My testimony is given with the desire to encourage those who may have to pass through similar experiences, and openly to glorify the Father. Brought up in a so-called Christian manner, that is, according to the ritual, dogma, and catechism of the worship of an anthropomorphic God, I had abandoned every belief in such a God and become a materialist, even an antireligionist. In the years 1907 and 1908, however, great sorrows, accompanied by loss of fortune, prepared me to receive the Science of Christ. The study of this Science gradually changed my life completely, explaining all that I had never understood and revealing a just God who knows only good.

As I advanced in understanding, the truth delivered me from several forms of bondage. First heart disease disappeared, then the smoking habit of twenty years' standing. Every previous effort to smoke less had grievously failed, but all desire to smoke left me at once, without causing any sense of deprivation. Since that time I have also been able to eat every kind of food which previously made me ill.

In September, 1910, an opportunity presented itself to prove that matter has of itself neither intelligence nor sensation. Some fireworks exploded in my hand and terribly burned it. In the first moment of surprise I suffered, but by turning directly to Truth, with the help of a practitioner who was present, I was able to realize that matter has no sensation. From that instant all suffering ceased to such an extent that I slept calmly, and no swelling or fever was manifested.
