For about seven years we have known of Christian Science, and find it truly a help at all times and in all conditions of life. The question is often asked, How long will it take one to be able to apply Christian Science and help others? I can answer this question with the following experience. During the first week of our knowing of Christian Science, and after we had attended the services twice, one evening, while undressing for the night, a feeling came over me as if I could not breathe. At first the thought came that I would ask my husband for a glass of water, yet, being filled with the thought of Christian Science and convinced of the ever-presence and all-power of God, I desisted and did not express my desire, knowing that water had no power to help me. Thereby the feeling of suffocation was overcome and the application of Christian Science brought an instantaneous help which proved to me God's presence and power. With a grateful heart I acknowledge that through the study of Christian Science, as taught in Science and Health, I have been entirely freed from a disease which the professors in Germany pronounced floating kidney, and through my growing understanding of the teachings of Christ Jesus as given again to the world, I have been enabled to help others. Is not this a convincing proof of the truth of the saying, "Who trusts in God, does not build on sand." O, may all, who call themselves Christians, become adherents of Christ in truth and in deed, and thus share in the same blessings and promises.
