Over three years ago my attention was called to Christian Science at a time when I could not see any help ahead. I had just lost my little boy and felt as if I never could be comforted. I met a friend one evening and she asked me to try Christian Science. The next afternoon I called on a practitioner, and when she treated me I was completely lifted out of my troubles. That evening I went to the testimony meeting, and it was a great joy to me as I learned of the truth that makes men free. A short time after this I again called on the practitioner for relief from hemorrhage and was healed in one treatment. A year later we were blessed with a healthy, happy little girl, and I experienced no suffering at all. I have been healed of varicose veins after a doctor said there was no cure except by an operation, also of catarrh in its worst form, from which I had suffered since childhood, just by reading Science and Health.

For all these healings I am deeply grateful; and for the spiritual uplift which has accompanied them my gratitude is beyond expression. I cannot say too much for Christian Science, as it has always met my every need. When I first heard of this teaching I thought if it could only be true, why it was the same as if Christ were here again. At times my joy knew no expression,—I was so glad to know it was a practical truth, which we had with us all the time. It gives us a different outlook on life, which is larger and more full of meaning than ever before; a desire to be better, to achieve some good every day. When I read the Bible and Science and Health in the morning, everything goes well for the day.

In sickness and in health Christian Science has been our comfort and our stay. I can truthfully say I think anything is possible in Science if we are faithful. I praise God for giving Mrs. Eddy power to explain the truth to us so clearly that we all can avail ourselves of it today.—Mrs. Frank Young, Sault Ste. Marie, Mich.
