For more than thirty years Christian Science has been my help and support in all the problems which mortal existence presents. When I learned of this Science, I was about to submit to an operation which the physicians said was one of life or death. A friend who had been healed of heart disease through this blessed Science lent me her textbook, "Science and Health with Key In the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy, and I read for an entire day. At first I did not understand anything, but suddenly it was as if a curtain had been raised, and I saw the light. I arose from the bed completely healed, and there was no relapse. Since that time I have on many occasions demonstrated the power of Truth. With the help of consecrated practitioners I have been able to overcome various ailments. Since I have come to live far from the city, without means of communicating with practitioners, I have been able to heal myself of an attack of pneumonia, of the effects of accidents, and of the fear of poverty and age.

Inasmuch as I have lived the greater part of my life in cities, I have had to adapt myself to country life, but this has been easy for me because I have been helped by my knowledge that since man is created in the image of his all-knowing Father-Mother God, he knows how to do all things. Problems of lack have been solved. I have been able to use my understanding in everything connected with my small farm, so that we did not suffer harm from a plague of locusts. Every day I lift up my heart in great gratitude to Him whose ever-presence and all-power we can always prove when we trust in Him.

In closing, I must give thanks to the practitioners, to the entire Christian Science organization, to our branch churches, where we find love and understanding, and above all to our blessed Leader, Mrs. Eddy, who organized The Christian Science Publishing Society, the splendid periodicals and publications of which mean much to those of us who live far from our churches.
