I would like to express my gratitude for all that Christian Science has done for me and is doing for the world. Several years ago I was compelled to stop work owing to what seemed to be a nervous breakdown or, as the doctor said, neurasthenia. I was taking medicine for this trouble when I heard of Christian Science and as I had lost faith in material medicine and was growing worse each day, I decided to try Christian Science as a last resort, and I can now say that it is the greatest blessing that has ever come into my life. Seventeen days after starting to read the text-book, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy, I discarded my glasses. I was at that time compelled to wear amber colored glasses and did not know that I could be healed by reading a book, but such was the case.

Christian Science has healed me of much after material medicine had been tried for years and found wanting. I have been healed of the need for wearing glasses, of neurasthenia, toothache, neuralgia, and headaches, which resulted in loss of time from work and not only made my life miserable but others in the home also. Sore throats and colds have also been overcome. The smoking habit soon faded away: also the desire for liquor and the use of profane language. The half has not been told, for I had been in a veritable hell for a long time and did not know a way out until I heard of Christian Science. I had prayed to "Our Father which art in heaven" for years, even though spasmodically, to be led in the straight and narrow path, and the answer was, "Christian Science." Jesus said, "If ye continue in my word . . . ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." The truth has made me free, and it will do the same for all mankind because we know that "God is no respecter of persons." Mrs. Eddy has given us that which will save the world,—Christian Science, the pearl of great price.

I am indeed thankful to God, and grateful that such a woman as Mrs. Eddy lived in this age, who was so true to her charge that she has given us the greatest blessing that man has ever received in any age since Jesus the Christ taught these same truths to our brothers and sisters of yesterday on the shores of Galilee and in the valleys of Judea.
