It would be impossible for me to tell of all the blessings...

M. Pfister-Matthey-Doret

It would be impossible for me to tell of all the blessings which I have received through Christian Science. Each day brings a new demonstration of the divine ever presence, and human language has no words with which to express the gratitude I feel.

Through the study of the Bible and of "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy, I am learning to know God as Life, Truth, and Love, and to understand the reality of being, which has freed me of many errors of human belief concerning age and infirmities. New energy sprang up in me, my heart has been strengthened, my sight has become normal again, and I can perform my duties without wearing glasses. Memory, which was constantly failing me, the failure of which I had accepted as inevitable on account of the belief of advanced age, has been restored, making it possible for me to study English in order to understand those of Mrs. Eddy's writings which are not yet translated. My daily duties, business transactions, and study,—everything, in fact, is so easily accomplished that I do twice as much work, always with joy, and with less fatigue than before. I am convinced that through an earnest and constant study and application of Christian Science we attain to a large degree of spiritual understanding. We know that through this understanding we gain the victory over all errors, however subtle, which try to separate us from divine Principle. Each forward step brings us nearer the divine and inexhaustible source of love,—God.

Another wonderful demonstration,—extraordinary from the huamn standpoint,—has been witnessed by us lately. My daughter was expecting a baby, and during the months of waiting we continually held to the truth. Thus everything went well until the day of the birth. Then error suddenly tried to make itself seem real in the form of an extremely discordant condition and the life of the mother as well as of the child was in danger. The midwife who was called said: "It is very dangerous and I can do nothing without a specialist. I must telephone for one to come at once." The doctor arrived, diagnosed the case as very serious, and said that my daughter would probably have to be taken to the hospital that evening. As fear seemed to be governing us, we immediately called a faithful friend and practitioner to help us. She did so with untiring love, and remained with us.
