With gratitude for the blessings of Christian Science I give my testimony. Following a cold, I had articular rheumatism, and for several winters was obliged to remain in bed for three months. In my need our attention was called to Christian Science by a dear friend, and my mother requested a practitioner's help. Loving work was done for me, and after two months' treatment I was healed. This was several years ago and the trouble has not returned. Later inflammation of the eye was manifested. As I was entitled to an allowance from a sick benefit fund I had to go to a physician, who opened the lachrymal duct, but there was no permanent improvement. I now requested a practitioner's help, and the eye was healed in two treatments. Then I became ill with tympanitis and was again obliged to go to the sick benefit doctor. My ear did not improve, but became worse. Then man's extremity proved to be God's opportunity. I read the Bible and became more and more absorbed in Der Herold and other Christian Science literature. Truth was victor; the error vanished.

Christian Science not only helps us to overcome bodily ailments, but strengthens us spiritually. Words are inadequate to express my gratitude; I shall endeavor to prove it through deeds. God knows how grateful I am for the blessings. With reverence I think of our Leader, who worked with self-sacrificing love to make her discovery intelligible to her fellow men.—(Miss) Elise Lux, Berlin, Germany.
