As I seat myself to add my grateful testimony to the thousands who are to-day proclaiming the power of the risen Lord, through Christian Science, I am so mindful of the blessings showered upon me and mine, during about four years' study of this truth, and joy-bringing experiences so throng thought, that I am truly at a loss as to where to begin the "wondrous story." Hopeless and well-nigh helpless, after years of disapponting experiences with physicians, drugs, and special treatment along various lines, I turned to Christian Science as a last resort, and my cry, "Help, Lord, or I perish," was so promptly and so naturally answered that I was restored to the most vigorous, buoyant health without being conscious of any process of healing. This all came without treatment, and merely through the reading of "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures." Since my first glimpse of the indissoluble, changeless relation of God to His children, there has never been an hour of trial or distress in which He has failed to be an ever-present Father, Physician, Friend.

Not long since, one of my teeth broke off, and when I went to a dentist a month later, he asked if I had not suffered when the tooth broke. I assured him that there had been merely a trifling soreness, apparently caused by the forcible loosening from the gum, and he then informed me that the nerve had broken squarely in two, and frankly admitted that he could not understand the absence of pain which would ordinarily attend such an occurrence. Our revered Leader tells us in Science and Health, on page 488, that nerves have no sensation, and this was certainly proof positive of the truth of her statement.
