I should like to express my deep gratitude for Christian Science, and for the wonderful healing I have experienced.

In January of this year, after having taught a year in a school in a foreign country, I suddenly broke down because of a nervous collapse. At first I suffered from sleeplessness, and was unable to fulfill my duties during the day. I struggled against this, but the condition became rapidly worse. I was haunted by a terrible fear of becoming insane, as I could no longer think clearly. In this disturbed condition I had to be brought home. There I remained for three months, and was in such a mental state that I no longer recognized my dear parents, and doubted continually whether I was really at home. I suffered dreadfully, did not want to take any more food, and thought my end was very near. This was surely the darkest hour of my life. But the omnipresent love of God is greater than all our distresses. Thanks to the kind help of a practitioner, and my mother's unswerving faith in the healing power of Truth, fear was mastered, and the healing came suddenly. I awoke one morning absolutely clear and free, and knew I was at home. A deep sense of gratitude came over me—I was healed!

Words cannot express the joy and gratitude I feel for this wonderful message of healing which Christian Science has revealed to us. I only hope this testimony may encourage some one to persevere in that way which leads out of the darkness of human suffering into the radiant light of divine harmony.
