I wish to express my gratitude for the physical healing as well as for the many other blessings I have received through Christian Science. I took up the study of this teaching about fifteen years ago, when in deep sorrow and very despondent. I had come to a place where I did not feel that I wanted to live any longer. I had been raised in a Christian family, but my understanding was that all my burdens were sent to me by God. At this time a dear friend who was studying Christian Science told me that I was God's child and that He loved and took care of all His children, therefore would take care of me. I was also given a Bible, along with the textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mrs. Eddy, and told to study them. The result was that I was healed of my sorrow, also of a skin disease of ten years' standing which had failed to yield to many different treatments.

Last winter I was called to the country. I had been living in a steam-heated apartment, but in the country I had a room that was not heated. At the end of a week I had a very severe cold, and returned to my city home with all the symptoms of acute lung trouble. The cough was so severe that I had to raise myself up in my bed in order to breathe. A practitioner was asked to treat me, and in a few days I was entirely healed.

These are only a few of the many proofs I have received of the healing power of Truth. Words cannot express my thankfulness to God for His great goodness, nor can I express my gratitude for our revered Leader, Mrs. Eddy, and for what her explanation of Truth is doing for me every day and hour.—
