For eighteen years Christian Science has been the means of bringing many blessings into my life. About five years prior to the time when my own active interest in the subject began, a relative had been healed of a chronic disease pronounced incurable by two physicians. Although I was grateful for her restored health, my interest in Christian Science was not deeply stirred. Later, however, when perplexities and troubles multiplied in my own experience, I commenced a careful study of the subject, with most gratifying results. Here indeed was the Science of being; here my questionings regarding God, man, substance, and force were satisfactorily answered, not merely theoretically, but practically, for demonstration followed spiritual enlightenment.

During eighteen years I have had but one serious illness. This was in the form of a mental and nervous breakdown, which occurred about ten years ago. Al though the adverse conditions were severe and lasted several months, the healing through Christian Science was complete. More than this, I found myself freer and healthier after the healing than at any time before. During this time of stress so-called hereditary and temperamental tendencies were destroyed which material or human means could never have reached. God's power alone is able to produce such radical results.

The satisfaction which comes with the spiritual outlook that Christian Science brings, must be experienced in order to be appreciated. This Science illumines every human problem, bringing joy and healing when faithfully followed. A small appreciation of Mrs. Eddy's great work for humanity awakens sincere gratitude, which grows more profound as her wonderful life and love are more fully comprehended.
