As a child my young daughter was subject to severe attacks of croup. I was awakened one night to find her choking and gasping for breath. I was at first filled with fear, as it was midnight and the practitioner who always helped us lived in another town quite a distance away. The thought came to me to read the Lesson-Sermon, which I did, and got help from the account of Jesus raising Jairus' daughter, but I dared not go over to the bed. I read the lesson through once more, and when I again came to that reference the choking had ceased; by the time I got to the end of the lesson my little girl was peacefully asleep, and the fear seemed to fall form me like a mantle. I am most grateful to God for this proof of His goodness; also to our revered Leader, Mary Baker Eddy.

I live some miles in the country and do not have the privilege of attending the Christian Science services, and seldom meet a Christian Scientist, so I eagerly look forward to the arrival of The Christian Science Journal, Sentinel, and Quarterly, and am most grateful for these gifts of our revered Leader.—(Mrs.) Elizabeth Green Hansen, Oakdale, California.

It is now over nine years since I first took up the study of Christian Science. I had heard it discussed many times but always ridiculed what I thought it to be. However, I can honestly say it was the happiest day of my life when I began to understand the truth.
