Mildred Knerr with contributions from J. E. Robinson

Christian Science has been the means of bringing into my experience so much joy, harmony, and peace, and has so enlarged and brightened my mental outlook, that I have reason to be very grateful for its many blessings. I grew up under the materia medica thought,—my father being a physician, and I was considered not very strong. I was seldom free from a sense of debility and languor, very susceptible to taking colds, which would usually develop into severe coughs, and having a nervous, unhappy temperament, I never enjoyed thoroughly good health.

Since accepting Christian Science and depending on it as the remedy for all ills, my health has greatly improved, and I have found the true happiness, which the world can neither give nor take away. Many fears have taken flight, and doubt has been dispelled through an understanding of God's unchanging goodness and ever-presence as revealed in Christian Science. Gradually the colds became less frequent and severe, and they have not troubled me for a long time. Unhappiness, discontent, irritability, anxiety have given place to joy, harmony, and spiritual understanding. Now I seldom feel tired; I can take long walks and enjoy outdoor exercise without fatigue. Above all, I have found a satisfying, joy-giving religion which is a practical help in every way, and gives a "priceless sense of the dear Father's loving-kindness" (Science and Health, p. 366). I have been able to prove that Christian Science relieves physical suffering and overcomes fear; and through its beautiful teachings I have gained a deeper love for the Bible. In the light of Christian Science its promises are found to bear a new and vital import so that they become of immediate and practical value.

I wish to express heartfelt gratitude to our beloved Leader; it is through her selflessness, purity, and untiring devotion that the sunlight of Truth and Love has come to bless humanity.—Mildred Knerr, Philadelphia, Pa.
