On first hearing of Christian Science I scoffed, as did many others; but after seeing the effect of its teaching and practice, I became very curious to know about it, procured at once a copy of "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mrs.
I should like to express my gratitude for the many blessings that have come to me through the study and application of the teachings of Christian Science.
I am sending my testimony in the hope that it will benefit some one, since it was the truth as revealed in Christian Science that saved and healed me; for the Word of God does heal us of all our diseases and discords, and helps us to solve our daily problems.
