It is difficult for me to enumerate the many times when Christian Science has benefited me, for it has been a continual help since I was twelve years old. At that time this truth was brought into our home through the healing of my father after he had been given up by the best doctors in Kansas City, Memphis, and other places. I am indeed very grateful that I had the privilege of becoming a Christian Scientist while yet a child. I could mention the overcoming of a severe attack of mumps, and spells of very severe headache. In looking back over these years, I can, however, see that Christian Science has been to me a daily preventive of disease.

But that for which I am most grateful is the understanding I have gained from the study of the Bible and Science and Health. The fact that God is omnipresent intelligence has been my daily help. In a ward school, then during four years of high school study, and later four years of work in a well-known eastern college, this understanding has helped me over every rugged place. A year and a half ago, when I was asked to teach a subject which had never been my favorite one, it seemed as if I could not do it; but immediately the thought of the supreme intelligence constantly guiding me asserted itself, and I accepted. I have been successful in this work and have learned to love it. The credit for this I give to God, the infinite Mind. In my class-room it is such a beautiful privilege to manifest this ever-operative intelligence in my work and to help my pupils to reflect it also.

Another thought which has helped me is that God is Love. It is indeed easy to find Love reflected when we first manifest it ourselves. I hope I may express my gratitude to God, also to Mrs. Eddy for this truth, by daily striving to gain more of this spiritual understanding which leads into all truth.—Annie Shuck, Fort Worth, Tex.
