With a heart overflowing with gratitude to God for the numerous blessings that have come to me and mine through Christian Science, I give my testimony. I was healed of pellagra after it had reached the worst stage and medical doctors had pronounced my life of but few days. I have also been healed of chronic kidney trouble after suffering for many years, and many other discordant conditions have been overcome; but my gratitude for all this is indeed small when compared to the love and gratitude I feel for the spiritual uplift, the understanding in a degree of the ever presence and allness of God.

One morning not long ago I awoke with a sense of great depression. My mentality seemed in utter darkness; I could not get one clear thought. I arose, however, and went about my morning's work, though to sense I was most miserable. Soon the family had all gone out to their work or to school, and I was left alone. I kept trying to realize the truth, earnestly desiring to awaken myself from this state. About nine o'clock I was seized with almost unbearable suffering; then fear took possession of me. It was only a short distance to a practitioner, but I felt that I could never reach the place if I started; so I suffered on for hours. Finally the thought came that surely God knew my need and would send some one to help me. Then suddenly, as if they had been spoken, these words came to me: Now you are suffering and waiting for some person to come and help you, when God is an ever present help. In a moment my mentality cleared up. I realized at once the infinite ever presence of God and was healed instantaneously. This brought out to me clearly the thought that desire of a right nature is prayer, for I was desiring this good earnestly, although I seemed in mental darkness; and I feel that God answered my prayer. For this and all other blessings I am very grateful. I am well and happy and rejoicing daily in the truth that saves from every ill.
