It is now four and a half years since learned what a wonderful change Christian Science brings to all who become interested in it, and what a blessed release it brings to all sufferers, whether in mind or body.

My experience has been like that of others who have been freed from the bondage of sin and consequent sickness, but I have not yet voiced this through the Sentinel, and do so now. I have nothing remarkable to relate, but I know that speaking a world for Christ cannot come amiss.

Learning of the Christ-love, has so transformed me, that I no longer spend half my time on the lounge recovering from sick headache, from car sickness, which almost invariably followed a journey, no matter how short, enduring backache, also intense exhaustion, from which I was never free, struggling with morbidity which made each successive day a burden, and sensitiveness so that all men seemed against me, and I knew not which way to turn.

Having been through two operations, I decided to drop doctors and their medicines. I knew there must be a God, and that He must be good, and felt there must be some way out of such despair. So I started on my search for this new remedy, which I have found a beautiful religion.

By it I have been made whole, and all my former troubles have been proved illusions. Previous to this, several physicians had told me I need never expect to be strong; partial invalidism was the brightest prospect set before me. But all this was but a seeming, for I can now endure often more than those about me who claim to be stronger. Indeed. I find I can accomplish all things through Christ who is my strength and shield.

I am absolutely free from all troubles, so that joy is everpresent, and the wonderful peace that comes from a knowledge and understanding of the Christ-love is beyond expression.

It cleanses and purifies, it ennobles, it frees from hatred and envy and all uncharitableness, from sickness and suffering. It makes all things new, so that life is one glad song of praise to my Creator, whom to know is to love.

All tears are of the past, and sorrow and sighing are unknown.

My earnest thanks are extended first to Mrs. Eddy, our strong, unwavering Leader, through whom I have learned that life and not death is true, that health and not sickness is real; also to my teacher, whose clear reflection of the grace of God has helped me to the freedom I now enjoy. To these, and to all friends who have given me encouragement I feel deeply grateful.

Mrs. Harriette F. Drury, Portsmouth, N. H.
