In humble gratitude to God for His great goodness to me and mine during more than twenty years, I should like to add my testimony to those in our periodicals.

At the invitation of a friend I attended a Christian Science lecture. It was the lecturer's explanation of creation as stated in the first and second chapters of Genesis that interested me and caused me to realize that this was the religion I desired.

I purchased a copy of "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy and began the study of the Lesson-Sermon in the Christian Science Quarterly and attended the church services regularly. One day I realized that I had been completely healed of frequent attacks of sick headaches. This healing took place simply through my study of the Lesson-Sermon. Soon after this my husband entered the service during the World War, and Truth blessed and sustained me throughout the months of waiting, in which I gained continuous unfoldment through the desire to know more about this healing Science. It was also a constant help to him during his experience and protected him in many ways, one of which was at the time of an influenza epidemic. Men in his company were rapidly passing on around him, but he was quickly relieved of the symptoms of this disease by reading Science and Health. Soon after his return from the service he was told by two physicians to prepare to go to a hospital for an immediate operation for appendicitis. Instead, a practitioner was called. All pain and symptoms vanished in a few hours, and there never has been a return of them since that time.
