With sincere gratitude for all that Christian Science has done and is doing for me I give this testimony. When speaking of the promised Comforter, Jesus said, "When he is come, he will reprove the world of sin," and Mary Baker Eddy, in her textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," says (p. 55), "This Comforter I understand to be Divine Science." Soon after I took up the study of Christian Science it was revealed to me, with startling clearness, what an idolater I had been in always looking to material things for the healing of sickness and other discords, instead of looking to and relying on God. But turning to Him and applying the truth, as we are taught in Christian Science, has brought me many wonderful experiences.

My first healing was of grief for the passing on of a very dear relative, and I marveled at this first clear glimpse of the truth of life as deathless. This was indeed the promised Comforter, and I rejoiced. Words fail to express my gratitude for Christian Science having come into my life with the comforting, healing truth.

Another outstanding experience was during a so-called epidemic of influenza, when I manifested all the symptoms. I was cold and shivering while sitting close to a large blazing fire; but constantly repeating itself in my consciousness were the words: "Ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power." This quotation had appeared in one of the recent Lesson-Sermons in the Christian Science Quarterly, and I took it to be my healing message. At the usual time and in the ordinary way, without mentioning the symptoms to anyone, or feeling any fear, I went to bed with this message of man's completeness. The healing was instantaneous, for I soon went to sleep and on waking found there was no trace of any discordant condition.
