I have long wished to express my gratitude through the Sentinel, for all that Christian Science has done for me and those dear to me. It was nine years last December that Christian Science found me, and began the work of regeneration in my consciousness. It came to me in such a glorious way, lifting me from the saddest phase of mortal existence, when life, so called, had become unbearable. As I look back upon it I still wonder at the power of Truth to work such a miracle.

I and those of my household know that the healing at that time was practically the resurrection of the dead. During the nine years that have passed, there have been many stones to remove from my path, yet I can truthfully say I am glad that the stones were there, for in their removal I learned many precious lessons. I am so grateful for all my physical healings. Headaches, from which I suffered twenty-three years, were healed, and there has not been the slightest return. This was my first healing in Christian Science. I have also been healed of chronic tonsillitis, varicose veins in an aggravated form, blood poisoning, toothaches, burns, and many other ills too numerous to mention. That for which I am most grateful, however, is a better understanding of God, for this is the keynote to harmony in every life. A better understanding of God as Life, Truth, and Love, begins at once a reform in thought, that continues until we become perfect, even as the Father in heaven is perfect.

I am grateful beyond words to our Father-Mother God, to the Way-shower, Christ Jesus, to the Discoverer and Founder of Christian Science, Mary Baker Eddy, to the dear practitioner who has so kindly helped me over so many dark places, and to the one who helped me to obtain my first healing in Christian Science.
