It is now seven years since I took up the study of Christian Science; and as I read the many helpful and uplifting testimonies in the periodicals and enjoy them so much, I feel that I too should try to show my appreciation and express my gratitude in this way, hoping that in so doing I may be able to encourage and help some one.

I am so thankful to the faithful practitioners, as well as to our Leader. Most of all, I give thanks to God for this wonderful revelation of Truth to this age.

My desire is to grow, and daily to learn more of this great truth, that I may be able to help others. The words of that wonderful poem by our Leader express my desire (Poems, p. 13):—
