It is with a deep sense of gratitude and love to God, that I give my testimony of the health, joy, and gladness which have come into my life through Christian Science, lifting me from a state of semi-invalidism, of many years' standing, into the glorious realization of freedom from every ill, and proving to me without a doubt that Christian Science can and does heal the sick. I was a member of an orthodox church since childhood, and its loving associations still linger in my memory. While yet struggling to relinquish those cherished associations, God pointed the way and furnished many proofs of His healing power through Christian Science. It is now four years since I have used any kind of medicine, and during this time I have been healed of throat trouble, neuralgia, headache, colds, and many other ills, simply through the reading of "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mrs. Eddy. I have also been healed of heart-trouble from which I suffered for eighteen years, finding no relief in medicine, rest, or change of climate. I was fettered with a fear that each day might be my last; my breathing was so heavy and labored that it was distressing to those around me. Many nights I had to sit up because I could not breathe while lying down. Through Christian Science all this has passed away as a dream. Were this all it did for me, it would merit all the praise that I could give it, but infinitely more than this have I found in the teachings of Christian Science. It has taught me to read the Bible so as to understand its spiritual import, which heals and saves. Many sick ones have been raised up in our family. One case was the healing of my little nephew of spinal-meningities. To human sense there seemed no hope; he was doomed to death, or if he lived, to a fate worse than death. In spite of the opposition to Christian Science of friends who meant to be kind, he was restored whole, without one blemish or weakness, proving that there is no other power than that of God. If those who have nothing but censure for a religion that can give so much help, could only feel this healing touch, could only understand this truth which brings freedom from all sickness and sorrow, they would turn their censure into praise. Christian Science ennobles and uplifts mankind, and brings health, happiness, and prosperity to all who come within its influence.

I wish to express my grateful appreciation of the Sentinel and Journal. They bear joyful messages of love, — the unfolding of individual experiences through the infinite possibilities of Christian Science. My heart goes out in love to Mrs. Eddy, whose pure, unselfish life and teachings have brought health and peace into so many hearts and homes. Although I have ofttimes stumbled, I am grateful for every step that has enabled me to plant my feet more firmly on the Rock of Ages.

Mrs. Eva M. Mead, Chillicothe, Ill.
