I have long delayed sending my testimony for publication in our periodicals, but now feel impelled to express my deepest thanks, in writing, for this spiritual truth, as revealed by our revered Leader, Mary Baker Eddy. I have depended on Christian Science for healing for a number of years, and among other healings experienced are those of severe nervous sick headaches, and stomach and bowel trouble of years' standing.

I would also mention the healing of a daughter. About nine years ago we were on our way from Oregon to Oklahoma and stopped in California for the summer. Our youngest daughter, then a growing girl, was taken ill, and I asked for Christian Science treatment, but the case did not seem to yield right away and she became seriously ill. Her father, who was not studying Science, wished a physician called to diagnose the case. We did so and after a thorough examination it was pronounced to be Bright's disease in its last stages and a badly affected heart. The verdict was that she could only live from three days to a week. Christian Science treatment was continued, and in about two weeks she was practically healed of this trouble. Later complications set in and it was several weeks before she was healed, but there has never been a return of the disease. I have always been deeply grateful for this healing, as it was a very helpful experience in gaining a better understanding of Christian Science, and not I alone but the nurse who was with me at this time said it was a wonderful help to her in proving God's power over every material law and condition. My heart overflows with thanks to all who have helped me gain an understanding of this truth that makes free.

I am thankful to God and grateful to our dear Leader for all the good that has come to me and my family and to all mankind through Christian Science. I am also thankful for all our literature, Mrs. Eddy's great gift to the world. My sincere desire is to be a true Christian Scientist.
