When I try to enumerate the many blessings that I have received through Christian Science, words fail me to express them. Some years ago, through loving friends, I was led to visit the little Christian Science church here. It was a Wednesday evening testimony meeting. I shall never forget how loving everyone there was to me. Being very ignorant of Christian Science, I sat far back, so that, if it was not pleasant, I could slip out. Needless to say, I had no desire to leave.

Since then, many healings in my family and in my own consciousness have taken place. While my daughter, then a girl about ten years old, was in the gymnasium at school she sprained her ankle. The teachers wanted to send her to have the ankle bandaged, but all she asked was to be allowed to telephone to a Christian Science practitioner for help. She did not miss a day at school.

Before coming into Christian Science I had a malignant growth removed from my eyelid with radium. It was over a year in healing. In the light and understanding of Christian Science, when this same condition manifested itself again, I was instantaneously healed by declaring that God was the only power and presence, the only healer, and that nothing unlike God, good, could manifest itself in consciousness.
