Testimonies of Healing

We read in the Bible, in Psalms "He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings. " This verse might well have been applied to me at the time Christian Science was presented to me, for I was indeed in a horrible pit, steeped in the belief of materiality with its false pleasures and pains.

In the Bible we read, "Praise ye the Lord: for it is good to sing praises unto our God; for it is pleasant; and praise is comely. " Gratefully and reverently, I wish to express my joy for all God's tender mercies.
