In gratitude for the blessings which have come to me through the study and application of Christian Science, I write this testimony.

I became interested in Christian Science when my wife proposed that we take our youngest child to the Sunday school. We attended our first service at the same time. The little one was allowed to bring home a copy of Science and Health. In reading this book I felt an indescribable joy and peace. I remarked that the statements must be true, but I wondered what it would say about smoking, for I had smoked incessantly for twenty-five years. One evening, as I was striving to understand the spiritual man, I laid down a pipe I had been smoking and forgot about it. I picked it up a little later and discovered it to be so distasteful to me as to be unbearable. This healing of the use of tobacco has been permanent.

In the fall of the same year it occurred to me that I had not been afflicted with hay fever all summer. It had left me and has never returned. I had suffered for twenty years with this belief. I am extremely grateful for these healings, and especially so to know that they cannot return, because "the former things are passed away." I am very thankful for the tender and loving help of a practitioner when a tooth caused me much pain. Other inharmonious conditions have been overcome, such as colds, backache, and a severe cut on the hand. The audible and forceful declaration of the truth of being is a great help in our home.
