In Isaiah we read (55:1), "Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters, and he that hath no money; come ye, buy and eat; yea, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price." I came thirsting and drank of the fountain of Truth and Love. As a result I have received many blessings and healings of various kinds, as well as a purification of thoughts and actions.

Through the earnest study and application of Christian Science I have been healed of the drinking and smoking habits of long standing. Grief at the passing of a loved one was overcome. Influenza was a very trying experience, but with the consecrated work of a practitioner and my own steadfast holding to the truth, the light dawned upon my consciousness, and I saw myself as God's perfect child. I knew that I was healed, even though it was some time before the evidence of the disease entirely disappeared. Another healing for which I wish to express gratitude was that of an infected toe.

When I became aware of a heart difficulty and the work I was doing for myself did not relieve the situation, I asked for help from a practitioner. She said, "Change your thinking about the heart giving life and realize that Life is God." The healing work was begun and was earnestly continued for some weeks. I did a great deal of studying in our textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy, and kept my thoughts lifted to God. The healing took place before I was aware that the condition had been overcome.
