It is with tender gratitude for our God-inspired Leader that I wish to tell of the joy and happiness which Christian Science has brought into my life.

I associated with Christian Scientists for three years before I was willing to investigate this demonstrable religion; and not until I was nervous, sick, discontented, unhappy, despondent, and almost desperate, did I seek a practitioner. I prayed as best I knew to be led to a practitioner who had understanding; and on my first visit I experienced a wonderful sense of being "clad in the panoply of Love" (Science and Health, p. 571). I left the practitioner with an inward assurance that if I was obedient to the teachings of Christian Science God would meet my every need.

Immediately I purchased a copy of Science and Health and opened it at random. Before me on page 225 were these words: "Love is the liberator." Love has been my liberator during the past six or seven years. Within a few days after my first visit to a practitioner I was able to lay aside glasses which I had worn for twelve years. I was also healed of gallstones, after three physicians had said that my only hope of relief was a surgical operation. In an automobile accident, when the car I was driving was completely demolished, I experienced no sense of nervousness whatsoever. Nevertheless, my swollen body showed evidence of internal injuries, but these were healed solely by Christian Science; and in three days after the accident I again drove a car. I am grateful for these healings, but am most grateful for being liberated from the bondage of ill temper, mental darkness, self-pity, sensitiveness, and willfulness.

Many times recently I have had only to remember that "Love is the liberator" and be grateful for the many, many blessings which Christian Science has brought into my life, to rise immediately above a sense of depression. I am indeed grateful for all the helpful activities which our Leader has provided for Christian Scientists.—(Mrs.) Margaret McCauley Turk, Riderwood, Maryland.

Words can hardly express my gratitude to Christian Science and to its Discoverer and Founder for the healings that have come to me through the application of this demonstrable religion.

Like many others, I came into Science through a physical healing. For almost fifteen years I had suffered from a sinus condition. Two surgical operations failed to alleviate the trouble, and it was not until a third operation seemed necessary that I was advised by friends to try Christian Science treatment. I did so, and within a few weeks a great improvement was noted; in a few months I was entirely healed.

Many other healings have come to me through Christian Science, including one of a so-called nervous breakdown, which for a time made it necessary for me to practically give up my work.—Karl Türk, Riderwood, Maryland.
