Of the many blessings which I have been privileged to receive through Christian Science, I should like to tell of one in particular, to which I have always given special regard.

During confinement for childbirth I had contracted a throat trouble which grew worse from week to week. The relief given me by the physicians was only temporary. I knew of Christian Science at that time, but I could not yet decide to resort to it. However, after my suffering grew more and more hard to bear, and my condition had become more wretched and desperate, a Christian Science practitioner unexpectedly came to our home to call on my husband, whom he was treating in Christian Science. Immediately I decided to turn to this Science. Loving help was given me. Even before the practitioner left us all pain had disappeared, and after treatment had been given for eight days all inflammation was healed. Four years have passed since that time and there has been no reappearance of the difficulty.

For this proof of God's ever present love, and for the understanding which I have already gained through the reading of the Lesson-Sermons in the Christian Science Quarterly and of Der Herold der Christlichen Wissenschaft I am humbly grateful to God. It is my daily endeavor to obtain a deeper understanding of the pure teaching of the Christ, Truth, in order better to prove that God, all-embracing Love, is All-in-all, making every provision for us, and leading and directing all of us in all our ways.
