As one who has received untold blessings through the teachings of Christian Science, I desire to express my gratitude for the revelation of Truth, which has healed me of many ills. It has shed a light on the Scriptures that enables me to read the Bible understandingly, perusing it from a sense of pleasure instead of mere duty. It has incresed my dependence on God, good, and established a greater desire to walk in the footsteps of Christ.

In December, 1915, I was stricken with paralysis. Next day I called in a Christian Science practitioner, and in three days was moving about the house again. In less than two weeks the healing was complete. I was also healed at this of a bowel disorder which had troubled me for over forty years. My healing seemed more remarkable because to mortal sense I am past eighty-five years of age. At another time, while reading Science and Health I was healed of very bad cold. In answer to a question by Jesus to the disciples, Peter replied, "Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God." When reading those words I felt the healing so clearly that I spoke out loud and said, "I am healed."

I surely thank God for Christian Science. My health is very good for my age. I study Science and Health and the Bible every day. Christian Science is my delight, and I attend the services regularly. I read Science literature in preference to anything else, and love it, for it is so uplifting.—Mary Cox, Sacramento, Cal.
