I feel impelled to sing the praises of God because He has dealt so bountifully with me. During the past little over three years I have received so many blessings through the work of a practitioner and the study of Christian Science that I hardly know how to enumerate them all. I have been healed of a great nervous trouble and mental darkness. That the healing is permanent is proved in my ability to fill my position during almost two and a half years past, which I am doing to the satisfaction of my employers. For years I was dependent upon others for maintenance; now I am self-supporting and able to help others.
I have been well acquainted with the Scriptures since early girlhood, but the Bible is now becoming a new book to me through the light shed upon it by Christian Science. As we study our textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy, we see physical ailments, sins, all impurity of thought and act, faultfinding, and criticism, disappearing from human consciousness. We learn to see man as God's child, not as a sinning mortal. Of the many blessings I have received through Christian Science, by far the greatest of all is the spiritual uplift, for through it I have found God, and I am learning to know Him as Life, Truth, Love, Mind, substance. For the increasingly clearer realization of this, mere words cannot express my gratitude. That His love never changes and His "mercy endureth for ever" I have proved times without number.
I am grateful to God, to Jesus the Way-shower, and to our beloved Leader, Mrs. Eddy, to whose spirituality of thought and life we owe the discovery of this precious truth. For the many proofs of Love's mastery over hate, for Mrs. Eddy's writings, for the literature, the helpful testimonies of others, the unfailing patience and love of a most kind practitioner, for all that has helped me, I am indeed grateful. I long more and more earnestly for the day when I shall "come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ."
