Something over a year ago I came into Christian Science, not for the healing alone, although I had received many benefits before commencing to study it. I had been enabled to leave off glasses, and to have my eyes perfectly well and strong. I had also received help when my throat was so sore that I could not sing, so that for five years I have taken no medicine. At last, however, I came to Christian Science for help to live a life that seemed too full of sorrow to endure, and comfort and help have come to me since realizing that divine Love is my guide. Upon leaving America, I was suffering from a very severe attack of bronchitis,—not being able to fill my last engagement. I had treatment before leaving, but the trouble did not yield. It was suggested that the ocean trip would soon relieve me, but instead I grew worse, so that when I arrived in London it was with the worst kind of fear, for every one there said it would be impossible to get over the trouble in the damp atmosphere. After struggling with these conditions for a week, I was introduced to a Christian Scientist, who treated me, and within a week's time I was quite free from the cough and was able to sing. The influenza went very soon after.

I feel the deepest love and gratitude for that wonderful woman, Mrs. Eddy, and for the loving Scientists who have shown me the way in this healing truth. When I arrived in London, I did not know a person, but it was not long before I felt I had a host of good friends. In the London churches they certainly reflect much of love. Christian Science has done so much for me that I feel I must tell about it, for there may be others who are suffering as I was from a miserable throat trouble. If we could all realize that it is "In atmosphere of love divine, we live, and move, and breathe," climate would have no effect on us.—Sibyl Sammis, London, England.
