I have felt for some time I should express my thanks for the many blessings I have received from Christian Science. I was led to the study of Science and Health through the healing of our little girl. I was a member of an orthodox church at the time, but was not fully satisfied, and had a constant desire (which I afterwards learned was prayer) to know the straight and narrow way. With that desire uppermost in my thought I began to read Science and Health, but with no thought of being healed of my physical ailments. Before I had read the "little book" through I found to my great joy and surprise that I was healed of neuralgia, dyspepsia, heart trouble, and general debility, from which I had been a great sufferer for many years. My mental condition was also greatly changed. I had always been of a sad, despondent disposition, but what I have gained of this blessed truth has taught me to be light—hearted and happy. It is about eight years since I became interested in Christian Science, and during that time I have had many trials, which, however, did not leave me where they found me, but always on a higher plane of thought. I have found great comfort in the teachings of our text—book, when trials and temptations presented themselves.

Through the study of "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mrs. Eddy, and the help I have received from dear friends, I have had many demonstrations of the power of Truth over error, and one, for which I am especially grateful, is the undoubted proof that divine Love can and does destroy sorrow. Words can never express my gratitude for these blessings, and my desire is to so live that I may be worthy to name the name of Christ, and be a true Christian Scientist.
