The experience of many years in Christian Science has brought me many blessings, and my gratitude grows more profound each day for the good that has unfolded during this period in the relief from ills of the flesh and from anxiety over social, business, and financial problems. Christian Science has brought to my consciousness a surer and more secure sense of the nearness of God and His "very present help in trouble."

Influenza with all its symptoms was almost instantaneously overcome through the operation of Truth in consciousness unfolded during a Christian Science lecture. Pink eye, accompanied by a sense of pain that seemed almost unbearable and made it impossible to read, was met with a realization of the power of Truth, through knowing and understanding that right thinking could not be interfered with, nor could the operation of Truth be stopped. Ptomaine poisoning was overcome in a few hours. Deafness, at a time when it seemed very necessary to hear perfectly on an initial business trip in a new position, was handled with a realization of the truth of Mrs. Eddy's statement in "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" (p. 463), "A spiritual idea has not a single element of error, and this truth removes properly whatever is offensive." Holding to the understanding of this removed the hardened wax in the ear, and freedom of hearing was manifested with no return of the condition.

My business takes me into many parts of the country, and one commission required my calling on a man who was known among contemporaries as very difficult to deal with. Spiritual preparation of thought before the visit resulted in a most satisfactory call; the business problem was clarified, with advice that there would be more new business; and a cordial invitation was extended to call whenever I was in the city. This experience brought with it a clearer vision of man in the image and likeness of God, and has since been an encouragement in many business deals when I was prone to think of dealing with person instead of with divine Principle and its manifestation. Christian Science is giving a higher sense of business, its operations and contacts, with resultant blessings to selling and buying.
