With thankfulness to God from whom all good comes...

J. C. Crain

With thankfulness to God from whom all good comes, and gratitude to Mary Baker Eddy for revealing Christian Science to this age, a religion whose teaching is practical and can be used in our everyday problems, I give this testimony of the many benefits received from this wonderful teaching. When I first became interested in Christian Science, and while reading the textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mrs. Eddy, for the first few times, I was cured of the tobacco, gambling, and swearing habits of many years' standing. An attack of influenza was overcome in a few days through the application of what I understood of Christian Science, and chronic nervous indigestion of several years' standing was cured with help from a practitioner.

While I am thankful to be rid of these bad habits and diseases, I consider the understanding of God and man's relation to Him a far greater blessing. Before becoming interested in Christian Science I never allowed my thought to dwell much on God or the subject of religion. Not that I did not believe there was a God, but I thought He was far removed from our daily affairs, and any knowledge I ever hoped to gain of Him would probably be in the hereafter. I am thankful to say that through the teaching of Christian Science my thought has been cleared to a great extent on the subject of religion and it has given me an understanding of God that I can apply to my everyday problems.

Not only am I grateful for what Christian Science has done and is doing for me, but I am grateful for what it is doing for the whole world. I am grateful for all the periodicals, including the Monitor, and that all who wish may avail themselves of these guides to the truth which does indeed make free.—J. C. Crain, Gerlach, Nevada.
