Nicholas I. Johnson

With heart filled with gratitude for what Christian Science has done, and is doing, for me every day, I give this testimony, hoping it may help others, as many that I have read have helped me.

In the month of August, 1919, my eldest daughter, who had been interested in Christian Science for nearly a year, engaged a practitioner for her mother, who was to undergo a serious operation, as the doctor said nothing could be done for her. By absent treatment in Christian Science her mother was healed. Thus the seed was sown in our home.

At another time, my daughter had borrowed the textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy, for a neighbor, who finally decided not to read it. Seeing it on the library table, I unconsciously reached for it; and it was to me as the angel which came to Jacob. Like Jacob I was surprised at the light which dawned upon me. At the end of two weeks, when the book was to be returned, I found I could not part with it. I began in earnest to read it and live it; and the understanding that I derived from the study leaves me without proper words to express the gratitude and blessings which I have received.
