For some time I have wanted to send in a testimony to what Christian Science has done for me, and to express, through the Christian Science Sentinel, my gratitude for the wonderful blessing which the truth as found in the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy, has brought into my experience.

When I took up the study of Christian Science, about six years ago, it was not for physical healing, but rather that I might recommend it to some one very near and dear who seemed much in need of something radically different from the medical practice and theology of the times. I was much in need of physical healing myself, however, for I was a nervous wreck, relying largely upon will power. As a teacher in the public schools I had taken up the study of psychology as well as some of the so-called mental theories of the day. That these theories are founded upon a material basis I soon learned through the study of the Christian Science textbook.

I was suffering from rheumatism, chronic bronchitis, constipation, liver and bladder trouble, as well as from indigestion, when I turned to Christian Science. As I read and reread this wonderful book, Science and Health, there dawned upon me the certainty that therein was set forth the truth, and I rejoiced that I had found it. Discouraging and disheartening beliefs about God and man gave way to the truth as exemplified in the life of Christ Jesus. All the physical troubles disappeared and with them went the need for glasses. I am now a well, strong woman. The healing was slow but for this I am indeed grateful, for with it came understanding.
