I should like to prove my gratitude for the many blessings that I have received through the study of Christian Science. My son was healed of kidney trouble in two weeks. Through the understanding of this wonderful truth which the little fellow had, and the help of a loving Christian Science practitioner, he is now in good health.

I also wish to testify to a demonstration which I made through enlightened faith in God, which came to me through the study of this wonderful Christian Science. I opened a small millinery parlor in my living room, and with very little money. It was three weeks before anybody gave me a call. I did not lose my faith for one minute, knowing that God was my source of supply. I repeated over and over, "The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want." I had in my pocket-book a very small sum with which to pay my living expenses for the rest of the week. I had sent a shipment of hats by parcel post; purchased a small dinner for my boy and myself; and there were only ten cents remaining for breakfast. I repeated the twenty-third psalm, and was sure my supply would meet my need. Just before we retired, a lady came in and looked at my stock of hats, but said she was not quite ready to buy. After she left, my boy and I retired. We had not fallen asleep when some one knocked at the door. Thinking somebody in the house had forgotten his key, my little boy went to the door. A lady who had been in before stood there with several dollars in her hand, asking him to give her a certain hat which she had seen when she was in during the evening. I had been so sure of God's protection that I was not at all surprised; and really wondered if I were as grateful as I should be. My supply is met each day; and my business is growing.

I cannot fully express my gratitude for all I have received through the study and demonstration of Christian Science. I am grateful to God, and to dear Mrs. Eddy, for this wonderful truth; and I only hope to become a better and more faithful Christian Scientist.
