It is with a heart full of joy, love, and gratitude for benefits received through Christian Science, that I testify to this living truth. It was brought to me in time of great need, when it was proved that "man's extremity is God's opportunity." I had been in bondage for years and had tried many material remedies with only temporary relief, and was growing worse. The doctor finally gave up the case, and it was at this point that Christian Science was asked for, treatment was indeed lovingly given, and resulted in my rising from my bed the next day a well woman and able to attend to my duties, which I have done ever since. This was almost six years ago. The study of Christian Science was begun in earnest; every moment that could be spared was given to reading "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mrs. Eddy, then the reading of the Lesson-Sermons was begun, and through almost constant study and striving to know more of this blessed truth, for it was what I had been seeking and longing for, my heart was filled with gladness as it unfolded to my thought. It freed me from bodily ills, and I was, in some measure, able to help others as well, and I now know that the truth is ever operating in accordance with the law of God, which changeth not.

I have learned that we are not brought into Science to gain ease to material sense, nor to look for faulfinding or shortcomings, but so to manifest and reflect Truth and Love as to lose sight of every material seeming and to attain to the heaven bestowed harmony and liberty that belong to the children of God. I have been healed of stomach trouble and lifelong nervous headaches, which were supposedly inherited, the grip, neuralgia, and many other ills too numerous to name. I sometimes wonder if I can ever be grateful enough for what Christian Science has done for me and mine. I cannot express what it means to me and what I feel for our Leader, who stood with Principle for the redemption of all mankind. On page 242 of Science and Health she says, "In patient obedience to a patient God, let us labor to dissolve with the universal solvent of Love the adamant of error,—self-will, self-justification, and self-love,—which wars against spirituality and is the law of sin and death."
