With deepest gratitude for all the blessings received through the daily study and application of Christian Science, I am prompted to offer my testimony in the hope that it will help lift my fellow men out of deep waters.
Christian Science is teaching humanity how to work out its salvation from material bondage to all ills of the flesh, into glorious liberty as children of God. Brooding over the loss of my parents through separation, and the loss of my material home, and being unable to continue my education, which promised future opportunities, I suffered great resentment and self-pity. I also experienced a great sorrow in early life, which caused me to become quite cynical. This condition brought me into a state of despair, which caused me to become a mental as well as a physical wreck.
Laboring under pulmonary tuberculosis, the physicians claiming that my left lung was gone and giving me only a short time to live, I was in my "extremity," which proved to be "God's opportunity." Christian Science was presented to me by dear friends who informed me of how to become acquainted with God. The statement, "You are God's perfect child," aroused me By striving to be obedient in daily reading the Lesson-Sermon in connection with the Bible and the Christian Science textbook, I began to realize that I belonged to God and was part of His creation. Hours were spent in pondering the beautiful truths contained in these two books.
