Having just read a most helpful article written by our revered Leader, Mrs. Eddy, I am impelled to express the great joy, and the gratitude which I feel toward God, and also to the Discoverer and Founder of Christian Science. The forcefulness and authority of her words is ever inspiring, and gives the peaceful assurance and realization of the apostle's declaration that "now are we the sons of God," and that now we may claim our inheritance as the offspring of God "if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in us." Christian Science has done everything for me in comforting and showing me the truth during some recent trying experiences. We feel the blessed assurance that the activity of man as the reflection of God is continuous.

I have experienced convincing proofs of the healing power of Christian Science, such as the healing of a badly injured finger, even after what was called "infected flesh" had set in; the overcoming of a tendency to the ill effects of ivy-poisoning; the instantaneous healing of the sting of a bee, and healing in several severe attacks of illness. I am very thankful for what understanding I have of Christian Science, and shall strive to know and reflect more of our divine inheritance as the immortal offspring of God.
