My heart is filled with gratitude as...

From the July 1926 issue of The Christian Science Journal


My heart is filled with gratitude as memory recalls experiences through which Christian Science has been my support and protection. After many weary years of seeking for relief, when all material means of regaining health had been exhausted and physicians had said there was no help for me, the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mrs. Eddy, was placed in my hands by a friend. Being able to hold a book for only a short time, after reading on page 130, "You cannot add to the contents of a vessel already full," I laid the book down. A sweet sense of peace and rest came over me; and I knew all was well. The next day I arose, dressed, and ate what I relished, feeling a sense of freedom never before experienced. I was healed, and have never used material remedies since, but have found Christ, Truth, an ever available and unfailing help.

Christian Science has been unfolding to me constantly since February, 1895, when it was first brought to my attention; and the joy which comes with the ability to demonstrate it far exceeds the joy over the physical healing. Words cannot express my gratitude for our beloved Leader's life of sacrifice and devotion in showing us the true way to happiness and health. I am also very grateful for our periodicals. The joy that comes from the assurance that Truth is being revealed to all nations and bringing rest to the weary, is great indeed. To the Discoverer and Founder of Christian Science, Mary Baker Eddy, I give loving tribute to the correction of thought and desire; and to all who are living purified lives I am grateful. —
