With a heart full of gratitude to God and to our beloved Leader, Rev. Mary B. G. Eddy, I send my testimony. It is over eight years since I first heard of this wonderful Science from a friend. She handed me Science and Health and I read it and said, "I will give it a trial." I was looking for the healing just then, but little did I know what was to be revealed to my consciousness.

I was then a physical wreck, discouraged and dissatisfied with myself. I had been a member of the church from my girlhood, and had tried to be a Christian. I had studied my Bible, but could not understand it satisfactorily, and when I would ask others,—ministers and Christian friends,—they would say that we must not be as wise as God; or that we should know more when we got to heaven. I have realized, however, since studying the Bible in connection with Science and Health, that I can truly say, it has revealed to me perfect harmony, both mentally and physically. I was healed of many troubles that women suffer from, and that without any medicine but the study of "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures." For this I am very thankful, and whenever I have anything to trouble me, I take my Bible and Science and Health and the Quarterly, and go over the Lesson-Sermon, and it always meets the trouble. What a grand help it is, and always at hand. It teaches me that God is ever-present to help us.
