A great happiness is surely given us, when we are privileged to testify to the healing power of Christ, Truth. Early last spring, when the days began to lengthen and to suggest the summer outing, I became greatly troubled over my left foot, which had been severely strained and had troubled me for nearly a year. For many weeks it was done up in "liquid glass," then bandaged, then it became necessary to wear a brass plate to support the arch of the foot. All this, however, was of no avail. The pain increased ; the ankle was constantly growing weaker, and the thought that I should be obliged to give up my long walking trips was a great distress to me. Just at this trying moment, I received a call from a Christian Scientist. How can I express what that single call has done for me! My healing was wonderful. After the third treatment. I left off the bandage and brass plate and walked with strength and firmness; and during a sojourn of five months in the country—taking many long walks among the hills —my foot never gave me one moment's trouble. No words can express my gratitude and happiness over this freedom from bondage.

It was but natural that I should desire to know more of this wonderful power, and I began at once to study the Bible with Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy. I should make my testimony far too long if I were to write of the rich experience which this reading has brought to me. Many times I have realized my self-ignorance and have been made to see that I must watch and pray without ceasing, but I feel sure that my desire for spiritual growth is sincere, and if that is the case, as Mrs. Eddy says, my heavenly Father will open the way.
