After appreciating and enjoying the testimonies in our periodicals for a number of years, I have come to realize that the best way to say "Thank you" for them is to submit one of my own. A good friend gave us a year's subscription to the Christian Science Sentinel when our family moved to a new locality. This was before either my husband or I had become a student of Science, and I am sure that reading the articles and testimonies had much to do with our decision to call upon a Christian Science practitioner before that year was ended. We were both earnest students within a short time after that and were members of The Mother Church and a branch church within the following year.
Since that time, we have had many wonderful proofs of God's goodness and care. Among these have been healings of asthma, chronic constipation, poor vision, colds, and several so-called children's diseases.
One Friday night our young daughter complained of a very sore throat. Periodically throughout the night she called to me to come and read to her from the Christian Science textbook, Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy. Each time there would be relief, and she would go back to sleep; but the trouble was not destroyed.
