To save a sick body I sought Christian Science, but little did I know that the healing of my body was but the call for a full and free salvation from sin-sickness,— from a self-centered life with its resultant defeat. This healing of the suffering body has been the gateway to that all-round healing of the man. Surely suffering was proved to be sin's necessity here. Hate, pride, and selfishness were so long enthroned that the poor heart leaps for joy as the love that passes all words fills it. How good it is to love instead of hate; how good to be meek rather than proud; how good to be selfless and not selfish, to rise from the depths up to the heights of God's love. The same Principle that is doing its perfect work in healing me of hatred, of pride, of self-righteousness, of all the sins and errors of mortal mind, healed my sick body, and I am coming to know God as All, —to know that my real existence is inseparable as I understand and demonstrate the truth.

I should not be here to-day, in abounding health and with praise in my heart, were it not for Mrs. Eddy's life of love. May I ever love and honor that life. I cannot forget the one whose teachings helped me back to life and taught me to walk in the light. May I show my gratitude by loving others as she has loved.— E. C. Barto, Champaign, Ill.
