It is with much gratitude that I voice my thanks for all that Christian Science has done for me. It is more than twenty years since I took up its study, and during this time it has been my only physician, whereas prior to that I was under the care of doctors a good part of the time. I had been brought up under the belief of being a very delicate child, having something wrong with me most of the time. Shortly before taking up the study of Christian Science, I had lost more than twenty pounds in less than a month and was continually growing worse. I was completely healed in less than three months by Christian Science. In later years, during the stress of business cares, I neglected my study somewhat, and some of the ailments reappeared, but I held to the truth, and they soon vanished completely.

I find that the most important thing I have to do is to entertain only good and perfect thoughts. In the proportion that I do this, my problems are lessened or solved.

I am very grateful to our Leader, Mary Baker Eddy, the Discoverer and Founder of Christian Science, and to The Christian Science Board of Directors, for their loyalty to the Manual of The Mother Church by Mrs. Eddy. I am grateful also for the privilege of being a member of The Mother Church and of a branch church and for the opportunity of serving in branch church activities. I consider my greatest duty is to live in accordance with Mrs. Eddy's statement in "The First Church of Christ, Scientist, and Miscellany" (p. 160), "To live so as to keep human consciousness in constant relation with the divine, the spiritual and the eternal, is to individualize infinite power; and this is Christian Science." I feel that in the degree that I do this, I show my gratefulness for Christian Science.
