After all the goodness, kindness, and love which have been mine since I became a student of Christian Science, I feel it my duty and a great privilege to be able to send this testimony. I have received many healings, the outstanding ones being of chronic constipation, insomnia, and nervous prostration, the latter difficulty carrying with it a desire to commit suicide and the fear of going insane. All these diseases were forgotten after a few months' study of the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy. I have also been healed of the desire to smoke and to drink intoxicants. I thought I should never be able to give up the drinking, as it was supposed to induce sleep and give me strength. I can truthfully say that it was through my praying to God for release from these false appetites that I was made free.
I am most grateful for all these healings, but what stands out the most is the healing of discontent. I held a position that enabled me to do extensive traveling, and always after I arrived at my destination I was never satisfied, always wanting to be "on the go." I was in bondage to that condition for fifteen years, not only making myself a mental wreck but making all those around me very unhappy. In place of all that there is now peace and contentment.
Before concluding this testimony I wish to express my gratitude for all our periodicals and for the advertisers in The Christian Science Monitor. I have purchased from these advertisers, and the loving cooperation along with consideration shown me has been wonderful. I have made it a habit that if I need anything I consult the Monitor advertisements first.
