Some years ago Christian Science was suggested to myself and husband by dear friends who knew by experience that the Truth would free us from the bondage to materia medica, and heal our claims of sickness in its many types and forms; but we were not ready till financial difficulties came and we were convinced that we must trust in God to remove the almost hopeless despair which seemed to envelop us. We thank God the Truth, as taught in Science and Health, has enabled us to overcome physical claims and to find that divine Love will meet our daily need.
We rejoice that the demonstrable Truths, as taught by Jesus, have been voiced to this age by our beloved Leader,—Mrs. Mary Baker Eddy—who has so patiently and unselfishly toiled to bring this Light to the world, thereby showing the heavily ladened they can find peace and rest on earth by realizing the allness of God and the unreality of matter.
We have derived much benefit from class instruction by one of our Leader's loyal students, and are members of the Mother Church of Boston, and of First Church of Christ, Scientist, of this city. We are constant readers of all the Science literature, always looking forward with pleasure for the helpful articles in the Journal and Sentinel. In one of the Sentinels which we read (Sentinel of February 23, 1899), we found a prayer which has been a daily help to us.— Chicago, Ill.
