Our friend will agree that in obedience to his command the result of an understanding of the teachings of the Master should be seen, not only in the preaching of the gospel, but also in the healing of the sick and the casting out of devils.
"WHEN understanding changes the standpoints of life and intelligence from a material to a spiritual basis, we shall gain the reality of Life, the control of Soul over sense, and we shall perceive Christianity, or Truth, in its divine Principle.

It was just six years ago that Christian Science was first brought to my notice by a friend, who sent me the textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy.
I wish to add my testimony to those of many others, to tell of the healing of inharmonious conditions through the application of Christian Science, and to express my gratitude therefor to Mary Baker Eddy, the Discoverer and Founder of this Science, to Christ Jesus, the Way-shower, and to the Father-Mother God.
Overflowing with gratitude and thankfulness to God for His loving-kindness and the blessings bestowed upon me, I should like to tell what Christian Science, whose wonderful truth can be applied at all times and in all ways, has done for me.
I wish to express my gratitude for some of the blessings Christian Science has brought to our home since I became interested in this great truth ten years ago.
That God is "a very present help in trouble," and that Christian Science does heal when faithfully applied, I have positively proved; and I am indeed grateful for the loving care of our Father-Mother God.
Articles from members of The Mother Church and good testimonies from those healed by Christian Science are always welcomed for consideration by the Editors.
