The gratitude I feel for Christian Science can never be expressed in words, but I give my testimony with the hope it may reach some one who is in need of this healing truth. For twelve years before I found Christian Science, I was a sufferer not from one disease only, but many,—severe bowel and also heart trouble, besides nervousness, being among them. I would frequently have attacks of the heart trouble so severe that hypodermic injections had to be administered and I would be helpless for hours. The physician told me there could be no cure, that the attacks would come on when I least expected, and that I would die in one of them, as they were becoming more and more severe. I was very sad, and spent most of my time crying, because the suffering was so great that life seemed a burden to me, and I felt as though I was a burden to every one around me.

A dear friend who was interested in Christian Science, seeing my great need of help, spoke of it to me, and I am so thankful that when I first knew of it I heard it in the right way. The word of Truth came to me when I had lost faith in medicine and had given up hope of ever being well again, and I grasped it eagerly, for it gave me hope, and I thought it the most beautiful thing I had ever heard. I purchased a copy of Science and Health and commenced to read, and within a week I was overjoyed to find myself healed of the bowel trouble. I saw that Christian Science was the truth, for it had made me free. I kept on reading and studying, and was also healed of the heart trouble and nervousness.

I was lifted out of all those troubles simply through the study of "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mrs. Eddy, and it is now over a year and a half since I have taken any medicine. I disposed of all drugs two weeks after I began to read the text-book. I have had some beautiful demonstrations since coming into Christian Science, both for myself and in my family, for all of which I am grateful. I thank God for the trials I have gone through, for each overcoming has made me so much stronger. I know that of myself I can do nothing; it is God, Truth, working through me, and I am indeed thankful to know that I can work with God and that divine Principle solves all problems. I do strive each day for that Mind which was also in Christ Jesus, that through my daily living I may show my gratitude to God and also to our dear Leader, Mrs. Eddy, for all I am and all I ever expect to be I owe to Christian Science.
