At the time Christian Science was presented to me I had not been able to walk out by myself for over nine years. At first I was not receptive to the truth; but as the relatives who presented it came to see me, I observed that they had something that was helping them. So I consented to go with them to talk to a Christian Science practitioner. She asked me what I thought God was, and I said I though He was something to be afraid of. Then she told me that God was good—Life, Truth, and Love. After the practitioner had treated me several times I was able to walk to the automobile by myself. Then this practitioner moved away, and I started to go to the Christian Science church; but I was in mental confusion, and there seemed to be nothing but darkness. After a Wednesday evening testimony meeting I voiced this to a dear Scientist, who led me to another practitioner.

I cannot praise God enough for bringing me into Christian Science, and leading me to the practitioner who helped me to overcome the erroneous life I was living. I thought I needed alcoholic drink to sustain me, and I spent the greater part of my time in bed. The physician had told me that I had an incurable disease, and that he could do nothing more for me. But I have learned through the study of Christian Science that God is the great and only Physician. I have been healed of trouble with my eyes which I had had from childhood. They were very painful and I could not read for any length of time; but now I spend much of the time after my housework is finished in studying Christian Science.

I could not express in words the happiness and joy that have come to me from attending the church services. I am grateful for the Christian Science Sentinel, which I subscribe to; and I am happy to say I have made my demonstration to purchase all of Mrs. Eddy's writings. I am truly grateful for my better understanding; for now I do know how the healing work is done, and have proved it in healing others. I am grateful for membership in a branch Church of Christ, Scientist. I pour out my gratitude to God and to Mary Baker Eddy for her pure thought and the work she has done for all mankind.
