Your repeated invitations to give to the Journal profitable experiences of the efficacy of Christian Science principles, has prompted me to submit the result of a personal effort at self-treatment, begun with little light and imposed by the urgency of pressing need.
I have known of this blessed Science four years, and more; but while I thought myself benefited and was greatly interested, I failed to trust entirely to its sustaining power and consequently found only partial relief.
My present light, which I value so much, came to me through recent experiences, which followed a more careful study of the teachings of Science and Health, and a more earnest, determined endeavor to realize in consciousness its teachings. This determination was greatly stimulated by ideas and articles in recent journals, beginning with last January.
