It is with the deepest gratitude for what the study and application of Christian Science have done for me, that this testimony is given.

I had known of Christian Science for a number of years, but did not turn unreservedly to its teachings until a crisis came, and I was forced to lean on some power beyond human strength. I feel the most sincere gratitude to the practitioner, who, during this crisis, gently led my thought away from material conditions into the realm of spiritual truths. During the years of adjustment, Christian Science has been a daily guide, and has indeed brought me into the land of peace. For all the mental victories gained, I cannot express enough gratitude.

My first physical healing was of grippe, when, after a day of almost delirium, I telephoned to a practitioner. Her assurance of healing brought a good night's rest, and complete healing the next morning. My joy that day knew no bounds; I had proved that Christian Science heals physical conditions as well as mental. Since that time, it has been my privilege to overcome many false claims regarding health. As a young girl, I had never been rugged; periodic nervous breakdowns interfered with school and pleasures. Through the study and application of Christian Science, a correct sense of health has been established in my consciousness. Some of the healings I have experienced include those of two severe burns; a dislocated bone in the wrist, which was instantaneously healed through the help of a practitioner, when I was willing to rely radically on Truth for healing; and a sprained ankle, which was immediately relieved. An unusual tooth extraction was performed very harmoniously, and none of the aftereffects laid down by a well-meaning dentist were experienced; chronic ills have also disappeared; and many other healings, too numerous to relate, have been beautifully brought about through a clear realization of perfect God and perfect man.
