My gratitude for Christian Science and to our Leader, Mary Baker G. Eddy, is unbounded. Since accepting and acknowledging Truth as taught in "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," the blessings which I have received can be but feebly expressed in words. Five years ago I was denouncing mentally, if not audibly, our Leader, as I had been told, and sincerely believed, that she borrowed her ideas from others. Now I know what a mistake it all was, and I have demonstrated this Truth, time and time again, and recognize and know that it was God who led me out of the "wilderness" into this "land of promise," for heaven is here and now. We have had many demonstrations in our family over physical ills, including fevers and sore throat, measles, a bad sprain, and many others which I will not take the space to mention. The last case was that of my little daughter three years old who, while playing about the house hurt her right arm. She cried so incessantly, and held her arm in such a peculiar position, that we thought it might be broken. After treating her for an hour with no apparent change, we sent for a physician to examine it. He pronounced it a fracture, but wished to have another physician assist in setting it. The two, after examining the arm and consulting, decided that it was not broken, but badly sprained. They wished to have it bandaged, but at our request, left it free, as we told them that the demonstration in Christian Science could be made more quickly without it. The accident happened about half past one or two o'clock in the afternoon. At seven o'clock the pain suddenly ceased, and she has never had the slightest trouble with the arm since. This occurred last August.
However, the greatest blessing that comes to us from the study of Christian Science is the spiritual uplifting which brings such perfect contentment and peace; and the joy of doing for others who are searching for Truth, brings more satisfaction than any mere worldly success.
