It
has often been said by some who have been in Christian Science a little while, "If I could only be in company with some real good Christian Scientists, how much more easily I could work out my salvation!" Neither you nor I, however, can ever get away from the fact that we have our own salvation to work out "with fear and trembling," as Paul says.

I have had many benefits and cases of healing through the understanding and application of the truth, as found in "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy, the Discoverer and Founder of Christian Science.
I should like to tell of the many physical healings that the members of my family have experienced in Christian Science, but at this time will confine myself to one or two.
It is with sincere gratitude for the many blessings that Christian Science has brought to me, that this testimony is given, hoping that it may reach some one who is needing help as much as I did nearly eight years ago.
