Constant reminders of my abundant blessings, and of the bondage of ill health and wrong thinking that have yielded to the liberty of even a partial understanding of the unlimited truth as taught and lived by our revered Leader, Mary Baker Eddy, impels me to express gratitude for my healing, which will be indeed a small portion of my debt to divine Love for the knowledge of my true birthright.
There is only one way in which to express one's gratitude for the glorious truth which is explained in Christian Science, and that is by making one's life a testimony to it, and by obedience to its rules; in other words, keeping the First Commandment.
I have often longed to tell the whole world of my healing in Christian Science and of my deep gratitude to God and to all who are living this practical truth.
I enjoy reading the testimonies in our periodicals, and have received so much help from them that I feel it is my duty to tell what Christian Science has done for me.
With heartfelt gratitude to God I desire to give testimony to the great blessings which I have received through Christian Science, hoping that it may result in healing to others.
