morning in winter, when the snow lay deep on the ground, the writer noticed a little sparrow hopping about on the back porch, as though in search of something to eat.

visiting a beautiful country one is generally advised to go to the highest point to enjoy the view; and after climbing the hill one is rewarded by a wonderful panorama.

there someone who seems held to his seat by a nameless fear from the time the Wednesday evening meeting is open for the giving of testimonies until the closing hymn, and who then goes home depressed by self-condemnation because of his failure to testify?

When about twenty years of age, I served for a time as the superintendent of a Sunday school of the Protestant Episcopal church, of which I was a member.
How often we accept our daily blessings as a matter of course; yet we read in the Scriptures that "every good gift and every perfect gift" is from God, so that even the smallest manifestation of good is worthy of gratitude and praise.
Since I began to rely solely on the true God, whom I found through the study of Christian Science, I have been healed of toothache, influenza, poverty, the drink and smoking habits, a very bad temper, and many business troubles.
It is my desire to use the channel provided by our Leader, Mary Baker Eddy, through the periodicals to testify to the healing power of Christian Science.
My first attitude toward Christian Scientists was that of pity, for I had been reared in a home which was proud of the long line of orthodox ministers in the family, and I considered any digression from the teachings of our church as a going out after "strange gods.

Gratitude for the blessings which have come through the study of Christian Science must find its expression in testimony as well as in daily improving conditions, and so I would give my thanks through our periodicals for all that is constantly coming to me as a result of the earnest study of our Leader's writings together with the Bible.
Words are inadequate to express my gratitude for Christian Science, for the wonderful sense of the nearness of God and for the protection it has given me.
