It is with a deep feeling of gratitude to Christian Science that I tell just a few instances of the help I have received during the last five years. I had reached a place in my life where I was disagreeable and ill, only being able to eat certain foods and having fainting spells. I had come to the conclusion that there was no God, for I could not get an explanation of all the misfortunes I saw around me. I had ridiculed Christian Science, but had not read a word of the authorized literature. One afternoon I found on a table "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mrs. Eddy, and picking it up I started to read. I read for a few hours and found that God is Love and that the Bible really does contain the truth. I was completely healed, and have not used medicine since. About a year after this I was healed of smoking in one treatment. I have also been healed of blood poisoning caused by running a rusty nail into my foot. There was a desire in the home that I should see a doctor, but in two days the condition was normal. I used to be always worrying, but Christian Science has altered that, because I know that God has created everything perfect and that all His creation is in its right place.

Whilst training I was healed in one treatment of what seemed to be a severe attack of rheumatism. During ten months of service in France I have had many proofs of the protecting power of divine Love, and have been enabled to endure hardships which would have been impossible before becoming interested in this demonstrable Science. I am very grateful for the peace it has given those at home. I am also grateful for the organization which has enabled me to receive the authorized literature. One can always get right out of the war and find rest by studying it or the Lesson-Sermon. Each day I become more grateful to Mrs. Eddy, because without her pure thought these blessings would not have been possible.
