Sincere gratitude impels me to tell of the good which God has bestowed upon me. Christian Science found me in a state of mental depression and physical suffering. Neither the loving words of encouragement offered by my children, nor those of the physician, were able to lift me out of this state, and it seemed as if I could not be freed from it. I grew more and more despondent and I believed that death alone would relieve me of my suffering. The nights seemed endless, as I was unable to sleep; besides, I had been suffering such terrible pain from rheumatism for the past ten years that at times I was unable to walk.
I have however been completely freed of all these great troubles, and can hardly express in words my gratitude to God, the all-powerful, ever-present Love which surrounds us and always leads us aright. My deep desire is to progress in understanding and to assimilate more of this wonderful Christ-teaching. I am deeply grateful to Mrs. Eddy for shedding new light on the old gospel, and my age (I am sixty-nine) shall not prevent me from beginning to study her book, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," for I know that infinite divine Mind will steadily increase the light of my present understanding.— Bern, Switzerland.
