  	                      A TESTIMONY FROM IRELAND 

  	    It is with a heart full of love and gratitude to God,
18	and to our dear Leader, that I send this testimony to
  	the Field. I had never been a strong girl; had always
  	been subject to colds and chills, and suffered all my
21	life from a delicate throat. Seven years ago I had a
  	very severe attack of rheumatic fever and subsequently
  	two less severe ones. These left all sorts of evils be-
24	hind them, — debility, chronic constipation, and several
  	others, so that with these ills my life was often a
  	burden to me and I used to think I never should re-
27	ceive relief or health. I had also lost all love for
  	God and faith in Him. I could not accept a God who,
  	as I then believed, visited sickness and sorrow upon
30	His children as a means for drawing them to Him. 
 1	I was in this state of mind and body when Christian
  	Science found me. A dear friend, seeing my suffering,
 3	presented the truth to me, and though at first I did not
  	believe that there could be healing for me, the Chris-
  	tian Scientists' God seemed to be the one I had been
 6	looking for all my life. I began to read Science and
  	Health, and shall never forget my joy at finding that
  	I could love and trust God. I took to studying the
 9	Bible, and read nothing but Science and Health and
  	other Christian Science literature for a year. After
  	studying the "little book" for about six weeks, I one
12	d...ay realized that I was a well woman, that I had taken
  	no medicine for three weeks, and that my body was
  	perfectly harmonious. The reading of Science and
15	Health had healed me. The wonderful joy and spirit-
  	ual uplifting which came to me then no words of mine
  	can describe. I had also suffered from astigmatism
18	and had for several years been obliged to use special
  	glasses when reading or working, and could never use
  	my eyes for more than half an hour; but from the first
21	reading of Science and Health I found that I could read
  	in any light and for any length of time without the slight-
  	est discomfort. I am not only grateful for the physi-
24	cal healing but for the mental regeneration. I rejoice
  	that I am now able to help others who are sick and sor-
  	rowing. — E. E. L., Curragh Camp, County Kildare,
