It is with a deep sense of gratitude that I submit my testimony to the efficacy of Christian Science to heal and to comfort. It has been my help for a number of years, and under its teachings errors of many sorts have been destroyed in my consciousness. From a better understanding of what God is, there has come to me a sense of freedom and peace and harmony which I cannot express in words, and which I can only try to show through love and thankfulness. Since I have been interested in Christian Science many physical difficulties have been healed, and during periods of disappointment and trouble this truth has indeed been my comforter and given me strength in time of need. Through the reading and study of Mrs. Eddy's writings I have learned valuable lessons; I have learned to understand and love the Bible, and have gained a sense of love and compassion which has overcome to a large extent in my own thought the sense of fear and ignorance.

For the joy and harmony which surround me, and for the knowledge of the truth which I have gained in Christian Science, I am truly thankful, as this knowledge, slight as it may seem, is sufficient to guide me to a fuller understanding, and has many times enabled me to be of service to others. My feeling for Mrs. Eddy is one of boundless gratitude; and for the love and kindness I have received from other faithful Christian Scientists when it has been necessary for me to ask for help, I am sincerely thankful. I desire to express this thankfulness in loyalty and obedience to the teachings of Christian Science as given by Mrs. Eddy in our text-book, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures."
