Before I knew of Christian Science,...

Lucie Clerc

Before I knew of Christian Science, I used to wonder why the Scriptures so often say, "Praise ye the Lord." Now I understand that giving thanks to God is not something which He requires for His own sake, but an attitude that is highly beneficial to us: a grateful heart is receptive and receives the divine blessings more abundantly.

Since a testimony of mine was published in 1925, I have had many other proofs of the redeeming power of Christ, as revealed in Christian Science, so that a renewed expression of gratitude seems normal.

On the whole my health has been much better since the study of Christian Science, continued through the years, showed me that God is the great Physician and that we may always appeal to His power. Also my work as a teacher in high school became more purposeful, interesting, and profitable. Both at home and among colleagues, the improvement in strength, in disposition, and in poise was commented upon and attributed to Christian Science. Several healings were quick or instantaneous, notably in cases of accident, of pneumonia, of food poisoning, and of minor ailments.
