I should like to add my voice of praise to the thousands of others for what Christian Science means to me. I was taught this truth when I was a child, and for that I am truly grateful.

When I was a year and a half old, I ate a spoonful of concentrated lye. We lived on a ranch three and a half miles from a Christian Science practitioner, and had no telephone. A great deal of time was necessary to get horses from the pasture and drive to town. My mother knew little of Science and was frightened. By the time we reached the practitioner my eyes were swollen shut and my lips swollen and blistered. But in a very short time both my frightened mother and I were fast asleep. This was in the afternoon, and we both slept through the rest of that day and night. When we awoke I was entirely normal and asked for my breakfast, which I ate with perfect ease and joy.

I have had many beautiful healings and proofs of God's care since that time, and now have a little girl of eight, whom I would not know how to train without this knowledge of our relationship to God. I am deeply grateful that she is learning to apply the truth she is taught, to give credit where credit is due, and, best of all, to be grateful to the source of all good.
