It is with a heart full of gratitude for what Christian Science has done for me that I send this testimony. When I first took up the study, seven years ago, I did not progress in understanding very fast; but I had read, "God is no respecter of persons," so I knew that what God would do for one He would do for another, if obedient to His law. I kept on studying earnestly and persistently, and putting into practice the understanding I had gained; so that now I am enabled to help in most of the demonstrations for my family and myself, as well as to help others; and can rejoice over the fruit of my work.

Before taking up the study of Christian Science I had taken medicine for a number of years daily for chronic constipation and bilious headaches; but when I began to attend a Christian Science church, and had read some of the Sentinels, I gave up all medicine. I had one treatment for an attack of severe headache, and after that these attacks became less severe and less frequent, until they disappeared altogether. After I had studied for about two years, as the constipation was not entirely overcome, I asked for the help of a practitioner, which was very lovingly given for three weeks. There was very little improvement, but I realized that God's work was done, and that the practitioner had lovingly and patiently done her work too; that it was left for me to continue to do my part. I dismissed the practitioner; and by doing my work in Science the trouble was gradually overcome.
