With all my heart I should like to give thanks for the blessings which I have been privileged to experience since I turned earnestly and unreservedly to Christian Science. The consciousness of God's omnipotence and omnipresence—divine Love filling all space—and the honest endeavor to be obedient to divine Principle, as it is made clear in Christian Science, make my life wonderfully rich. The truth, newly revealed to us in this religion, is a never-failing source of happiness, and it is a special joy to me to know that more and more people are being led to this source.

For the benefit of others I should like to tell of a wonderfully quick healing of inflammation of the lungs and pleurisy which a small nephew of mine experienced. The doctor who was summoned by the parents found the case so serious that he would not take the responsibility alone and called in a specialist. Neither of them concealed from the parents the fact that they would have to prepare themselves for a long, difficult testing time. In their great distress and anxiety the mother telephoned to a Christian Science practitioner of my acquaintance for help, and the mother told me afterwards that she at once became much more peaceful. Truly, when I visited my little nephew the next evening I was wonderfully touched by the harmony and quiet assurance of both the parents. They had placed their trust wholly and entirely in the sustaining infinite. A change for the better was already apparent in the little boy's condition. It is true, he still lay impassive in his bed, but he was breathing naturally again. Two days later the boy was free from fever, and on the fifth day of the Christian Science treatment, given absently, he was able to get up. This healing made a great impression on all who witnessed the cure. I am filled with heartfelt thanks to the practitioner for the help lovingly given us.

For this experience and for many other blessings, for membership in a branch church, as well as for the happiness and joy which have come into my life through Christian Science, I am daily grateful to our Father-Mother God, and in sincerest gratitude I think of our selfless Leader, Mrs. Eddy, who has brought us anew the Christ-healing.
