To me the most wonderful thing in the world is the proving of God's presence and power. Each proof brings a sense of sudden joy almost like a glad surprise, because it is so different from anything life seemed to offer before I learned of Christian Science. I had for many years been a sufferer from nervous trouble and terrible headaches. Then there developed a condition of exhaustion. An all-consuming weariness seemed to possess me constantly, so that I was unable to do my work, to plan, or even to take an interest in affairs, and was almost too tired to think. I also suffered greatly from mental depression.
At this time I was led to call on a Christian Science practitioner who talked to me of Christian Science and gave me a treatment. I went home in better spirits but still very weary. The next morning while dressing I suddenly discovered that I wasn't tired—I felt strong, energetic, and happy; the depression was gone. That day I cleaned house, working fast and hard all day. When night came I could honestly say I was not tired. This proved to me that God is the source of strength. Since then I have had many demonstrations. I have laid aside glasses, my eyes being in better condition than in years before. Constipation has been overcome. Two abnormal growths faded away as a result of the understanding gained through reading "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mrs. Eddy. What seemed to be an obstruction to breathing was overcome in one treatment. An attack of the grip was overcome through the understanding that divine Love casts out fear. We had one very wonderful demonstration in a difficult business matter, which turned out more harmoniously than it could possibly have as the result of any human planning.
I am thankful for Science and Health and the other Christian Science literature, and am grateful to the practitioner who has helped me so patiently and cheerfully. I seem to stumble a great deal, but I am learning, and always there is that wonderful sense of security and confidence which comes from knowing that, regardless of all seeming evidence to the contrary, God is ever present and has all-power.— Earlimart, California.
