For some time I have desired to add my word of thanks for the great benefit I have received from Christian Science. The study was not taken up for physical healing but in the search for something that was satisfying and practical. At one time I had been active in an orthodox church, but about two years before learning of Christian Science I had stopped even attending the services, as the teachings of the church had failed to meet my need.
Many healings have, however, come to me just through the reading of the textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mrs. Eddy. A severe condition of the stomach and bowels, of long standing, was overcome during my first reading of the book. At the beginning I read for the pleasure derived from doing so, but after the passing on of a dear one I began to study in earnest, and then found what a very present help even a slight understanding of God is.
I am more thankful than I can say for Mrs. Eddy's writings, and I wonder how I could ever do without our periodicals. I am grateful for all the helps I have had along the way and for the physical healing, but very much more for the spiritual uplift received and for the help Christian Science has been in controlling a very hasty temper. I long to learn more and more of this truth which does make free.— Buckhannon, W. Va.
