How eager we should be to tell of the blessings that have come to us through the truth as revealed in Christian Science. I have been so greatly benefited that I could not enumerate the blessings, and scarcely know where to begin. The first benefit which I received came from reading Science and Health to a colored woman who was living with me as a cook. She had passed through a surgical operation which had left her bankrupt in more ways than one, and had been directed to Christian Science by me without my having any knowledge of it. I had only heard of it and suggested it to her. She left my house, lived with Christian Scientists, and upon her return asked me to read Science and Health to her. At that time I was in the very depths of despair, bordering on melancholia, and the gloom was dispelled while reading to her. I was filled with sunshine,—happiness,—and this overflow went out to my friends; every one would remark upon the change and all were glad to see it. All the world is seeking for peace and happiness, and if all would humbly and earnestly study the Bible and Science and Health, it would certainly bring that peace which Jesus promised.

There have been many ailments overcome in my family by the declaration of the truth,—the grip, eczema of long standing, severe catarrhal trouble of the kidneys, chilblains, and other ills. Through the aid of a practitioner I have been relieved of heart trouble, caused by indigestion, extreme nervousness, severe inflammation of the eyes, and I am indeed a different woman since learning that Life is God. I am deeply grateful to God, and to Mrs. Eddy for the revelation of this beautiful truth, and for what it has done for me.—Mrs. A. Winston, St. Louis, Mo.
