I am so thankful that I have learned of the ever presence of God as taught in Christian Science. Many times when I have seemed discouraged, the following passage from Isaiah has been a source of comfort and strength to me: "Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness." A very sore finger was healed through my small understanding of this truth. Many other ailments, such as toothache, colds, chilblains, and so forth, have been overcome. My husband was healed of an abscess, of influenza, and of other discordant conditions.

When interested in Christian Science about a year, we planned to take a two weeks' vacation, starting on a certain Monday. Saturday night my husband was taken very ill with what seemed like ptomaine poisoning. We trusted wholly in God and knew there was nothing to prevent our starting on the trip as planned. He was in bed all day Sunday but began to improve that evening, and the next morning was well enough to get up. We made the trip without any trouble, and were both happy and grateful for this demonstration of God's power and allness. A great trouble seemed to come upon us, but it was overcome in a wonderful and beautiful way, showing the power of Truth over error. I have attended different churches all my life, but never felt satisfied until I found the Christian Science church. I am very grateful for this beautiful truth, and am trying to express my gratitude in deeds, as it is impossible to do so in words.—(Mrs.) Jessie M. Jaques, San Francisco, Cal.
