It is my desire to express my appreciation for the many blessings that God has lovingly bestowed upon me. After my family and I had suffered many things and much sickness, I perceived that the conclusion of these various experiences was drawing me nearer to God, and I trusted Him fully to carry me through the Red Sea of difficulties too numerous to mention at this time. Long weary hours I prayed, still believing, however, that God could do everything but heal a sick body. They day came when, left destitute of help from every source save God, I consented to visit a Christian Science practitioner, and thereupon received my first proof that God, omnipotent, omnipresent Love, can and does meet every need.

I have received many instantaneous healings, such as those of sinus infection, a hernia which had troubled me for eight years, a dislocated hip which had been out of place for a period of twenty-three yers, colds, headaches, and chronic constipation.

I have also had healings that took many weeks and sometmes months before I received enough understanding to overcome the ailment, such as a very severe diseased condition of the eyes, also heart trouble. While I am indeed grateful for the instantaneous healings, I am also grateful for a fuller and deeper understanding of man's unity with his creator, God, which was gained from study during the healings that were prolonged.
