It is with an awakened sense of appreciation for the testimonies in our periodicals that I desire to express my gratitude for Christian Science. I have been healed of rheumatism in the knees. It was two years before this was finally routed, but after an earnest investigation of my thinking I discovered a firm conviction that hereditary belief was the reason therefor. An earnest turnabout, seeing man's true heritage as God's child, healed me completely and permanently.
Grippe used to be an every winter occurrence, and of three weeks' duration. This was finally healed when I learned not to accept its signals as true. Attacks of nausea and sensitiveness have also been healed. During the war, though I was seemingly alone, God's care was beautifully revealed, insomuch that a position was found, as well as a home, with friends, whose kindness certainly was an expression of divine Love.
At one time, through obedience in reading our weekly Lesson-Sermon, an insight was gained that will ever be a milestone along my way. A short time after studying this particular lesson, I fell down the attic stairs. My senses seemed to be leaving me. In groping about in my thought for help I could not think of one word of truth. All at once—like a great light—the truth I had seen in the lesson, namely, the spirituality of man, came to me, and I began to see so plainly the separation of the material from the spiritual. Thought after thought came, and so enlarged my vision that I was healed. There has been much unfolded in my life since the first glimpse in my thought of the truth of Christian Science—the half could not be told. It is the process of awakening, the lifting out of the material mode of thinking, for which I am most thankful. It is proving to me that every experience is opening my thought to greater assurance of God's goodness.
