After three years' study of Christian Science, I want to express my gratitude for the great blessings it has brought me. As a child I attended a Sunday school and tried to believe what was taught me about God, yet I could get no answers to my prayers. As I grew older I ceased to attend any church, until I gradually came to regard what is called nature as the cause and law of existence, though this belief seemed coldblooded and cruel in its mode of operation. I met with trouble and sorrow on every side, and at last my thoughts became hard and full of resistance. I had periods of great depression and hopelessness, and this unhappy mental state naturally resulted in poor bodily conditions.

Finally Christian Science was mentioned to me by a newly made friend, and with the first reading of Science and Health the light began to dawn upon me, the hateful thoughts and hard way of looking at life melted away, and I found that God's law does destroy all that is unlike good. A heart weakness and poor circulation, also stomach disorders, disappeared through my study; but for the peace that passeth understanding, and my changed view-point of life, I am most grateful. My aim is to demonstrate the truth and beauty of the word that Mrs. Eddy has given to the world. I am thankful for the privilege of class instruction, and also for our Christian Science literature with which the Publishing Society supplies us. Any one who is discouraged by human experiences can find rest and hope in Christian Science.
