I first heard of Christian Science a great many years ago. I saw it was the truth and accepted it at once. I did not come into Christian Science for the physical healing, although there have been many times during the years since then when I have been glad that I knew of Christian Science to help me out of some physical discords, as all my life I had resorted to medicine to heal me. It had been my habit, when planning for a long journey, to arrange about twenty little bottles of pellets in a leather case made for the purpose. These remedies were supposed to heal different ailments, to which I was subject, such as liver trouble, rheumatism, and kindred troubles. I did not know it then, but I realize now that these innocent little pellets were my god; for since studying Christian Science I have not relied upon material medicine, and have enjoyed very good health.

While playing tennis a few years ago, I tore a ligament in one of my legs. It happened while I was visiting in a doctor's family and they predicted many difficulties for me. I wore an elastic stocking for some time as a support and it had been predicted for me that I would have to wear the stocking for the rest of my life. But one day it came to me quite clearly that my real support is God. So I removed the stocking and have not worn it since. After I removed the elastic stocking the permanent healing came. That was many months ago. It goes without saying that I as sincerely grateful for these blessings, but the greatest joy of all is in being able to impart to others what has helped and blessed me.—(Mrs.) Mary Elizabeth Ayers, Boston, Massachusetts.
