I should like to testify to the healing power of God as omnipresent Truth, Life, and Love. Nine years ago I was healed in Christian Science and saved from an operation which I greatly feared. After suffering for several months, I turned to Christian Science for physical help, because other efforts and means of relief had failed. I was treated for one week, during which time I became so interested in reading the text-book, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mrs. Eddy, that I gained a spiritual understanding of God such as I had never had before. At the end of the week I was perfectly healed, and attended a Christian Science service with my practitioner the following Sunday. From that time until now I have applied this healing truth to every problem that has come to me, and although put to severe tests it has never failed. It is comforting to know that the Christ-healing has come down to us, and was not a gift specially granted for a particular period. I cannot find words to express my love and gratitude to our beloved Leader, who has taught us what God is, and what He does for men. I greatly appreciate the work of the Lesson Committee, and our present order of service, which gives pure, simple, and wholesome spiritual food to the hungry.

A recent article in the Sentinel on "Christian Science from a Musician's Standpoint" was most helpful to me.

For about four years I have taken an active part in a local music club, which has a membership of nearly fifty. By applying the teachings of Christian Science I have overcome fear, not only in myself but for others, and harmony has been restored among the members when disagreements were expected. As there are no Christian Scientists in the club but myself, many opportunities are given me for spreading this saving truth and speaking a good word for our Cause.
