I have such a sense of gratitude for what Christian Science has done for me and for the world, that I realize it to be my duty as well as pleasure to give my testimony. I became interested in this truth through going to the Wednesday evening services with friends who are Christian Scientists. The first time I went from curiosity more than anything else, for I was bitterly opposed to what I believed Christian Science to be, but the testimonies, which were given with the ring of conviction, impressed me more than I was willing to acknowledge.
Three years ago I began to feel miserable,—"run down," the doctors said,—and later I went to a specialist who said I had serious lung trouble. I was under his care for two months, and seemed to gain a little, but was soon back in the same rut again. It was then that divine Love led me to try Christian Science. I knew that it healed the sick, and I obeyed the voice of Truth, in spite of much opposition. 1 went to a practitioner, and received help at once, and at the end of five months I was entirely healed. I am very grateful for the physical healing, but have still greater cause for gratitude for the daily comfort and strength, the victory over fear, that is mine through the understanding and application of Christian Science. The only way I can show my gratitude to Mrs. Eddy is to do what she counsels, "Watch, work, and pray that this salt lose not its saltness, and that this light be not hid, but radiate and glow into noontide glory" (Science and Health, P3).— Toledo, O.
