I should like to express gratitude for the renewed sense of being which has come to me through the study and application of Christian Science. This Science was introduced to me by a relative who was living some distance away and who used to send Christian Science periodicals to our family.

What reading I did in them impressed me with the thought that here was something which would heal anything. That thought remained with me, for I had always had a great fear of so-called incurable diseases. Later a tubercular condition developed. I was smoking and drinking quite a bit, and the condition grew steadily worse.

One day I decided I had better get some help; so I called a Christian Science practitioner. It was on a Wednesday, and I was lovingly asked to attend the testimony meeting that night in a Church of Christ, Scientist. At that time I was very timid, fearful of large crowds, and self-conscious. When I went to the meeting I was very grateful to see such friendly people and to feel such an atmosphere of love.
