Dwight S. Mills

I too would add to the unnumbered thousands a statement of my profound gratitude for the revelation of Christian Science and healing. When I was four or five years old a very dear aunt visited us, and she was a Christian Scientist. She told me many beautiful things which left me hungering for more, and when I found myself slipping into corrupt practices for want of better guidance, I went to my aunt's home under the pretense of gaining further education. There I soon began to learn with her help a little of the truth and beauty of holiness as we learn it in Christian Science.

A little more than four years ago, when I started to college, I was suffering from a rupture of long standing which caused me no little discomfort. Having always liked athletics and sports, I asked for help from a Christian Science practitioner, and in a very short time was completely healed and "made" the team for which I was a candidate.

When I began to study Christian Science I soon realized that my progress would be much more rapid and my physical and moral condition would be improved if I overcame the tobacco habit. I had smoked both pipe and cigarettes steadily for six or seven years. With the help of a practitioner I was able to overcome this false appetite, and I seldom if ever think of it may more. I feel freer, cleaner, and more active since I have ceased from these "burnt offerings" to false gods.

I could not feel that this testimony was complete without an expression of gratitude for the demonstration of sufficient funds with which to attend college. I started out to college with forty-eight dollars and a little understanding of Christian Science. I tried to abide in the conviction that, however impossible it might seem, if I was doing the right thing God would sustain me and show me the way. Truly, some of the experiences I have had since were convincing in the utmost degree of our Father-Mother God's protecting and tender care. To me it seemed that the major part of these demonstrations was made when sufficient moral courage was gained to stand in the face of material testimony and know nothing but God, good.

I am grateful for a number of physical healings, too numerous indeed to include here. Words are vain; deeds alone can show our gratitude.
