It is sixteen years since I have availed myself of the privilege of expressing gratitude for Christian Science through our periodicals, and it is an overflowing heart which prompts me again to seek this privilege. At the time Christian Science found me I was wretched in mind and body, condemned by materia medica to die, rebellious, filled with an agony of fear, despairing, trying to pray to a God who I felt could not or would not hear or help me, trying to love a God who seemed not to care for His creation.
But God is Love, and even my feeble reaching out for good brought an answer through the loving thought of a practitioner, and in one week's treatment I was healed of heart disease and several minor troubles, and in all these years since that first healing I have found Christian Science unfailing, and many times instantaneous in meeting my need. Inflammatory rheumatism, kidney trouble, influenza, severe headaches, grief, sorrow, and desperate financial difficulties have been overcome through the understanding of the unity of man with God—the knowledge of the power, presence, and activity of good only.
For the consecrated life of our beloved Leader, Mrs. Eddy, and her inspired obedience in establishing the cause of Christian Science in all its various departments, I am unspeakably grateful and realize that this gratitude is void without the alert and steadfast effort to support all the channels which she has provided for sending out the truth.
