I wish to express my gratitude for what Christian Science...
I wish to express my gratitude for what Christian Science has done for me and for what it is doing day by day. About five years ago I was healed instantaneously, through the kind help of a Christian Science practitioner, of a longstanding organic trouble which physicians had pronounced chronic. Several doctors had treated me and had made every effort to restore health, but without avail. I had had electric treatments and had taken sea voyages and resorted to change of climate advised by physicians, but without results. I was not a little surprised, therefore, when I was healed through Christian Science in one treatment. Not having the slightest idea how this wonderful work had been accomplished, I wanted to know more about Christian Science. When I thanked the practitioner for her splendid work she replied, "Do not thank me, for God has healed you." Then, of course, I had a desire to learn to know who or what God is and how He heals, and I immediately took up the study of Christian Science.
The more I study it the more I rejoice and daily give thanks unto God, divine Love, for having led me to the truth. Jesus the Christ said, "I can of mine own self do nothing;" also, "It is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom." I am indeed grateful for a glimpse of the kingdom, for the spiritual awakening, and for a right concept of God and His creation. I am grateful for having found the religion which teaches us how to pray aright and to demonstrate the truth,—a religion of Love. Through the application of Christian Science I have received a great many blessings. I have been able to overcome grief, knowing that there is no separation in Mind. I have learned how to overcome loneliness, impatience, and resentment. My sister and I were wonderfully protected in the midst of a terrible conflagration by putting into practice the little understanding we have gained of Christian Science. I realize more and more each day that the faith I thought I had in God before I came into Christian Science was nothing but a blind belief, for the apostle James tells us that "faith without works is dead." The Bible was a closed book to me until "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mrs. Eddy revealed its truths to me.
For several years I have been traveling with my husband, and while years ago I used to take all kinds of material remedies with me, I now have only the Bible and Science and Health, for God is my only Physician. I know that God is a very present help in trouble. I am also most grateful for our periodicals, which are a great help to me. I am grateful to Christ Jesus the Way-shower, and to our dear Leader, Mary Baker Eddy, who has so unselfishly revealed this wonderful truth to the whole world.—(Mrs.) MATILDA GOTTHELF LEVY, Jacksonville, Florida.
I, also, rejoice in testifying to the many blessings which have come to me through Christian Science. When Christian Science found me I was not able to walk, either in the street or in the house, without a cane for support, and my mother and sister had to lift me into bed when I retired. Through the application of Christian Science I have learned that man in God's image and likeness expresses perfection and health and needs no other support than God, who is the only power. I can now walk without any material support and do not need any human help, for Jesus said when referring to the Christ, "Lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world."
I also wish to express my gratitude for our periodicals, the gifts of our dear Leader, Mary Baker Eddy, which carry a healing message to the whole world. I am very thankful to God and grateful to Mrs. Eddy. My daily prayer is to have more of that Mind "which was also in Christ Jesus."
(Miss) PAULA GOTTHELF.
