In gratitude to Christian Science I earnestly desire to give the testimony which follows so that it may be published and read, in the hope that those who read it will find the hope and comfort which I myself have found.

When I first heard a friend mention the name of Christian Science I was completely ignorant of this pure religion of the Christ. At that time I was going through a period of such discouragement that life was like a terrible night-mare to me, and I felt that every day I was slipping a little farther into a bottomless abyss. There was nothing any more in which I had hope. In God? I no longer believed in God, for I thought that if there were a just and good God, He could not have burdened me as heavily as He had; and so, without hope, without faith, there was nothing to which I could cling.

Upon the advice of my Science friend I sought a practitioner. How can I describe the emotion, the despair which wrung my heart, when I told the practitioner of the discouragement which led me to her? She listened to me with great patience, and spoke of God in terms unknown to me, but it seemed to lighten my burden. That day I left the practitioner, if not fully comforted, at least much less unhappy.
