A deep sense of gratitude prompts me to tell a few of the blessings which have come to me through Christian Science. After the birth of my baby I had lain in bed for some weeks and was unable to raise myself up. Having been told by my doctor that he could do no more for me, a dear sister asked me to try Christian Science treatment. I consented, received help immediately, and in a few days was able to sit up, and soon regained strength. At the end of the third week I was able to do all my own work. We have since had many instances of healing in our family and many proofs of God's care. My youngest son was healed of a severe cough of some years' standing, and my eldest son was healed of severe burns, the result of an explosion.

I had the privilege of attending the dedication of the extension of The Mother Church, and of being one of the many to see and hear our dear Leader, Mrs. Eddy, at Concord, New Hampshire, in 1903, and to hear the words from her lips, "In parting I repeat to these dear members of my church: Trust in Truth, and have no other trusts" (Miscellany, p. 171). I have had many proofs of the efficacy of trusting God absolutely. I am thankful for the Christian Science Sentinel, the gift of our Leader, for through its pages many receive encouragement from those who have proved that God is an ever present help. I trust that I may grow more in the knowledge of Truth and prove to be worthy of the name Christian Scientist. I am deeply grateful to God and to all who have labored for our cause.
