Words are inadequate to express the joy and gratitude which impel me to add my testimony to the thousands which have already been given since our beloved Leader, Mary Baker Eddy, opened up for humanity the treasures of the life of our Master and revealed their true signification.
For over nineteen years I have gained courage and inspiration from the testimonies printed in our periodicals, and I now hope my testimony may help others.
