I am grateful for this privilege of sharing with others some of the many blessings I have received through the healing power of Christian Science. Prior to taking up this study I had never read the Bible, but now I find it to be a constant inspiration and guide when read in connection with "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" and other writings by Mary Baker Eddy. I am convinced that through the study of these books is to be found the correct way to work out one's salvation from all evil. I am truly grateful that I have found this way, which was marked out by Christ Jesus, and revealed in this age by our beloved Leader, to whom the world owes endless gratitude.
Since I first took up the study of Christian Science, in 1922, I have made steady progress. I owe much of this to the practitioners, through whose loving help I have been healed of many ailments, including a severe burn, bowel difficulty, contraction of the muscles in the leg, and severe hemorrhages. Nervousness of long standing, accompanied by loneliness and despondency, faded out of my experience when self-pity and impatience were replaced with more love and consideration for others. I have also received great protection when having dental work done. I am indeed grateful for all these healings, but I am far more grateful for the higher understanding of God gained from them.
As a result of the daily study and application of Science I have been benefited in various ways. In 1936 I was healed of a painful condition in the knee, which had troubled me at intervals for several years following an accident. This healing occurred at a Sunday service. A corn, which had been the cause of much pain and inconvenience to me for many years, was immediately healed upon my resisting the temptation to apply a corn remedy. I have been healed of an abscessed tooth; colds and headaches are less frequent, and I have been instrumental in helping others. For the healings and the innumerable blessings which I have received from reading our periodicals, I truly rejoice. I am also very grateful for membership in The Mother Church and for the privilege of serving in the activities of a branch church.
