It is with gratitude I give this testimony with the hope of helping some one along the road from error to Truth. When Christian Science was presented to me some six years ago, I was very much discouraged as my health was failing rapidly. My physician gave me no encouragement, not knowing what the trouble was. After seeking help through chiropractic and osteopathic treatments and not receiving any benefit therefrom, I turned to God to direct me to some means to health and at this stage of discouragement Christian Science found me. My mother years ago had taught me to beware of false prophets, and she thought Christian Science was a false teaching, but when a kind neighbor offered me "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mrs. Eddy, I accepted the opportunity, and in reading this book the first day I received a healing of inaction of the bowels of seven years' standing. The third day I laid off my glasses which I had been wearing for astigmatism. These healings were a great revelation to me, they gave me faith and a desire to know more, and I have studied and worked along with the aid of practitioners.

I am very grateful for a little understanding of God and man as taught in Christian Science. I have received many healings, such as the overcoming of chills and fever, which I had had ever since a child, also sick headaches, poison oak, grippe, and tonsillitis. I had an instantaneous healing of an injury to the eye, which was apparently very serious, also of the effects of a severe fall. I am most grateful for a healing of the seeming reality of evil suggestion. In all of my study up to a little over a year ago these suggestions seemed overwhelming. I have always had a strong sense of what I thought was right, and if my fellow beings did not come up to this standard of my judgment of what was right, pure, and honest, I was ready to criticize and condemn. I am very thankful to God that I had an occasion to be shown that this was error, and with the help of God it has been overcome.

Words cannot express the gratitude I have for this healing and for the many physical healings I have had. I am very grateful for Christian Science and for what it is doing for mankind.—(Mrs.) Martha Horn, Portland, Ore.
