I have long desired to express my gratitude for what Christian Science has done for me and my family by reading "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker G. Eddy. I was healed of profanity, the tobacco habit, and a bad temper, through the understanding that man is the image and likeness of God. I was also healed of kidney disease, rheumatism, dyspepsia of long standing, and weak eyes. What surprised me most, however, was this. I had had one finger thrown out of place some fifteen years before. It was crooked, but it became straight and useful. A bone in my foot had also been broken, leaving a bunch, which disappeared after I studied Christian Science and received class instruction. I am an entirely well man and for this I am very grateful. I am also glad that I have learned enough of Truth and Love to be able to heal others. I wish to express my thankful appreciation of our dear Leader, also of the Sentinel and Journal.—Newton R. Fuller, Salina, Kan.

I would like to join my voice with the others in praising God for His goodness, for His wonderful, love "to the children of men." I have been a little over two years in Christian Science, and the peace of these years has been past all understanding. I can remember nothing but fear and dread most of my life, that grew instead of lessening as the years passed on,—grew until sickness and great heartache followed and death seemed fast treading upon their heels, when I was led to Christian Science. I knew it was the truth that I was looking for, and I never have doubted since the loving Scientist told again, "the old, old story of Jesus and his love." Before a week passed the joy and hope in my heart were unspeakable, the sickness driven out, and the fears so shown in their true colors, that I gladly buckled on the armor of God, ready to war with them. Some have been routed forever, others try at times to be heard, but I know who was with me and I am not afraid. Most of my immediate family have come into Science, and I am trying to show my gratitude to God and to our Leader by my obedience to Him. He alone knows the darkness and suffering which her faithfulness, devotion, and self-sacrifice have brought me out of and there is deep joy in my heart, knowing that her reward is with Him.
