I am glad of this opportunity to express my gratitude for Christian Science. For more than six happy years I have received much benefit, and the members of my family have enjoyed countless blessings. When I consider the many demonstrations of harmony I have experienced myself, or seen in the lives of others, I feel very humble indeed.

Knowing little or nothing of Christian Science, I attended a Christian Science lecture, partly to please my father, and partly out of curiosity to see how he had been healed. Two things heard at that lecture I shall never forget: first, that the strong, positive law of God, good, actually exists; secondly, the words of Jesus, "And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me." I was instantaneously healed at that lecture of a physical trouble for which I had daily taken medicine for years.

Need I add that I have never used material medicine since, and soon none was to be found in our home? Many problems were met by the application of the truth contained in Jesus' statement quoted above. From this time the way led upward. It has not always been easy, because I had formed many habits of thought not in accord with the truth about God and man. But, as our beloved, courageous Leader says (Science and Health, p. 380), "Truth is always the victor."
