Dear Journal:—With great pleasure and gratitude unbounded I send the following testimony.
When this most beautiful Truth first dawned on my clouded consciousness, befogged with evil and error, I was a sinner and a very sick sinner, with nearly all the ills that flesh is heir to; those that I did not have, I thought I had, so that between what I did have in reality, (?) and what I thought I had, I had all there was to have,—there was nothing left out. At that time, I was a walking encyclopedia for all the doctors, druggists, and patent medicines of the country. Thanks to Christian Science, those horrible conditions have changed, and a bright and glorious light is ever shining before me; the light of Truth and Love that does uplift and cast out evil thoughts. I have been able in a measure to lay off the old man with his bad morals and poor health, and take on the new man with better morals and good health. Whereas the old man used to smoke, drink, and carouse, the new man finds no pleasure in them. Whereas the old man used to swear, the new man swears not at all, the old evil and sick conditions have passed away, and the dismal forebodings that thronged the gloaming of my consciousness have disappeared under the mighty blaze of Truth. This message has made some wonderful demonstrations in my family. One of the most beautiful was the demonstration made for my mother who, to mortal sense, has traveled eighty years along the shore of time. From a very deplorable and agonizing condition she has been brought up to health and strength remarkable for one of her years. Christian Science healed my wife of many troublesome claims, and has also greatly benefited my son.
It would be impossible for me to tell of the many blessings received through our understanding of the Truth. My family is a Christian Science family, where health, happiness, and love reign supreme.
