In tendering this testimony of gratitude, I do so fully comprehending how futile any effort of mine may be to choose words that are sufficiently adequate to offer the thanks due to our revered Leader, Mary Baker Eddy, for the discovery of Christian Science. Every problem that has confronted me has been fully solved through the understanding of this Science.

In the course of a conversation with a practitioner, the subject of smoking was discussed. In asking for help, little did I dream that within forty-eight hours the taste of a cigar would be nauseous to me, who had been such an inveterate smoker. For the next few days, however, I did use cigarettes; but they became equally as disgusting.

The value of the training my children are gaining in the Christian Science Sunday School cannot be measured in dollars and cents. While I was reading "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy at home one day, my youngster, a boy of seven, jumped on my knee. I then read aloud to him. I had read but a sentence or two when he interrupted me. Referring to a member of the family who took medicine continually, he remarked, "Look at—,he is spending all his money on medicine, and the funny part of it is, he thinks it will cure his mind." With such pearls dropping from the lips of an infant, can one wonder why I feel that no word fully expresses my gratitude?
