I have long felt that I must express my gratitude for Christian Science. I did not come to it for physical healing, although I have been healed of many complaints. About six years ago (at which time I was in school), my aunt, who had raised me, became interested in Christian Science, and while visiting her she told me of her interest in it. I knew nothing of its teachings, but I encouraged her to try it, for she needed help, as she had been sorrowful and sick for some time. She purchased a copy of Science and Health, began to read, and found in it the truth for which she had been longing. When I again returned from school there was such a change! My aunt's face was bright and happy, and the home also seemed full of peace and joy. My aunt told me about her healing and the spiritual uplift she had gained through the study of Christian Science. I knew then it was the truth that makes all men free.

One of the greatest blessings this great truth has brought to me is a clearer understanding of the Bible. The daily study of our Lesson-Sermons is such a pleasure, and I learn that "the Christian Science God is universal, eternal, divine Love, which changeth not and causeth no evil, disease, nor death" (Science and Health, p. 140). I have had many glorious proofs that divine Love destroys sin and disease. My daily prayer is to know God and serve Him in His way. I thank God that I was shown this truth, and I am truly grateful to Mrs. Eddy for making plain to us the way.
