Like many others I came into Christian Science through a longing for something more satisfying and practical than I had been able to find in a denominational church. There was no thought of physical healing in my first effort to understand and apply the teachings of Christian Science, and there was a great joy and gladness in my heart when I knew I had found a religion which was applicable not only to the great problems but to the most trivial things in the daily routine. As time passed I found that many physical discords, some the result of childhood sickness and of a surgical operation and others supposed to be inherited, gradually lessened and finally disappeared. I was not only happier and healthier in mind and body but a decidedly marked improvement in my appearance became evident to all and I was more active.

I have seen and experienced many proofs of the healing power of Christian Science. Colds, coughs, measles, whooping cough, influenza, fevers, burns, and sprains have all been healed. Business difficulties have been solved and sorrow and anxiety overcome through this wonderful truth as given to the world, in practical, demonstrable form, by Mary Baker Eddy, Discoverer and Founder of Christian Science, who on page 4 of her Message to The Mother Church for 1902 says, "I again repeat, Follow your Leader, only so far as she follows Christ" and on page 15 of "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," "The Master's injunction is, that we pray in secret and let our lives attest our sincerity."—(Mrs.) Blanche M. Colley, Cambridge, Massachusetts.

I very gladly add my expression of gratitude to that of my wife. We both have been healed and benefited in innumerable ways through the study and practice of Christian Science. I can testify not only to the healing in our own experience, but to splendid, indisputable results which I have witnessed in the lives of others.—W. A. Colley.
