I have great cause for thankfulness for the many blessings that have come to me through Christian Science. It was in May, 1902, that I went in great trouble to see a lady who was a Christian Scientist. My husband was a terrible drunkard and was daily growing worse, ruining our home and his health through this evil. This lady talked to me about God, and showed me how to help my husband by holding in my thought God's perfect image and likeness. At the same time, she promised to take the case and give treatment. With deep thankfulness to God, I can say that after two or three treatments an improvement began and he was quickly healed. From that time to this he has not lost a day's work through any fault of his own, and instead of blows and cruel words, I am constantly receiving such kindness from him that I could not formerly have believed possible.

My little boy was healed of whooping-cough, to the astonishment of my neighbors, who knew I used no material remedies. Last winter, when I had a very hard week's work to do, I had a poisoned finger. I began to treat it myself at once, and although it looked very swollen and inflamed, there was not the slightest pain and I was able to do my own work and the washing for two families with ease. Each day proves to me more and more that God is All to those who rely on Him and claim the blessings He is ready to bestow. My changed home, so happy and peaceful, is a standing proof of God's goodness. Instead of dreading the coming winter, I know that all will be well and that God can never forget His children.

I value my copy of Science and Health more than I can say, and also the helpful articles in the Sentinel and Journal lent me by the friend who first showed me the way to understand God's unchanging love.
