Christian Science came to me about eight years ago

W. E. Long

Christian Science came to me about eight years ago. When in mental darkness, I was led by a dear and true Scientist to see God, as He has been revealed to human apprehension by our wisdom-guided Leader, Mrs. Eddy; He is Truth, Life, and Love. My physical healing has been slow, but sure and certain. I had throat trouble, catarrh of the head, and a weak and sicklyl body. I had tried medicine and will-power, but to no avail. Truth has now made me free, and I have a reason for the faith and understanding that is within me. I can testify that Christ, Truth, has indeed appeared to heal the flesh. In our family we have had many proofs of God's sustaining care, and I have learned to trust, as did Saint Paul, in the assurance, "My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness." With him I say, "Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities that the power of Christ may rest upon me."

About one year ago we had a case of diphtheria to meet with our youngest boy, a child six years old. The conditions were such that we thought it best to call in a medical practitioner and an assistant. They treated the child for some time and finally decided that they could do no more, and that he could not live. We then turned to Christian Science with what understanding we had, and the result was that God sustained us, for within twenty-four hours our child was up and playing,—brought from death unto life. I can truly say, "Glory to God in the highest," for this salvation is made so full when understood in Christian Science.

I cannot close without expressing our grateful thanks to those who are at the post of duty in publishing to a waiting and hungering world the good news that Divine goodness is indeed a present realization. May the good work go on, and may our daily lives be found blameless before our fellow-men.—W. E. Long, Port Hope, Ont.
