I desire to express my deepest gratitude for what Christian Science has done for myself and my family. Christian Science came to us about a year ago, and since that time it has met and overcome many troubles, both physical and mental, and several demonstrations in business have also been made. During all my life I had been seeking something helpful in the way of a creed, and had dipped into various religions and beliefs: but none were satisfying, and until Christian Science was brought to my attention, at a time when everything appeared to be the darkest, I was adrift, although trying in a measure, and as best suited my own convenience, to live up to the teachings received in my boyhood days. Christian Science came to me, however, and opened up the way to a purer and better life and a true knowledge of God. I have proved for myself, beyond the question of doubt, that "we live, and move, and have our being" in God. This knowledge has been brought to me through the study of "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mrs. Eddy, to whom I am more than grateful, and through whom the Christ-truth has been brought to a sick and sinful world. For several years I had compound astigmatism. I was forced to wear glasses, and if I took them off when at work, it would cause the most terrible headaches and compel me to give up and go home. The first time that I picked up Science and Health to read I forgot to put on glasses. From that day on I have never had recourse to them, and only on three or four occasions since then has any sense of headache returned, and it was almost instantly met in Science. Indigestion, bodily fatigue under most trying circumstances, and other physical ailments have also passed away.

The physical healing, however, has to me been the least. When I think of the cleanliness of thought and of daily life realized since coming into Christian Science, my gratitude is too deep to find expression in words. I know that "The Lord is my shepherd," and that He has led me to a higher knowledge of good, through the paths of rightenousness, — right thinking.
