How joyfully the grateful song of the Psalmist has echoed down through the centuries, "Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits: who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases."

Each day my gratitude increases for Christian Science and what it is doing for all mankind. Some years ago, when it seemed that I had reached the end of human endurance, I found this Science. False theology offered me no hope and I had lost all faith in materia medica and the training I had in it. After a period of intense suffering and anguish I turned humbly and completely to God.

How I rejoiced when it dawned upon my searching thought that God does not send sickness as a punishment or as a means of drawing His children nearer Him; that sickness is no part of His good and perfect gifts. There has been no turning back, though at times I had to come down from the mountaintop and pass through the desert of human beliefs. Yet even in the desert divine Love has always provided an oasis where I might rest beside the still waters and feed upon the green pastures of Truth.
