I did not take up the study of Christian Science for physical help, but was attracted to it through the healing of my wife. Some three and one half years before beginning the study I had joined a church and endeavored to the best of my ability to live a Christian life. I made no pretense of trying to understand the step I was taking. I simply wanted to lead a better life and had been led to think this was an all-important step to take. I could not understand the Bible and could not interest myself in it, but I always believed in doing unto others as I would be done by, and that was about all I could see in it.

Since taking up the study of "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mrs. Eddy, and reading the Bible under the increased light which it throws on the Scriptures, I am beginning to think as did the blind man of old whom Jesus had healed, "Whereas I was blind, now I see." Christian Science has made a great change in my life. It has changed it from a mere existence to a life worth living. Discord has been exchanged for harmony in many ways, and I can see as I advance and gain a more correct understanding of God, brighter prospects than would have been my lot otherwise.

I have been greatly benefited physically, but the spiritual help has meant much more to me. I thank God for His ever-present help, and for His messenger Mrs. Eddy, who has so plainly shown us how to follow Jesus' teachings and to know the allness of God, good, and the nothingness of evil.—W. H. Helfer, Lemoore, Cal.
