Testimonies of Healing
Our blessed Master's loving invitation, "Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest," we had sincerely tried to accept for many weary, anxious years, but without finding this comfort. When the light of Truth, as taught in the textbook of Christian Science, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy, illumined the Master's words, we clearly saw the Christ, Truth, as present and available to meet our every need, with the result that our burdens and worries disappeared, and a calm, sweet sense of peace took their place.
