In
the remarkable colloquy between Jesus and Nicodemus, detailed in the third chapter of John's gospel, the Master goes to the very heart of the problem of being and draws with unerring accuracy the line of demarcation between the real—the spiritual—creation and the fictitious claim of a universe evolving on an unspiritual basis.
Paul

A deep sense of gratitude impels me to express, through the periodicals what I have been privileged to experience through Christian Science.

In testifying to the benefits which I have experienced through Christian Science, which has taught me the operation of divine law,—that everything that is is the direct effect of the law of God, the law of good, the one basic law which governs the entire universe,—I find that to enumerate them would be almost an impossibility.
Christian Science has done so much for me during the two years I have studied it that I feel I must tell others what it has done.
It is with a deep sense of gratitude that I give this testimony.
My debt to Christian Science is growing daily, for it is constantly bringing more and more joy into my life, and is giving to me a peace of mind which I had never previously experienced.
I am very thankful to God for Christian Science and for what it has done for me.
Christian Science means everything to me.
After receiving, for over ten years, the benefits which Christian Science bestows, I feel it a duty as well as a privilege to testify to divine Love's healing and saving power.
It is with a heart full of gratitude for Christian Science that I am sending my testimony to the Sentinel.
I am writing this testimony with the hope that it will bring joy and gladness to many seekers for the truth who are still groping in the dark as I was at one time.
