As I have always found the testimonies in the Journal and Sentinel most helpful, I feel it is time I added mine. For fourteen years before I took up the study of Christian Science I had been a semi-invalid suffering from an internal trouble. For this I had an operation, which proved for a time successful, and we thought my troubles were at an end.

I had been home only a short time before I was suddenly seized with bad turns which proved to be epileptic fits. I suffered from these for about three or four years, during which time I had two doctors and two specialists who were all most kind to me and did their best. The last specialist tried every drug but one, and that he did not care to give. We were in despair, and it was then that Christian Science came to me through a friend who was a Christian Scientist. I had never heard of Christian Science and had no idea what it was. She explained a little to me, and although I did not understand it I decided to try it for the sake of my husband and children. I at once gave up all medicine and dieting, and ate just what the others did, a thing I had not done for a very long time. Science and Health was lent to me but I could not read it owing to the supposedly weak condition of the brain. A few days afterwards I asked for treatment and was instantaneously healed although I had no knowledge of what Christian Science was.

I shall never forget the wonderful uplift I experienced with that treatment, and I left the practitioner's office a very different woman from the one I was when I entered it, and for three months I was absolutely on the mountain top. I have had no return of the trouble, and that was twelve years ago. I had a return of the internal trouble for which I had had an operation, but it was quickly overcome in a few days by my own realization of the truth. Since then I have been gradually working out my own salvation. Bronchitis, a growth, indigestion, and muscular rheumatism (all supposed to have been inherited complaints) have been overcome. For some of these I have had help. Smaller ailments such as a weak lung, nettle rash of years' standing, influenza, colds, bilious attacks, corns, chilblains, chapped lips and hands have all been overcome through the knowledge of the truth. No material remedy of any kind have I used during the twelve years. My remedy has always been the truth and it had never failed.

I think that, of all the healings, I am most grateful for the overcoming of jealousy. Only those who have suffered similarly know what it means to have come out of that. This healing was very slow, for it took eight years and it was only as I clung steadfastly to the truth and realized that passage from Science and Health (p. 57), "Happiness is spiritual, born of Truth and Love" that I was freed. I can truthfully say I now know what real happiness is, for I am happy and free as never before. Words can never express the gratitude I feel for that healing. I have been told repeatedly that such jealousy could not be overcome. I am healed to-day through Christian Science. Although I am grateful for the physical and mental release, I can never feel sufficiently grateful for that wonderful sense of peace that I possess through the knowledge I have gained from Christian Science of what God is. That is best of all. My heart goes out in warm and loving gratitude to Mrs. Eddy for so lovingly showing us the way, and also to all those who have helped me. I feel it a great privilege to be a subscriber for all the periodicals, for they are veritable expressions of good.—(Mrs.) R. E. Blanch, Stroud, Gloucestershire, England.

I wish to verify my mother's testimony. Until she was healed through the study of Christian Science I had never known her to be absolutely well, and her healing has certainly been one of entire restoration and rejuvenation. Our home has been completely changed and I shall always be very, very grateful for the fact that Christian Science was brought to our notice.

Personally I have been helped in many ways, as who is not when one relies solely on the divine power of Truth? Colds, sore throats, bad headaches, and warts on the hands are some of the discords which have passed out of my experience. I have also had an instantaneous healing of measles, and was very beautifully protected during the recent epidemic which ravaged the country. During the first appearance of the epidemic I was constantly coming into contact with those of my friends who were suffering from its ill effects, but through realizing the truth as taught in Christian Science and knowing that I was dwelling securely in an "atmosphere of Love divine" as the words of one of the hymns in the Christian Science Hymnal so beautifully express it (p. 84), I was enabled to come through the experience unharmed. On the second occasion of the trouble I awakened one Saturday morning with all the symptoms of an influenza attack, together with a sore throat, but was able to attend the office at which I was working quite happily by knowing that the only business I could be about was the Father's and that He would give me strength to get through the day. On the next morning the sore throat had entirely disappeared and after attending the service the rest of the symptoms had vanished completely.

Christian Science has also helped me to overcome fatigue and weariness during long and strenuous office hours, and to conquer great fear while my brother was at the front. It is proving a daily blessing to me in my college life in helping me to know that the true source of all knowledge is God. For all these manifold benefits I am very grateful, but more than all else I should like to give thanks for our Leader, Mary Baker Eddy, who proved such a steadfast disciple of our Master in giving to the world this great healing message, showing us that if we will but serve God with all our heart and with all our mind, He becomes the source of all our happiness.

I feel it is only right that I should express my thanks and gratitude for our splendid periodicals. They are indeed proving great channels through which the seed of Truth may be spread; I have received the answer to many problems through perusing their pages and have, on several occasions, gained practical help in my ordinary studies while reading the columns of The Christian Science Monitor. To all those who are so faithfully giving their services to the cause of Christian Science and to those who have many times helped me I am indeed grateful.
