ful. A bone in my foot had also been broken, leaving
a bunch, which disappeared after I studied Christian
Science and received class instruction. I am an entirely
well man and for this I am very grateful. I am also
glad that I have learned enough of Truth and love to
be able to heal others. I wish to express my thankful
appreciation of our Leader, also of the Sentinel and the
Journal. – N. R. F., Salina, Kans.

It is a pleasure to acknowledge the great benefits which
have come to me through Christian Science. It is nearly
ten years since I began the investigation of the subject by
borrowing a copy of Science and Health. I had become
a hopeless sufferer from asthma, – the disease being so
aggravated at times as to make breathing almost impos-
sible. I was also a victim of that dread disease, consump-
tion. It was hereditary, nearly all my family on both
sides having passed away with it. I took up Christian
Science very much as a drowning man catches at a straw.
However, I was much interested as soon as I began to
understand it, and having read the book nearly all my
waking hours for a few weeks, I became so much better
and so convinced of its truth, that myself and wife de-
stroyed all the medicines in the home, and have never
since used any remedy except Christian Science. I con-
tinued to study and to put into practice the teaching as
best I knew, and was restored to health in a few months.

Prior to my investigation of Christian Science I had
Prior to my investigation of Christian Science I had
been from boyhood an outspoken infidel, had read that
700:1
class of literature extensively, and had no desire for
class of literature extensively, and had no desire for
anything of a religious nature, – the orthodox teaching
never having appealed to me as a rational exposition of
an all-wise God. I now have no more doubt of the truth
of the teaching of the great Way-shower, Jesus of Naza-
reth, than I doubt the correctness of the basic law of
mathematics or music. I have no doubt whatever that
Christian Science saved me from the grave, and thus
proved a most practicable and efficient help in time of
greatest need. However great my physical suffering has
been, I can but feel glad that through it the door of con-
sciousness was opened to let in the light of Truth. Thus
I have progressed a little way in the knowledge of God,
good, as revealed in Christian Science. – C. B., Webb

This has been proven to me in every way. When
Christian Science came to me, I was a wreck, physically,
mentally, and financially; but since the reading of Sci-
ence and Health turned my thought toward the light, I
have found that, as far as I am willing to receive the word
and live it, all comforts are supplied me. I am especially
grateful for the spiritual help. I know that things which
I did and thought last year I would not do or think this
year, and am satisfied. Through the careful and prayer-
ful study of Science and Health I have been lifted from
sickness to health, from sorrow to peace, from lack to
plenty, and, the most beautiful of all, from darkness to
light. – Mrs. H. S. C., Seattle, Wash.
