The article in the Sentinel for May 17, entitled "A few Suggestions," had the effect of awakening me to my duty to the publications of the Society, for I have been deriving much benefit from both Sentinel and Journal, without doing my share towards contributing; but I had always thought that I had never had any experience remarkable enough for publication. When I began to look back over the past few years, and really to see what a change has been wrought with me, I could no longer hesitate to send a short outline of my experience, hoping, in the event that it is published, it may do as much good to others, as it has done to me.

I did not become interested in Christian Science as a result of any physical healing, but since coming into an understanding of its Principle, I have experienced innumerable benefits, both physical and moral. As a small child, I was always considered very delicate. I seldom left the house during the winter months, and was almost constantly under treatment for colds and sore throat. Instead of being helped I became worse, and my mother decided to adopt homœopathic remedies. This treatment relieved me somewhat, but left me very susceptible to changes of temperature. I was never free from throat trouble during the winter months.
