I feel like a prodigal coming forward to acknowledge a father's blessing, so tardy have I been in expressing, through our periodicals, my gratitude for what Christian Science has done for me and my family; nevertheless, not a day, scarcely an hour, goes by, that my heart does not go out in gratitude to Truth, and to our dear Leader, through whom this healing revelation has come. Prior to being healed, there were conditions that confined me to my bed for days, unable to bear even the walking of any one across the floor, sick with headaches that were a terror to me by day and night, and with acute stomach trouble. All this has passed away under the treatments of Christian Science. Is not this a proof of God's omnipotent care? I can never forget the patient, loving, tender attitude of the one who did the work for me. It has been an example for me in all these years of work for others. She was never discouraged, and so happy, when I finally realized that I was healed. I can never be grateful enough to our Leader, who is pointing the way, day by day, out of this wilderness of belief in evil.
