It is now over four years since I began the study of Christian Science; and with a family of five I have had many proofs of its health-giving power. I did not start the study for myself, but to help another, who had suffered from nerve trouble for years, and who, I am grateful to say, is now healthy and happy. He has gained over fifty pounds in weight, and the healing has completely revolutionized his life.

As for myself, I too found I required healing of many falsities. Before starting the study of Christian Science I found myself doubting and wondering if there was a God. Words cannot express the great joy which came into my life when I found, after reading a few pages of The Christian Science Journal, that God is Love, Life, intelligence, good, and that sin, ills, and discord are not of God. Only those who have studied Christian Science will realize how the horizon brightened; and I am happy to say the eternal truth gave me the necessary start, and has been all I needed to solve my many problems. Since beginning the study of Christian Science I have never worn glasses. I have also laid aside arch supports and experienced other healings in my feet—but not before relying solely on Truth.

The children are very receptive to Christian Science, and never ask for any other healing method. We just sit down and read that wonderful chapter on Prayer in "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures"—that beautiful opening chapter, which, if read in the same spirit in which the author, Mrs. Eddy, wrote it, always brings the desired result of health and harmony. I find it a great help to spend a while each day singing the hymns in our Hymnal, "Shepherd, show me how to go," the words of which were written by our Leader, being a favorite with the children. The Lesson-Sermon is also a great daily help.
