I did not believe in it. After I reached home I began to think about it. I knew that medicines could do no more for me, as some prominent physicians had told me to take walks, be in the sun, and then, when I could walk no more, I must die. I realized that I had exhausted every material remedy. I went to a Christian Science friend and asked for the name of a practitioner, but with no hope of getting help. I went, and in a few weeks I was healed,—made a well woman. The physical healing seemed then the most wonderful, and for it I am very grateful, knowing it could not have been accomplished in any other way, but I am indeed grateful for the spiritual uplifting which followed.

Is it any wonder that we love our dear Leader, Mrs. Eddy, who has revealed to us through Science and Health what God is. I am grateful to the dear ones who so lovingly helped me to see the right way to Life eternal, when I was weary and heavy laden. I am striving to be worthy to be called a Christian Scientist.
