I feel very grateful to God for the many proofs of His love which have been given to me through Christian Science; and with a heart overflowing with gratitude I testify to the many healings I have received through the study and application of the truth. In the past two years my actual experience has convinced me that Christian Science can solve our every problem, be it mental, moral, or physical. All my problems are being successfully worked out, as a result of faithful study of the Bible and "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy. From my first acquaintance with Christian Science, it has been my only physician; and it has overcome every discordant condition, not only with myself, but my family. I soon saw that to understand and live this Science one must do more than overcome a physical ailment by knowing the truth. The spiritual uplift is a priceless gift, compared with which physical healing is insignificant. The Bible is loved and studied as never before; and I know of nothing so dear to me as the spiritual food with which I am daily fed and sustained.

I have had many instantaneous healings of minor ills. On one occasion I was taken with a most excruciating pain in my right shoulder, apparently due to rheumatism. At first, I thought I could demonstrate over it myself; but it seemed so very severe that I was unable to use my arm without a great deal of pain. I called for Christian Science help; and the demonstration was wonderful to me. It was not long before I could use my arm; and all pain disappeared. I have also been healed of hay fever and stomach trouble, although they were stubborn to overcome.

Words cannot express my gratitude for the great blessings that have come into my life. My greatest desire is to live that my light may shine, and that others, seeing my good works, may glorify our Father in heaven—according to Jesus' command.
