"Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the Lord of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it" (Mal. 3:10). I wish to bring my tithe of gratitude into the storehouse of God's affluence.

Christian Science was presented to me when I was greatly distraught and in the midst of a discordant and unhappy situation in human relationships. From the very first hours of conversation with a practitioner I began to feel a lifting of the burden. She gently explained to me something of God's great love and of my relationship to Him as His loved child. I realized immediately that I had found something of practical help and began the study of Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy. Though understanding but little of this textbook at first, I could not let it go. I had many lessons to learn, but I finally arrived at a state of happiness and serenity. I learned to pray to God with sincerity and humility in the words of Jesus (Luke 22:42), "Not my will, but thine, be done."

My first physical healing, which was of a serious stomach ailment, was accomplished solely by reading the textbook. I had been put on a milk diet by a reputable physician and given some tablets. Soon after Christian Science was presented to me I determined to give its healing power a practical trial; so I threw out the tablets and resumed my normal diet. When troubled by pain, I would turn to the textbook. Gradually the attacks lessened, and one day I realized I was free.
