From the March 1916 issue of The Christian Science Journal


About twelve years ago I was invited to attend the Christian Science church services with some friends. I became interested in the teaching and soon took up the study of "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mrs. Eddy, and other Christian Science literature. At this time I was in a discordant condition mentally and physically, and spent much time in a discouraged frame of mind. As I began to study and gain some understanding of the truth as explained in our text-book, I commenced to improve at once. Material remedies were discarded and life began to take on a new outlook.

Nasal catarrh, headaches, stomach disorder, and nervousness are some of the difficulties that have been removed. The habit of swearing was also overcome and I gained a desire for better company than I had formerly kept. A few years ago I met with an experience that resulted in a badly fractured skull. With the help of a Christian Science practitioner I was back at my regular work in six weeks, and have never had any trouble from the injury. My wife and children have had many remarkable proofs of the healing power of Truth when understood in the light of the teaching of Christian Science.

I owe very much to this teaching; it has given me a new view of life, a satisfactory knowledge of God, and the way to solve daily problems. I am grateful for an ever helpful literature, especially for our daily paper, The Christian Science Monitor, which is doing much to mold the world thought along the lines of righteousness and peace.—
