But that there is a true God who gives to all mankind a knowledge of Himself and His law, which knowledge heals sickness as well as sin, was proved to me by the study of Christian Science. Christ Jesus said, "Ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free;" and it has made me very free indeed.
