Lilian M. Belletti with contributions from A. M. Belletti

Christian Science has done more for me than I can ever express, and I can never be grateful enough for all the help I have received and am still receiving from it. Though there are still many problems to be solved, it has brought us innumerable blessings.

When I first began the systematic study of Christian Science in August, 1915, I was so lame from neuritis that I could hardly walk round the garden. A dear friend helped me, and in a week I was walking from ten to twelve miles a day over rough, hilly country. I had not been able to travel in the tube, but was healed the very first time I attempted it after coming into Science. Previous to this I had several times tried to overcome this inconvenient idiosyncrasy by will-power, but I always had to get out at the next station and felt ill for hours after.

I have been healed of a trouble I had suffered from since childhood, which caused me great pain and for which I was constantly laid up. Since coming into Science I have not been obliged to spend a whole day in bed, although before that I constantly had to do so, on account of fatigue, nerves, heart attacks, and so on. Periodic sore throats have also quite disappeared, and there is great freedom from colds and coughs. Burns from boiling water have been instantaneously healed by knowing the truth about God's child, and there has been no mark or even the slightest soreness. Wasp stings have been overcome instantaneously by my mother and myself. Almonds used to seem poisonous to me, but now I can eat them and there are no evil results. Indeed, there are so many things I could tell if space permitted. Often and often I have been healed of severe pain by my mother reading to me from "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mrs. Eddy; and the Journal, the Sentinel, and the Monitor, have also been very helpful.

I am most grateful for the new concept of God and a better understanding of the Bible, which I had come to look upon as a splendid piece of literature and nothing more. It is now a new book to me and full of light. I had long since ceased to believe in the God usually preached. I was seeking for the true God. I have found Him in Christian Science, and my whole mental outlook is altered. Have I not abundant cause for gratitude?

I am grateful for the loving help of kind practitioners, for the ability to help others myself, for the Lesson-Sermon, for the splendid literature, which always supplies the need of the hour and is eagerly looked for in our home. I thank God for His great gift, Christian Science. I am most grateful to Jesus the Way-shower, and to Mrs Eddy, who by her consecrated life was able to give this blessed truth to all the world, this "tree" whose leaves are "for the healing of the nations."—(Miss) Lilian M. Belletti, Stanwell, Middlesex, England.

I am very glad indeed to corroborate my daughter's testimony, and I am very grateful for all that Christian Science has done for me. I used to suffer a great deal from indigestion and was constantly taking medicine for it. Now I can eat anything I wish. Colds are overcome immediately and I am experiencing great freedom from them. Neither my daughter nor I have taken any material medicine since coming into Science. We rely on God to supply our every need, whatever it may be.

I am very grateful to God and to Mrs. Eddy for Christian Science and for the ability to help others.

(Mrs.) A. M. Belletti.
