I wish to express my heartfelt gratitude for the many blessings received through Christian Science. I wish to give my mite with the hope that it may come to the eyes of some weary wanderer, who is as hungry and thirsty as I was. I believe if it had not been for Christian Science coming to my rescue, I would not be here to-day to testify to the healing power of Truth and Love.

From childhood I was never very healthy or strong, and when I grew up and married, my health grew worse, and I thought that I would not live long. All the medicines which we thought would do any good were tried, but without avail, until it came to the point where man's extremity was God's opportunity. Then I turned to God in earnest prayer, to show me a way out of all this sickly and unhappy condition, for I could not believe that God could punish me so, and yet be a loving Father.

I then went to a very dear friend who was one of the first Christian Scientists here, and told her of all my troubles. She said, "Don't you know that you are God's child; and that He is a loving Father?" She read a chapter out of the Bible to me, and there came to me such a calm and peace that I took courage. A few days after that, I asked her to loan me Science and Health, and with a great longing and a desire to know the truth, I studied the book, and to my surprise it became my physician. While reading it, all the various ailments disappeared. I found it to be true as the Bible says, that it is God who healeth all our diseases. I also found that Science and Health contained the truth which I had been seeking. And how beautiful it all is! I have found that God is ever ready to help us when we turn to Him alone. I am now a member of the church here, and it is three years since I first caught a glimpse of this truth.
