"Bless the Lord, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name. Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits: who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases; who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies." I wish to add my testimony of healing and gratitude to the words of the psalmist, for God's infinite love and goodness have also done much for me, through Christian Science. Several years ago I suffered from a severe case of heart trouble and typhoid fever. All medical remedies were in vain. Acquaintances called our attention to Christian Science and we requested assistance, which was lovingly given. Even after the first treatment I felt that the thoughts of fear had left me, and the more I understood of the teachings of Christian Science the more rapidly I improved, and consequently after a short time was able to resume my work again. Daily, yes hourly, we have proofs of God's loving care when we trust in Him. Glory and honor be to God for all His love and blessings. It is impossible to relate here all the proofs we have received of God's love, and are still receiving daily.

I also wish to mention an instance which thoroughly convinced us of the power of Truth. About three years ago our dear mother suffered from a severe case of typhoid fever. We requested a practitioner's help, and absent treatment was given. After a short time the healing came. We all know that those who abide, in full confidence, in God's protecting power cannot suffer want in any way. The greatest value of this beautiful teaching lies not in the healing of visible and material conditions, but in the knowledge that God does not abide in unattainable remoteness, but is ever present and good is attainable by all. For this knowledge we owe divine Love endless thanks, also deep gratitude to our beloved Leader, who taught us to know God as Life, Truth, and Love.
