I wish to express again my gratitude for Christian Science...

Daisy R. Loos

I wish to express again my gratitude for Christian Science through the columns of our beloved periodicals. For many years Christian Science has been Comforter and physician in our home, and a family of four has been reared according to its teachings. These children have been taught the truth, and many times I have thanked God for them and have profited by their purity and receptivity.

One day the children were gathered around the table having their luncheon, when the two small boys became involved in an argument which in a moment led to their uttering unkind and personal remarks. The sister, who is nine years old, up to this time had kept silent, but now she looked up and without any preamble said, "Thou shalt not kill." This produced instant silence; and then she went on, "You know, boys, Christian Science teaches us that a hate-thought is a kill-thought, and when you express hate you are breaking the sixth commandment." When the luncheon was over, two little boys left the table rebuked and chastened, and I thanked God for the child's clear vision of Truth and for His Word.

The same little girl awoke one morning in early spring with what seemed to be a severe cold. Her voice was gone, and every time she tried to speak she would cough violently. This was accompanied by fever. As school time was drawing near, mother and daughter reasoned together from the standpoint of Truth for a few moments, and the error which was making her afraid was quickly uncovered. The day before had been like a summer day, and before going for a drive she had taken off all her woolen apparel and donned thin summer garments. She was assured that God's law of love had not been broken by so doing, and so she could not be made to suffer; that she lived, moved, and had her being in God; and that the atmosphere of Love is the only real atmosphere. The "scientific statement of being" as found on page 468 of "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy, was held to. Within twenty minutes her voice was restored, and she went to school entirely healed. This is but one of many such healings. The word of God is "quick, and powerful."
