Having received much good from the testimonies given by those who have been healed through Christian Science, I consider it not only a privilege but a duty to give my testimony that others may be benefited thereby. It was some years ago, while in the eastern part of the United States, that I attended a Christian Science meeting for the first time, and although not in search of physical help I was in search of a true understanding of God, as I had always had a deep desire to know the truth that makes free, but had been unable to gain a knowledge upon which I could rely for an answer to my questions, or to meet my needs.

I was very much impressed with the way this meeting was conducted; there was such a manifestation of love, and the testimonies of healing that were given were a great surprise to me, for until that time I did not know that the healing power of Christ was in operation to-day as it was nineteen hundred years ago. I had often wondered why this power had been lost, when reading of the many miracles that had been performed,—of the dead raised to life, sight restored to the the lame made to walk, and all manner of sickness healed, and how this protecting power had saved Daniel from the lions, and the three Hebrew boys from the fiery furnace; and many other wonderful proofs of the sustaining power of Truth as recorded in the Scriptures.

Upon leaving this meeting I was satisfied I had found what I had been in search of for years. I obtained a copy of "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy, and to my great surprise, through reading it found myself healed of rheumatism and also of the need for wearing glasses, which I had worn for several years. To me this was proof of the healing power of Christian Science and brought to my thought the imperative command of our Master when he said: "Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give." Also his words: "If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; and ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free."
