21	                      GRATEFUL FOR MANY BLESSINGS 

  	    It is with sincere gratitude for the many blessings Chris-
  	tian Science has brought me, that I give this testimony. 
24	I first heard of Christian Science about fifteen years
  	ago. A friend of mine was taking treatment for physical
  	troubles, and was reading the textbook of Christian
27	Science, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures. 
  	The title of the book appealed to me very strongly. I
  	said to my friend, "If that is a Key to the Scriptures,
30	I must have it." 
 1	    I had long been a member of a Bible class in an or-
  	thodox Sabbath school, but I never felt satisfied with
 3	that which was taught; there was something lacking,
  	I did not understand then what it was. I purchased a
  	copy of Science and Health and began to study it. I
 6	wish I could express in words what that book brought
  	me. It illumined the Bible with a glorious light and I
  	began to understand some of the Master's sayings, and
 9	tried to apply them. 
  	    I had had a longing to live a better Christian life for
  	many years, and often wondered why I failed so utterly
12	to understand the Bible. Now I knew; it was lack of
  	spiritual apprehension. 
  	    I did not know at first that people were healed of dis-
15	ease and sin by simply reading Science and Health,
  	but found after a while that such was the case. At
  	that time I had many physical troubles, and one after
18	another... of these ills simply disappeared and I found
  	that I had no disease, — I was perfectly free. The
  	spiritual uplifting was glorious, too, and as I go on in the
21	study of this blessed Science, I find I am gaining surely
  	an understanding that helps me to overcome both sin and
  	disease in myself and in others. My faith in good is in-
24	creased and I know I am losing my belief in evil as a power
  	equal to good. The pathway is not wearisome, because
  	each victory over self gives stronger faith and a more
27	earnest desire to press on. — E. J. R., Toledo, Ohio.
