In praise and gratitude for the great gift of Christian Science, as perceived and given to the world by that grand and noble woman, Mary Baker Eddy, I wish to add my testimony.

My first acquaintance with this religion came through the healing of my little daughter, twenty-three years ago, from what the physicians termed appendicitis, extending over a period of two years. A neighbor, learning that the physicians offered no hope, mentioned Christian Science to me, and lovingly urged that it could do no harm to try it. I had never heard of Christian Science before, but decided to give it a trial. Two present treatments were given, followed by a week of absent help, with the result that the child was restored to health and I was lifted out of a long mental strain. No information was given concerning Christian Science, and no mention of any literature was made by the practitioner; and as objections were made by a dear one to any further investigation, I did not learn the method of healing. But I knew that it was what I wanted, and that I had touched the hem of Christ's garment.

Ten years later, when I moved to a large western city, my present home, I was overjoyed to learn of a Christian Science church. On attending the first service I knew that I had found what my heart so long had sought, and eagerly I drank deep spiritual drafts from this source.
