About twenty-five years ago I was led to Christian Science for the healing of chronic neuralgia of the head and face. Owing to the severity of these attacks my face would be distorted while they lasted. Materia medica in many countries had failed to give me even temporary relief. Because of the overwhelming fear of the suffering, the healing of this condition through Christian Science extended over several years, but never once during the slow but sure emergence was I tempted to have recourse to materia medica. Had I not proved through long experience that drugs were powerless? One by one the attendant conditions left me until I knew that fear was eliminated and health restored.

Words fail me to relate all the healings that have come to me and mine during these years. I am especially thankful for the overcoming of an unpleasant disposition, and for the peace and harmony that now reign in my home. I have seen, among my circle of acquaintances, so-called incurable diseases destroyed and health reestablished, the effects of accidents overcome, and children's ailments relegated to their native nothingness.

Great as have been the physical, financial, and material blessings, however, nothing can compare with the continuous inward joy, peace, and unfailing happiness that come to us in proportion as we realize the ever presence of infinite, all-embracing Life, Truth, and Love—God, our Father-Mother.
