I have just finished the reading of Professor Hering's letter to our dear Leader in the Sentinel of December 24, and the thought came to me to give to the Field my experience with the Lesson-Sermon mentioned in his letter. I had struggled for a week or more with an old trouble, and it seemed at times as if I must ask for help. On Sunday night, a week before we were to have the Lesson referred to, I sat down with my books and began its study, and it seemed to me that during the five years in which I had known of Christian Science, I had never realized so clearly the meaning of the spiritual creation, nor seen the nothingness of the material, as I did at this time. It was simply a revelation, and after studying this Lesson I was so interested that I went over it all again. I am happy to say that when I arose next morning the old trouble had disappeared.

I find it impossible to express in words my gratitude for Christian Science. I had suffered from stomach trouble in one of its worst forms, also nervous prostration, before knowing of this glorious, new-old truth, but I found that my greatest need was, and is, to be healed of sin, of hate, self-love, and self-will, and to know only one self and that the reflection of infinite good. Christian Science has certainly done wonders for me. My father and a number of our family had passed away with lung trouble, and this fear was suggested over and over again to me, during a struggle, until our Leader's words in "Miscellaneous Writings," page 151, line 24, were discovered, and they met my need. I want to close this testimony with gratitude to the one who was pure enough and brave enough to make it possible for me to know my relationship to God.
