Our Saviour declared, "Ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free" (John 8: 32). Of this glorious truth, I have gleaned a little, and I have been able to do so through my study of Christian Science. I know that by persistent application of the truths revealed to us by Christ Jesus and clarified by our beloved Leader, Mrs. Eddy, we can know and demonstrate fully this wondrous truth that makes free.

In Science and Health our Leader states (p. 98): "Beyond the frail premises of human beliefs, above the loosening grasp of creeds, the demonstration of Christian Mind-healing stands a revealed and practical Science. It is imperious throughout all ages as Christ's revelation of Truth, of Life, and of Love, which remains inviolate for every man to understand and to practise."

My full freedom from stomach trouble, from which I suffered many years, was accomplished with the grand assistance of compassionate practitioners. The difficulty started about 1940, with three or four attacks a year, increasing to every month or two, subjecting me to two or three weeks of almost constant pain and the inability to retain food, fluid or solid. While I was serving with the Armed forces, the medical department declined to name the condition, as also did civilian doctors. The drug I was given to relieve the pain had little, if any, effect, and the doctors advised me there was nothing more they could do for me.
