I sometimes wonder if we are expressing enough thankfulness to God, to Mrs. Eddy, the Discoverer and Founder of Christian Science, and to all those who lovingly help us out of our blind beliefs and bring us to the realization that man is made in God's image and likeness, when we withhold from the world a testimony of gratitude.

After being a semi-invalid for many years, suffering with what is termed glandular tuberculosis, I was induced to try Christian Science. Being worn out and throughly discouraged with having to undergo one operation another, I finally consented to go to a practitioner for help, and notwithstanding the fact that I had been told there was no cure for me except to have these glands removed, I was healed in one week. This blessing came to me sixteen years ago and I have never had a return of the trouble, and am now in perfect health, due entirely to the understanding and application of Christian Science. This was my first experience in the healing power of Christian Science. During the following years of study and application of its teachings I have received many more blessings, physical, mental, and financial.

I hope that this testimony of gratitude will help some one who is struggling under a belief of dis-ease, to come into the true state of health and harmony as I have done. Mrs. Eddy tells us on page 79 of Science and Health that "giving does not impoverish us in the service of our Maker, neither does withholding enrich us." Knowing this, I wonder how I could have been so many years in expressing my gratitude for what Christian Science has done for me.
