From the time I was a small boy until recently, a period of some ten years, I was subject to attacks of mental depression and overburdening pessimism, supposedly of hereditary origin. They occurred sometimes once or twice a year, often every month or so. After a few hours, or even a day, of black darkness and despair, I would return to my normal condition, and was so ashamed of my subjection to such attacks that I did not speak of them to the family, and made no use of Christian Science in the case. About a year ago an unusually severe attack came to me. Having gone to a practitioner, a dear friend, about another matter, the greater error was brought out. This lady helped me then, and again a few months later, and showed me how to help myself through the understanding of God's government of man, as taught in Christian Science. The sense of mental depression has been overcome, and all fear of its recurrence removed.

I have been helped through many demonstrations in Christian Science over physical troubles, but I am especially thankful to God for the destruction of this error, which at times seemed to deprive me of man's heritage of peace and harmony. I am also grateful to our Leader, who has brought us this healing truth.
