I wish to express my gratitude to Mrs. Eddy for making Christian Science available to the world. It has aided me through countless difficulties, and enabled me to make rapid recovery from a mental and nervous breakdown. Since this healing I have been able to leave my family and friends in order to take up regular duties of employment, depending only on God for reassurance in disposing of even the petty fears that arise in meeting the public. I am now attending the state university, where I have the privilege of active membership in the Christian Science organization. It is also my joy to have membership in The Mother Church and a branch church.

Our family has demonstrated protection in an earthquake and from accidents, healing of physical ailments, proof of God as the source of supply, and aid in schoolwork. While I was riding on the running board of a car my clothes caught on a truck proceeding in the opposite direction and I was dragged from the car. In spite of minor bruises and being shaken, I was later able to descend swiftly, alone, and safely a three-thousand-foot cliff on a perilous trail and then participate in a party until early the following morning.

When I was about ten years old I was removed from school for six months with a skin disease. The problem was overcome with the aid of a practitioner, and when I returned to school I passed the grade on trial. During the following five years I was able to advance one whole year ahead of my former classmates.
