With deep gratitude I testify to what Christian Science has done for me. For many years I suffered from what is called gastritis. In 1904 I had a serious attack of gastric trouble, and from that time until Christian Science came to me in 1910, I was constantly breaking down in health and never perfectly well. Now I am a strong, healthy woman, rarely having any disturbance which is not almost instantly overcome by the understanding gained through the study of Christian Science.

When I first read the Sentinel I thought it all beautiful and the testimonies impressed me very much, but I soon found we needed Science and Health, and so my husband borrowed a copy from the Christian Science Society in this town. I shall never forget the joy which came to me in reading the opening words of the Preface, "To those leaning on the sustaining infinite, today is big with blessings." My husband and I read the book together, and we most certainly have found the study of Christian Science "big with blessings." When faithfully applied it has proved adequate to overcome all difficulties, whether mental, physical, or financial.

After about two years I had what seemed to me then a very dark time, but it really only brought bigger blessings. It would be impossible to enumerate the many benefits springing from this experience, but one I should like to mention is class teaching. This step was opened up for me in a wonderful way, and the instruction received has proved of inestimable value in helping me always to turn from the human sense of things to the divine, encouraging me to put into practice the great truths contained in the text-book, and in all things to lean only on "the sustaining infinite."
