For years I have enjoyed and profited by the testimonies in the Christian Science periodicals, and I wish to add mine to the list as a partial payment for untold benefits received in the study of our beautiful religion.

When I was in my early teens, I attended a Christian Science Sunday School at the behest of my mother, who was for thirty years an ardent student. Yet, after a scant few years, I left the Sunday School and the study of Science, perhaps with the thought in mind that I was too grown-up to continue. I had to find out differently the long and hard way. For almost twenty-five years I forsook, not alone the truth of divine Science, but all belief in an almighty God. It is written in Jeremiah (17:13), "O Lord.... all that forsake thee shall be ashamed, ... because they have forsaken the Lord, the fountain of living waters."

And yet, it is further written in Joel (2:25), "I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten." Such has been my glorious experience since my return to the Science of Christianity. The long journey home was indeed a tedious one, but it has been worth many times over every heavy footstep that I had to take.
