With a heart filled with gratitude, I give the following testimony of healing through the ministration of Christian Science. Because of my limited understanding of divine Principle, Truth, Love, the Father of all, the knowledge of which makes free and solves all life's problems aright, I paid the price in intense bodily suffering. Help was sought from a Christian Science practitioner, who gave me absent treatment; and I was quickly relieved. Mortal sense, however, was not entirely subdued; and the trouble returned in a more alarming form. An operation was thought necessary by friends who were not Scientists, but I met the thought with a strong denial. Then came the testing time, the struggle between Truth and error. To continue my work seemed impossible; and the relinquishing of all interest, and severing my relation with those whom I had worked with and for was a hard problem. Divine guidance was asked for, believing I would be led aright; and then I yielded my will to the will of God, who knoweth all our needs before we ask Him. Very clearly I saw I must give up all material striving and seek Truth, which heals both mind and body, and destroys all sense of evil. When morning came, I received a message from my sister, saying, "Come, right away." This gave me new inspiration; and I soon found myself in an ideal home, where love, harmony, and joy reigned supreme. In this healing atmosphere, and with the help of a loving practitioner, I was soon restored to health.

Words fail me in the attempt to express my gratitude for this wonderful healing, and for the many blessings that have come into my life through Christian Science. It certainly has been proved to me that divine Love meets all our needs when we are open and receptive to the truth.
