I feel I ought to write a testimony of healing in gratitude to God for all that Christian Science has done and is doing for me, both mentally and physically. It is impossible to tell of all the benefits received since taking up Christian Science over seven years ago. I am so grateful for the physical healings, but much more so for the spiritual uplifting. Christian Science enables me to see my neighbor as the image of God, and this has helped me to overcome resentment to a great extent.

Some of my healings have been instantaneous, while some have taken a longer time, and so I wish to say to those struggling with some seemingly difficult problem, Do not be discouraged. Mrs. Eddy says in "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" (p. 410): "Every trial of our faith in God makes us stronger. The more difficult seems the material condition to be overcome by Spirit, the stronger should be our faith and the purer our love." In Christian Science we learn that one disease is no more real than another and so not any more difficult to cure. I have been healed of influenza, constipation, nervousness, insomnia, liver complaint, burns, dislocated spinal vertebræ, and of many other discordant conditions. I wish to express my gratitude to Mrs. Eddy, who so unselfishly spent her life to bless mankind; also for our literature and to the practitioners who have so lovingly helped me over rough places.
