It is with a heart full of thankfulness to God and of gratitude to Mrs. Eddy that I give this testimony, hoping thereby to cheer some one who is hungering and thirsting after righteousness. When Christian Science was brought to my notice more than six years ago, I was, according to the verdict of the doctors, a hopeless invalid, and the God whom I had worshiped and obeyed from early childhood to the best of my understanding, seemed far away. For many months I could neither read the Bible nor pray. My physical suffering seemed to myself and my friends pitiful and severe. For more than twenty-five years I had suffered from stomach trouble with numerous complications, all of which yielded to treatment in Christian Science; the healing was quick and perfect. I was healed of sleeplessness through the study of the Lesson-Sermon which has for its subject: "Are Sin, Disease, and Death Real?"

With joy for some understanding of the truth which Jesus said would make men free, I exclaim with the psalmist: "Many, O Lord my God, are thy wonderful works which thou hast done, and thy thoughts which are to usward: they cannot be reckoned up in order unto thee: if I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be numbered." For the physical harmony my gratitude is genuine; but words are inadequate to express my joy for the spiritual freedom, an assured certainty that God is an ever present help in times of need. Every day brings opportunity to prove the truth of the words of our Way-shower, "Lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world." My desire is the same as that of every earnest and honest student of this beautiful, new-old religion, and that is to prove my words by the demonstration of purity of thought, Christian love, and honesty of purpose.
