Having received many blessings for the last eleven years from the teachings of Christian Science, I should like to express my gratitude through this channel provided by our beloved Leader, Mrs. Eddy.

In the year 1919 my sister and I went to a testimony meeting in a small Christian Science church in our town. It seemed that curiosity took us there, but now we know it was the guidance of divine Love. Our need seemed great, for we were very unhappy over discordant conditions in our home, and both were in bad health. My sister had been obliged to give up business owing to a breakdown, the doctor telling her that she had active lung trouble. I had been a great sufferer for over twenty years with an internal complaint, and a great deal of my time was spent in bed trying any material remedy which I hoped might bring me health and strength.

Soon after attending the service we borrowed the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Eddy, and began to read it, earnestly praying that God would show us whether it was the truth. On page 2 of the textbook we read: "Are we benefited by praying? Yes, the desire which goes forth hungering after righteousness is blessed of our Father, and it does not return unto us void."
