In Malachi we read, "Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse." I should like to bring a few of the tithes to those who are seeking the truth as revealed by our Leader, Mary Baker Eddy.

Christian Science has met my every need for over thirty years. My first healing was of a nervous breakdown. Doctors had said they could do nothing for me unless I stopped worrying. This I would gladly have done, but seemingly I could not. A year or so before I had been asked by a dear one to try Christian Science, if the time ever came when medical aid failed. I knew a practitioner who lived near by and I went to see her. Never shall I forget her love and the wonderful words: "Why, my dear, God is Love. He does not send sickness, but sends only that which is good." Needless to say, the healing was rapid.

Since then there have been healings of pneumonia, nervous indigestion, sick headaches, shingles, and many other difficulties. Our children, too, were readily healed of so-called children's diseases. My daughter was born under Christian Science treatment and has never had any other. About fifteen years ago a stubborn case of eczema manifested itself on the back of her neck. Very patient work was done by a practitioner, and the eczema was soon overcome, but it reappeared for two more years. Finally, I said I thought it was my work—something to be corrected in my thought, for I had noticed that if I became worried or irritated the condition appeared to be worse. One morning in assisting her to get ready for school I found I was almost spellbound with fear. Mrs. Eddy's words in Science and Health (p. 563) came to me, "But why should we stand aghast at nothingness?" To me it was the healing word. I held to the thought of the allness of God and the nothingness of everything unlike Him, and the next day my daughter was free from every manifestation of the lie called eczema, and there has been no return. Blood poisoning and scarlet fever have also been overcome.
