I wish to express the great gratitude I feel for what Christian Science has done and is doing for me. A little over four years ago, when I was willing to accept the teachings of Christian Science, I was healed through treatment in a short time and restored to health and usefulness. I shall always be grateful to the practitioner who helped me so wonderfully at that time, lifting me out of the depths of despair and a desperate condition with which I had struggled for eight years, growing steadily worse. Nervous prostration, stomach trouble, insomnia, hemorrhoids, were some of the ills of which I was healed, and since then daily I have proved the truth of Job's words, "Acquaint now thyself with him [God], and be at peace: thereby good shall come unto thee."
The daily study and application of this wonderful truth is bringing to me a greater and clearer sense of God's omnipotence and nearness. An experience I had in an accident proved to me God's ever-presence more clearly than I had ever realized it before. I was able to rise above all the confusion and excitement that followed. For the quiet knowing of the goodness of God I cannot be grateful enough. For the better understanding of God and man's relationship to Him; for the clearer realization of the import of Christ Jesus' life and works; for our revered Leader, Mary Baker Eddy, who so unselfishly labored to give to us this demonstrable religion of Love, I am very grateful. To the practitioner who has helped and guided my thought upward to God and away from self, meeting my every need, I am also grateful; grateful too to be a member of The Mother Church and a branch church, and for the privilege of serving. My constant prayer is, "Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me," so that I may be worthy of the name Christian Scientist.— New York, New York.
