For three years Christian Science has been the only physician in our family. Being the mother of four small children, I find it the quickest, safest, and surest remedy for all the diseases which children are supposed to have, according to mortal sense. My youngest child was born under Christian Science treatment. The suffering I had previously gone through, both before and after birth, was entirely overcome. The baby was the picture of health, except that the eyes were so sore they could scarcely be opened, and there were several deep blue marks above and below them. To say that I was distressed by this does not half express it. I could see that the practitioner was working faithfully, and I realized that my fear was growing less, but at the end of five days the marks were more distinct than ever. Then it came to me that some time before the birth there had been a slight explosion when I was lighting a gasoline stove and the flames had set my hair and eyebrows on fire. I told this to the Scientist. She quieted my fear by saying that we must not look to the senses, or to the law of mortal mind, but to God's law, and if we would only believe we would see the glory of God manifested. Each day the birthmark grew lighter and the eyes opened a little more, until at the end of two weeks one could not tell there had ever been a mark on the face. The child is now over a year old, and when I see her running around the house with her bright, laughing eyes and clear, happy face, I thank God again and again for the great blessing given us through His name. I send this testimony, thinking it wrong to withhold such blessings from those in need of help, and to prove the saying of the Scriptures that we are made "clean through the Word."

Mrs. Minnie Thomson, Atchison, Kan.
