I have often had it said to me, "Why are there not more English testimonies?" Much work is being done with little mention of it, and it seems that now is the time for me, in loving gratitude, to tell others a little of the good that has come to me through Christian Science.

Some years ago, when first I heard of it, I seemed to be in the depths of sorrow and loneliness, walking in the shadow of death, without hope, and almost without God. Shutting myself in behind a wall of rebellious pride, trying to endure until death should bring the rest I so earnestly desired; full of fear and pain, after years of what seemed useless prayer.

To-day, through the teachings of "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," I have learned to pray. I know that God is ever-present Love, omnipotent good; that He is no respecter of persons, but gives to all His children alike, ever more ready to give than we to ask,—a God of justice. All His ideas are in their right places, all are sustained, upheld by infinite Love, and if our thoughts "in confidence and quietness are stayed on Him," then, indeed, do the former things (of material sense) pass away, and we realize the promise that "God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain," for He is "Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end."
