In prayerful thanksgiving to God that one was found in this day and generation pure enough and brave enough to demonstrate and give to humanity the statement of Truth contained in "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," I send this testimonial. While still a boy, a small dice or cube was inhaled into my lungs, which caused much suffering and made breathing difficult. The medical doctor diagnosed my case as inflammation, and later congestion of the lungs; but Christian Science was brought to my notice through the healing of a brother, and upon receiving treatment my condition improved until it became quite normal. Shortly after this, while at work, I felt something in my mouth, and discovered that it was the dice, which was removed through Christian Science after it had been in my lungs for over two years. The hearing was quite complete, for no ill effects were then felt, nor have any been felt since.
At another time an ugly growth appeared on my arm, so word was sent to the Christian Scientist who had helped me before, and in a few days the trouble had entirely disappeared. Much, however, as Christian Science was needed by me physically, the need was greater morally, for impure thinking, selfishness, and fear were dragging me down into the mire of iniquity; but through the kindly ministrations of Christian Science I can now say of God as did the psalmist: "He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings."
The Sentinel, Journal, and Monitor are most welcome visitors; they speak for the bountiful supply coming from divine Love. Month after month, week after week, and day after day, they come laden with good things to cheer one on to greater and more unselfish effort in the truth. I am especially grateful for the many helpful poems which appear in the Sentinel and Journal. Ofttimes when I am endeavoring to be found on the side of Truth, these poems enable me to rise into higher and holier thought, and thus to see evil and its intimations as nothingness. I can indeed exclaim with the psalmist, "Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path." My greatest desire is to be a true Christian Scientist.— Vancouver, British Columbia
