We desire to express through the Journal our heartfelt thanks for what Christian Science has done for us. I have been affected with beliefs of illness from childhood, at times suffering so that I was confined to my bed for weeks. For more than seven years I have suffered from rupture and did not dare go about without my truss. My wife was interested in Christian Science, but did not understand much about it. In March, a teacher came here and my wife insisted on taking the lessons. I must confess that I was opposed to it. She would go, and I felt compelled to go with her for protection—the class meeting at night and at some distance from us. When we reached the third lesson, I felt very ugly and dissatisfied, but continued to attend. About the seventh lesson, however, I felt very differently, and left off my truss. Was also relieved of other beliefs, and felt,—yea, realized, that I was a new man. I have had no pain or even unpleasantness since. It was some weeks after, when hearing some one speak of catarrh, that I remembered ever having had it, as I was entirely healed of this too. My wife was also healed in the class. We can never be thankful enough to God, for this divine Light of Christian Science! Shall always do all we can in the cause of Truth.—A. B. L.
