I wish to add my mite, and speak of some of the benefits I have received from Christian Science. A few years ago I was taken very sick, and lingered along for weeks, apparently growing worse as the days went by. There was a general breaking-down, with various complications, and it seemed to me that there was no help for me anywhere. I knew then of the healing efficacy of Truth, but I was loth to turn to God for help. At the last moment, however, I turned wearily to Christian Science. My healing was slow, it seemed to me, but there was certainly a thorough eradication of my many ills, and to God belongs all the praise. Not only was I healed from disease, but from many sins and bad habits, including the use of tobacco.

Previous to my conversion to the truth, it seemed impossible for me to have any geninue success. I was out of work a good share of the time, and when employed did not get on with my business associates. All this is now changed; for three years I have had an abundance of good things,—steady employment, excellent health, a cheerful disposition, "with malice towards none, with charity for all." I am still climbing upward, slowly but surely. My work, from a material standpoint, is very hard,—tugging and lifting, hour after hour,—but with no bad effects; and Christian Science has done it all.

Some years ago the doctors told me I never would be able to do any hard work, but since I have been healed in Christian Science I can do the very hardest work. I am out in all kinds of weather, working some days from ten to fifteen hours, and am strong and healthy where once I was weak and full of fear. The little understanding of the truth which I have, I would not exchange for money or fame.
