Soon after I took up the study of Christian Science about fifty years ago my testimony of gratitude for this wonderful religion was published in the Sentinel. I am impelled at this time to express gratitude for the many evidences in my experience since then of the efficacy of the healing truth.

Among the physical healings I have had were those of asthma, muscular rheumatism, typhoid, pneumonia, food poisoning, and head colds. I have had wonderful protection in several accidents. At one time I fell headlong down a long flight of stairs. Instantly I realized that there are no accidents, because man is at all times governed by the absolute law of God, which maintains all His creation in perfect harmony. I experienced no ill effects and continued with the activity of moving into a new apartment, which I had been doing when the fall occurred.

A beautiful demonstration of supply was made a few years ago when all income was unexpectedly cut off. For several months the unselfish spiritual support of a loving practitioner sustained me, and a most harmonious and satisfactory position became available. The realization I gained of man's right place and constant supply as a child of God has been of lasting benefit.

I am most grateful for the benefits of Christian Science in bringing up my two children. With the exception of one light case of measles, they were free from all the so-called children's diseases. Neither of them ever suffered a broken bone, a sprain, or any other such mishap, although they led normal, active lives. Parents who trust in God's loving and ever-present protection to free them from fear are able to liberate their children from so-called laws of contagion and from accidents.

I am deeply appreciative of the privilege of serving in a branch church in various capacities. This service has meant much spiritual growth for me and has increased my understanding of the true relationship of God and man. I am grateful to our beloved Leader, Mrs. Eddy, for giving us the revelation of Truth through her unfailing love and devotion to Principle, and I am grateful for the activities of our movement, which is blessing all mankind.

Early in my study of Christian Science I had the privilege of class instruction, and this has proved a great blessing. The practitioners who have helped me lovingly and unselfishly whenever called upon have shown me the meaning of true friendship. Striving to live up to the Tenets of Christian Science has improved my disposition and made me a better woman. I am increasingly grateful for Christian Science.—(Mrs.) Cella A. Holmes, Jackson Heights, New York.
