It is with a heart overflowing with love and gratitude that I send the following testimony. Jesus said, "If ye continue in my word ... ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." It is about four years since I began to learn of this blessed truth which has indeed made me free from so many things. I had taken medicine almost continually for two years and the doctors had told me I must continue taking it. I had also been having treatments from a specialist, who said the bones of my nose were diseased, and the condition serious. The fear was very great indeed. It was while I was in this disturbed condition that I was asked if I would like to try Christian Science. I replied that I knew nothing at all about Christian Science, but was willing to try anything that would help me. I never shall forget my first few visits to the practitioner. The whole world seemed changed. I caught a glimpse of "a new heaven and a new earth." Oh, how uplifted my thought was. I found I was hungry for the truth and could not seem to get enough of it. Fear soon disappeared, my nose was healed, and I was a new creature. The spiritual uplift was so great that without any effort of his own my husband was entirely healed of smoking.

We had a boy six years old who had from the time of birth worn a truss for a rupture. He was never without the truss excepting while in bed. I told the practitioner about him and he said, "To-morrow I will work for the little fellow." I said to him, "I wonder if I will know when to leave the truss off." He told me that divine Love would remove the truss. The next day the boy dressed himself and was going out when he said, "Oh, mamma, I forgot to put on my truss." I knew at once that he needed it no more, so I told him to run on out, and to thank God for the healing. He has not needed it since and that is almost four years ago. He is strong and healthy, and there has not been any sign of the former weakness.

I want to mention the wonderful demonstration I had of the power of Truth when our baby girl came the year after I began to study Christian Science. For all these blessings and others too numerous to mention I am indeed very grateful.
