many persons the suggestion may have come that they once possessed an abundance of good, or attained a high degree of spiritual thinking and living, but that through some untoward circumstances these have been lost.
A student
of Christian Science was greatly benefited by pondering the spiritual meaning of the word "fasting," as used in the account of Jesus' healing of the child possessed of a "dumb spirit.

Conrad Bernhard, Jr., Committee on Publication for the State of Maryland,
In a biographical sketch of a doctor, which appeared in a recent issue of the Afro-American, it was stated that in his practice he included faith-healing, Christian Science, spiritualism, and the ministration of drugs.
Thomas C. Hollingshead, Committee on Publication for the State of Idaho,
The remarks of the author of "To-day" on the subject of "faith cure" in a recent issue of your paper clearly show that he had in mind faith in human power to heal disease; and entirely aside from the fact that Christian Science was not mentioned and cannot be classed among the systems this writer had in mind since it relies wholly and completely on faith in God and in His ability and willingness to heal "all thy diseases," is the fact that many of your readers, not understanding this, may be misled into believing that the critic's remarks could apply to Christian Science.

Over twenty years ago Christian Science was presented to a dear one in my family who was in great need of physical healing, and who lovingly and willingly accepted it and received an instantaneous healing.
Oh, that I might express my gratitude to God and to our beloved Leader, Mary Baker Eddy, not in mere words, which are inadequate, but in deeds, in the daily living of the truth and love of divine Science, for all the blessings and healings it has bestowed upon me and mine! The instantaneous healing of my eldest daughter was proof to me that it is divine Mind which heals our diseases.
It is a long time since I offered a testimony for publication in the pages of the Journal or Sentinel, but I was reminded of my duty and privilege by reading in the Sentinel that "testimonies of healings brought about at authorized lectures on Christian Science will be published.
It is with a deep sense of humility and unbounded gratitude that I add my testimony to the thousands of others that tell of the hope and encouragement which Christian Science is bringing to those who are seeking the practical, true religion taught by Jesus and reclaimed for us by our dear Leader, Mary Baker Eddy.
Orders for Mrs Eddy's Works should be addressed to and remittances therefor made payable to Harry I.
