It is with a deep sense of gratitude that I, too, wish to give my testimony. I have been in Christian Science a little over two years. I did not come to this Science for physical healing, but it has transformed me in accordance with the words of the Apostle Paul, "Be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God."

In the year 1916 my father, who was suffering from tuberculosis, was given up by physicians, and as a last resort he went to California. While there, he found the truth in Christian Science, and was healed. Now, twenty-three years later, the truth has come into my life to bless me and mine. A grain of understanding of the Christ, Truth, can never be lost, but grows and multiplies. Through my father's healing, three of our neighbors came into Science, one of whom was the means of my coming into Science later.

In October, 1936, I began earnestly to study this teaching and apply it to my needs. As the truth unfolded, the words of our textbook, Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy, became illumined. By making an honest effort to apply this truth, I have found that my life has become an endless path of blessings in many ways. Demonstration after demonstration has been made in the way of supply, home, happiness, love for my family and all mankind, but my greatest blessing is the understanding I have gained of how to think rightly. My whole standpoint has been changing from one of materiality to spirituality.
