Nearly eight years ago Christian Science was first brought to my attention through the healing of my sister, who had been a semi-invalid for several years previous. On witnessing this sudden emergence from darkness into light, I naturally became interested, sought help, and in one week's time was greatly benefited both physically and mentally, being healed of sick headaches, to which I had been subject as far back as I can remember. Other physical ailments have also been destroyed through the application of Christian Science. One in particular I would like to mention, as it may give some seeker for the light encouragement to press on and be not weary in well-doing. I was attacked with a form of rheumatism whereby I was greatly hindered in walking, and at two different periods (about six days apart) on awaking in the morning it was with the greatest difficulty that I could move. I managed within a short time to get out to a practitioner, who lived near where I then resided, and a treatment in each instance put me on my feet in more ways than one, and the ailment was entirely destroyed in a short time.

I could never enumerate the many proofs I have had, and do have every day, of God's care and protection through the study and right application of Christian Science; the ever-present help it is to my loved ones; the ailments that have been destroyed through absent treatments; the knowing that we can lift the burdens that beset humanity, and the peace it brings to us in relieving such as desire to live rightly, lovingly, and purely; and to realize all the good that is for each and every one.

I am very thankful that I have been privileged to gain this true understanding of God,—this demonstrable truth, given to us through the untiring devotion of our dearly loved Leader, Mrs. Eddy, who, as the Discoverer of Christian Science, is enabling so many weary, diseased, and heart-sore pilgrims to find their way into the consciousness of man's unity with his Maker.
