In gratitude for what Christian Science...

Winifred May Fryer

In gratitude for what Christian Science means to me, I should like to tell of a healing which I experienced.

One day I broke my hip. Treatment was given me by a practitioner, and all pain was immediately eliminated. In three weeks' time I was free, swimming, cycling, and about my work as usual.

Christian Science has taught me to cease making a reality of an unhappy past and to rejoice daily for all good that always has been, always will be, and is here now. I used to look to person for love and appreciation, not knowing that as the image and likeness of God, Love, man already has all good.

Recently a helpful lesson was learned. My income had been reduced, and reluctantly I canceled part of my subscription to our periodicals. After a few weeks, with no financial improvement, I had a talk with a practitioner and decided to renew the canceled subscription. The next week the need was met. As our dear Leader, Mrs. Eddy, tells us in Science and Health (p. 79), "Giving does not impoverish us in the service of our Maker, neither does withholding enrich us."

The joy of participating in church work by serving on several committees and as Second Reader, as well as the daily consciousness of God as Father-Mother and the peace and confidence that I have gained, is a rich reward for any trials which I have been through.

I thank God for the knowledge that Christian Science is the truth to which Christ Jesus referred when he said (John 8:32), "The truth shall make you free."—(Miss) Winifred May Fryer, Dee Why, New South Wales, Australia.
