During the eight years I have been in Christian Science, we have had many seeming trials. One in particular I recall wherein I suffered mentally, and could not then see that any good could possibly come from the experience; but I can now see it, and can trace to it our escape from the most glaring error that we had to contend with. This demon has never returned, for it was uncovered and destroyed through Christian Science. What then seemed an unbearable trial, now seems the greatest blessing. We have had many proofs of God's care, for when error has appeared we have always been able to overcome it, and when the battle is won what a difference from our old thought! When error in the form of sickness appears it no longer wears me out to care for the sick. Instead of being in low spirits, I am happy over the victory that has been won, for I know that God has been with us. I realize the great gain that has been made in my life, from inharmony to a life of peace and love. All our needs are abundantly supplied, not because our income is greater, but because we have found out in Science how to live, and our pleasures are in our home.

We have had many beautiful cases of healing. A few weeks ago our little boy was healed of a pronounced case of pneumonia by Christian Science treatment, and one week from the day he was taken sick, he was at school again. Before coming into Christian Science I suffered a great deal from a very weak back, but this trouble has entirely left me. I also suffered from indigestion, and my life was a burden to me from nervousness, but all these ailments disappeared through the reading of Science and Health before I knew how treatment is given. Here in St. Louis we subscribed to the building fund of our new church what seemed to me a considerable sum, but when the time came that we felt it should be paid, we did so without an effort,—the money came in a natural way, as my husband's receipts were unusually large, proving that "God is our source of supply." We can indeed say, "In him we live, and move, and have our being," for all we are and all we have we owe to God. I am striving and praying each day to become more worthy of the many blessings I have received. I wish to express my thanks to our dear Leader, who has shown us the way, and also to our teacher, who has worked so hard and continuously to keep us in the straight and narrow path that leads to harmony.
