I have been greatly benefited in many ways since I accepted this grand truth. I am grateful to our dear Leader, Mrs. Eddy, for revealing this truth to poor, sick humanity. I had been a member of an orthodox church for over twenty years. The last two years I was dissatisfied, I was hungering and thirsting for the truth. I first heard of Christian Science in 1898, when I read a lecture delivered by Mr. Kimball in St. Louis, Mo. It was so uplifting that my first thought was, Lord, "lead me in thy truth." We then moved to Chickasha, and God led me to live in a house where there was a Christian Scientist. I was sick,—had heart trouble, and other ailments, so that I was not able to do my housework or to walk any distance without stopping to rest. I tried several doctors, but they could do nothing for me. I kept getting worse, and then I took treatment from a practitioner for one week. It did me no good, as I still kept my medicine, thinking, that if she did me no good I would then take my medicine. When the week was up I seemed to suffer more than before, so I stopped treatment and went back to medicine. I kept getting worse, so I concluded there was nothing in medicine and I threw it away away and ready for treatment. After I took Christian Science treatment again, I kept improving, but still I would have spells. My healing was slow. I took treatment for about three years, and finally got one of Mrs. Eddy's students, who made the demonstration. Since then I can walk anywhere and do anything, and the trouble has never returned. I am thankful for the light I have received, and am still striving for more understanding, and for that Mind which was in Christ. The Bible is now very interesting to me. With the help of Science and Health I love to read it. It is the open door of all wisdom; it gives us joy and peace which passeth all understanding.

I accepted Christian Science four years ago, and had the privilege of receiving class instruction. I am free from sickness and fear, for God is my Life, strength, and source of supply. Before I accepted this truth there was more or less discord in my family, but now all is harmony, for in truth there is no discord.

Mrs. Tillie M. Code, Chickasha, I. T.
