As a student of Christian Science many blessings have come to me, many practical proofs of the healing power and ever present care and guidance of divine Love; hence the desire to share the joy with a larger number impels me to send this written testimony.

I was led to Christian Science when, as an active member of an orthodox church, I was seeking with all my heart to know more of God, to be able to make practical to the needs of humanity the beautiful promises in the Bible. Experience in missionary work among the poor, the sick, and the sinning had been teaching me that poverty and disease were often the result of sin or the mistakes of mortals, not that God had sent affliction for some good purpose, as was too often believed and taught by Christian workers; but how to remove these discords had yet to be learned, for prayers had thus far produced no lasting benefit.

On entering the vestry of the original Mother Church edifice, where I attended for the first time a Christian Science service, the familiar Bible verse over the platform, "God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble," came to me with an assurance never before realized, and it seemed to me that every part of the service and every testimony was corroborating this text. At the close of the meeting a copy of "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mrs. Eddy was purchased, and I began earnestly to study it, with the result that not only the spiritual uplift so much desired but the healing of physical ills was very soon experienced.
