After having experienced many blessings through Christian Science, I feel that I would indeed be ungrateful to God and to our beloved Leader, Mary Baker Eddy, if I longer withheld from publication a written acknowledgment of the blessings and benefits received, and would also fail to fulfill in part the ultimate purpose for which the Discoverer of Christian Science established the periodicals. Having been healed in a very few treatments of chronic catarrh of the bowels and also of goiter, I at once became vitally interested in Christian Science, and my desire to know and understand this great truth grew as the years passed and has become the absorbing interest and work of my life. I am deeply grateful to the practitioner whose loving ministrations at that time aided in lifting from me not only a sense of sickness and despair but a load of business cares and a sense of lack of supply.

My husband has also experienced many benefits from the study of Christian Science, and through the help of a practitioner has resumed work after a long period of discouragement and incapacity. I am enjoying membership in a local Christian Science society, and am grateful for the united and harmonious work being done here. I am also privileged to be a member of The Mother Church, and I am grateful for class instruction. I have demonstrated conclusively the following declarations of Mrs. Eddy's: "The vital part, the heart and soul of Christian Science, is Love" (Science and Health, p. 113); "Universal Love is the divine way in Christian Science" (Science and Health, p. 266); and that absolutely and emphatically "Love is the liberator" (p. 225). My gratitude is without bounds for the true idea of good which I have come to know and with which I am able to help others, as the result of reading and studying all of Mrs. Eddy's works and the Christian Science periodicals, which are always filled with vital messages of love for those beginners who are hungry and thirsty for words of encouragement to go forward, and replete with good for the advanced student of Christian Science and for the practitioner.
