Christian Science has done so much for me that in expressing gratitude the problem is not in giving testimony, but in deciding which of the many experiences will be most helpful to fellow searchers after Truth.

God's allness has been demonstrated in many ways, and religion, instead of being a Sunday rite, is scientifically unfolding as a seven-day-a-week, year around, practical affirmation and application of good. Instead of being merely a moral signpost, Christian Science is showing me how to make religion usable in business, social, and other activities; how to restore healthy, harmonious thoughts concerning every event, everything, and everybody; and how to demonstrate that dominion over every untoward circumstance which is prophesied throughout the Scriptures and spiritually explained in the works of our Leader, Mary Baker Eddy.

In business life, discordant conditions, lack, and discouragement have yielded to harmonious, fruitful, and joyous activities. In family relationships, the passing on of loved ones, the seeming absence of mother love, the necessity of giving up what seemed to material sense every concept of home, have been replaced with a truer appreciation of Life, a veritable showering of love from all sides, and the right perception of home as a harmonious state of consciousness which cannot be taken away. Also physical discords have been overcome in proportion as the erring mental concepts have been replaced by Truth. False appetites and desires disappeared as their unreality was uncovered.

I shall never forget the rapidity with which fear and trepidation gave place to a sense of peace and ease on my first entering a door to a practitioner's office. More than to a healing, that door was the entrance to a new life, a new consciousness, and a new hope.

For the many ways that my own understanding and that of a willing, helpful teacher and of practitioners have enabled me to receive the blessings of Mrs. Eddy's statement, "Divine Love always has met and always will meet every human need" (Science and Health, p. 494), I am deeply grateful. Words cannot express proper appreciation of the loyalty and fidelity demonstrated in the government of both The Mother Church and branch church activities, which are making this Science available to all.
