through a girl who was attending our boarding-school,
and who was healed through Christian Science treatment.
We bought the textbook, "Science and Health with Key
to the Scriptures" by Mrs. Eddy, and what a revelation
it was and is to us; it is indeed the fountain of Truth. I
had read Science and Health but a very short time when
I took off my glasses, began to sleep well, and soon found
myself well in mind and body. Besides this, it has brought
harmony into our school, where there had been discord,
and everything is changed for the better. I cannot de-
scribe the happiness that has come to me through Chris-
tian Science; I can only exclaim with the psalmist: "Bless
the Lord, O my soul;" and may God bless Mrs. Eddy.

My one aim now is to live Christian Science, not in words
only, but in deeds; loving God more and my neighbor as
myself, and following meekly and obediently all our
Leader's teachings. Words cannot express my gratitude
to Mrs. Eddy for Christian Science. – S. A. K., Van-
couver, B. C.

When I first heard of Christian Science I had been
When I first heard of Christian Science I had been
afflicted for nine years with a very painful disease of the
bowels, which four physicians failed even to diagnose,
all giving different causes for the dreadful sufferings I
endured. The last physician advised me to take no more
medicine for these attacks, as drugs would not reach the
cause, or do any good. About this time I heard of
Christian Science, and had the opportunity of reading
"Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mrs.
Eddy, a few minutes every day for about a week, and I

was thereby healed. In looking back I found I had not
suffered in the least from the time I began reading this
book. It has been nearly seventeen years since this won-
derful healing, and I have had no return of the disease.
My gratitude is endless and can be best expressed by
striving mightily to walk in the path our Leader has so
lovingly shown us in Science and Health. – Mrs.
J. W. C., Scranton, Pa.

After doctoring about a year, I was obliged to give
up school and was under medical care for two years;
but grew worse instead of better. I was then taken to
specialists, who pronounced my case incurable, saying
I was in the last stages of kidney disease and could
live only a short time. Shortly afterward my uncle
gave me a copy of "Science and Health with Key to
the Scriptures," and asked me to study it. After study-
ing a short time I was able to walk a distance of several
miles, which I had not been able to do for three years.
I also laid aside glasses which I had worn seven years,
having been told I would become blind if my eyes did
not receive proper care. It is over a year since I re-
ceived God's blessing, and I am now enjoying perfect
health and happiness. I have never had my glasses on
since I first began reading Science and Health, and I have
not used any medicine. – L. R., Spring Valley, Minn.

I came to Christian Science purely for physical healing.
I came to Christian Science purely for physical healing.
I was very ill and unhappy; very cynical and disbeliev-
