Christian Science has done so much for me that it is difficult to find words to express my gratitude. I was left alone in the world at the age of eight years, having lost both mother and father. I was in the care of an aunt who educated me and instructed me in the Bible. I endeavored to do what I thought was my duty, committing to memory many chapters in the Bible, and I rarely ever missed a service at the church. Knowing nothing of the true affection of a mother, I was dissatisfied with life as it seemed. I married very young, my health failed, and the cares of the home kept me, as I then thought, from attending to my religious duties. During eight years of constant suffering, I tried every material remedy, but realized only temporary relief, and still I did not see that God was my only help. I was in utter despair when one of His messengers,—an earnest and faithful practitioner in Christian Science,—came to me and asked me if I really wanted treatment. I knew nothing of its healing power and doubted it as most of us do, but knowing that there were no other means of relief I was eager to try Christian Science. The healing was instantaneous. I read at the practitioner's home the following morning, the "New Birth" by Mrs. Eddy (Miscellaneous Writings), and found in Truth the Comforter, Mother, Father,—all that I had so longed for in the past years. Though we have trials and temptations there is a never—failing source from which we obtain grace and peace. I am thankful for that blessed book, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," which opens the way to Life, Truth, and Love.

—Mrs. Willie H. Deakins, Rome, Ga.
