For some time I have wished to add my testimony of healing and my expression of gratitude to those which are ever forthcoming from grateful hearts all over the world.
Once more I feel impelled to express my gratitude for the blessings of Christian Science which I have enjoyed for many years; and especially for the healing of a severe nervous breakdown which had forced me to leave my home and place all my affairs in the hands of my daughter.
Jesus,
great Teacher of the sons of earth,Wondrous Exemplar of the lessons taught,Inspirer of the effort for new birth Which with the death of matter must be bought; Thou, as a young lad, taught the elders law,To Mary's waiting thought the truth didst give,Explained the way till Nicodemus sawMen must be born again if they would live.
