I wish to express my heartfelt gratitude to God for the great blessings I have received in Christian Science. Through reading Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy, I was inspired to read the Bible more, to believe God's promises, and apply the truth as Mrs. Eddy teaches. All my life I had been a great sufferer from what a physician pronounced incurable stomach trouble. I was unable to work; in fact I was too miserable to walk very much. At length a lady advised me to see a Christian Science practitioner and ask for help, and as soon as I could feel sufficient strength I hobbled to her house one morning and asked if she would heal me. I tried to tell her all my troubles, and she assured me that God is good and that He loved me. She begged me to return good for evil in my discordant home, and to try to see error as impersonal. She told me to watch my thoughts, to keep them in clean and healthy channels, and said that the body would respond in proportion to the purity of my thoughts. Thank God, I was healed perfectly and permanently in that one treatment. Nearly a year has passed since my healing and I have not had a return of an ache or pain. I am working steadily, washing, ironing, and cooking, walking miles each week.

I cannot explain my spiritual advance. I feel nearer to God, and know that Love is always with me. I have had some very good demonstrations for myself. While washing, one day, a pin went deep into my hand. I pulled it out and declared the truth,—that God is the only power,—and did not have any trouble with my hand. My home is growing more and more harmonious, and I feel that I am doing a good work among my race, which needs the truth so much. I am thankful to begin to know that God is All, and that all is good. God bless our kind and good Leader.—Evangeline Young, Jacksonville, Fla.
