To-day my heart sings aloud its song of praise to the most High for all His wonderful goodness to me. Nearly three years ago a friend, upon my request for something to read, gave me a Christian Science book. I read it hungrily, and when I had finished it the world seemed a different place. Further reading convinced me that Christian Science was the truth I had long been seeking. "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mrs. Eddy, came next, and proved so absorbing that I read it three times; but before the first reading was half accomplished, one trouble, which had seemed to be a part of me, vanished, and another, from which I had not been free two weeks at a time for two years, was forgotten. About a year ago I had a malarial attack, which I seemed unable to overcome, and suffered considerably from various forms which the disease assumed. During Thursday afternoon I worked hard for strength to go to the telephone and ask a practitioner, thirteen miles distant, for treatment ; and the strength came. The fever disappeared in less than twenty-four hours, and there were no more chills. On Saturday I sat up all day, Monday I went to work, and in less than three weeks weighed more than I ever had before.

Since taking up the study of Christian Science I have used no medicine, but I am kept in better health, and above all am happier, than I had hitherto supposed people could be in this world. A violent temper, which all my efforts had hitherto failed to conquer, has been practically overcome. It is beautiful to be able to love people more and more, as I learn that God is Love and all His children must reflect love. The Bible and Mrs. Eddy's books are a source of unending joy to me. I am grateful for the help I have received from many Scientists, to all who contribute to our periodicals, to our wise and loving Leader who so surely guides us aright, and above all to God, the giver of all good and of good only. There is much wherein I have fallen short, but nothing wherein Christian Science has failed ; and humbly I remember that "the lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; yea, I have a goodly heritage."
