I feel it a duty as well as a great pleasure to add my testimony to state what Christian Science has done for me, although words are inadequate to express all I feel. I was a sufferer for twenty years, and had undergone a severe operation. It seems to me that I tried every material means without help. Christian Science was presented to me by a lady who was almost a stranger to me, when I was visiting my daughter. The lady said there was a practitioner in the town and she would bring her to see me, and she did so. I shall never forget her kind and loving words, and her happy face. She gave me two treatments and I was greatly relieved. The healing has been permanent; I have never used any material means since, and that was over three years ago. The practitioner advised me to get "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mrs. Eddy, and the Quarterly, which I did, and found the blessed Christ-teaching. I found that God is Love, and ever present; that He is All-in-all, that He is "the strength of my life." I can say with Mary, "My soul doth magnify the Lord."

My heart goes out to Mrs. Eddy in great thankfulness and love. I am striving to follow her teachings, to be instant in action, ever ready to offer the "cup of cold water in Christ'sname, and never fear the consequences" (Science and Health, p. 570). I have been able to make many wonderful demonstrations for myself and others. How thankful I am for Christian Science, for the light which has dawned upon me, for the glorious gift of God's love. I am also grateful for the loving-kindness of those who broke the bread of life to me. I am striving to reach the heights where God is fully understood.—Mrs. J. V. Loughrey, Morristown, S. Dak.
