It is not easy to explain to myself why I have so long...

S. C. Ramsdell

It is not easy to explain to myself why I have so long withheld a public expression of my gratitude for all the blessings that have come to me through Christian Science. I had been helped so much, spiritually and physically, and had derived such benefit from the literature and from the church services, that, like many others, I wanted all my relatives to know about Christian Science, and was disappointed when I saw that some would not accept it. I know, however, that they will in time, as those who did endorse its teachings have joined me in the work, and the good seed which has been sown will bring forth good fruit.

A few years ago I heard of Christian Science through a friend whom God had led into this saving truth, but I confess I could not believe in it at first. I was, however, willing to be convinced. I read Science and Health and other books by Mrs. Eddy, and soon my doubts were removed. I desire to tell of one of the many ailments that were overcome. I had suffered from rheumatism for several months, had been greatly helped, and felt that I did not need treatment any longer, but I realize now how much fear I had. One day, while in the presence of a practitioner, my heart was suddenly affected, so that I could not do anything for the time being, but as soon as she declared the truth, that ailment was destroyed almost instantaneously. After two weeks I was relieved of all pain, and I have been free from it ever since. For this experience, as well as many others which have proven to me that Christian Science is the truth, words are inadequate to express my gratitude; but we are taught in Science and Health that the most sincere expression of gratitude is in our pure, true living. I am grateful to God for this revelation, also to our dear Leader, and I wish to thank all who patiently helped to unfold this healing truth to me.
