A Feature of the midweek meetings of the Christian Scientists is the impromptu speaking of members of the congregation in the time allotted for that purpose, during which they relate their experiences in Christian Science and give testimonies of healing. At the meeting of Second Church of Christ Scientist, held at the Lyceum Parlors, on North Charles Street, last night, about fifteen persons, men, women, and children, told of what Christian Science had done for them and for others they knew about.

Miss Ellen E. Cross, C.S.D., a graduate of the Massachusetts Metaphysical College and First Reader of the church, conducted the meeting, the first part of which consisted of singing, prayer, and the reading of selections from the Bible and the Christian Science text-book, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker G. Eddy, Founder of the organization.

A lady told of a case where a young man had had a bicycle accident, falling on his face, bruising it badly and injuring his nose. He refused medical aid and insisted on being taken to his home, where, after receiving Christian Science treatment, he was able to go about the same day, and no sign of the accident remained after the fourth day. The following day a similar accident occurred to a friend, who had medical attendance and was not healed in six weeks, although the injuries were no more severe.

A gentleman said that his horse had had a very severe attack of colic in the street and was expected to die. He ordered the horse taken to the stable and administered Christian Science treatment, and the next morning the horse was well and put into harness again. He said that subsequently a neighbor's horse was attacked in the same way and died under medical treatment.

Another gentleman told of a widow who managed a large farm out West, having great herds of cattle, sheep, and other animals. This lady was a Christian Scientist, and while disease was attacking the animals of the farmers all about her and decimating their herds, she did not lose any, because whenever any of her animals were taken sick, as they sometimes were, and many nearly died, she treated them by Christian Science and they were soon well. He spoke of the great benefits from the use of Christian Science, he had seen in other farms he visited.

An illustration of healing at a distance was given by a lady who told of a case of pneumonia she had healed by absent treatment, without seeing the patient. The symptoms showed a well-developed case with high fever, and two doctors had been in attendance. Improvement began with the Christian Science treatment, and in less than a week the patient was healed.

Another lady spoke of the case of a friend who had broken her finger by a fall. A doctor was called to set the finger in plaster of paris; but after a while she suffered great pain, and upon examination it was found that gangrene had set in, and the doctor pronounced amputation necessary. Being a music teacher she did not want to lose her finger and tried Christian Science. The pain left her at once and she was healed in a short time.

A lady told of a child, three years old, living in her house in this city, who was ill with pneumonia and was pronounced dying by the attending physician, the body of the child being already quite cold. A Christian Scientist was sent for and in two hours symptoms of recovery were manifest, the body became warm and consciousness returned. The next morning the doctor pronounced the disease gone, although no medical treatment had been given that day. The. same lady told of a case of croup that was healed in one night.

A little boy, who is a member of the Sunday School, said, "For several years I had very bad catarrh, but since I began learning about Christian Science I have been healed.

I also had astigmatism and wore glasses for three years, but I don't need them now, as my eyes are all right."

Another boy, also of the Sunday School, said, "My father came home one day with a badly sprained foot. I asked him to let me read to him from Science and Health and it would cure him; and it did, for he was at work again the third day. He had no other kind of treatment."

A case of healing through reading Science and Health was given by a lady, who said that a friend of hers had been bedridden for very many years, and upon becoming interested in Christian Science she desired to read the textbook, and in one hour she said she was completely healed, went down-stairs to dinner, and has been well ever since.

A lady told of the healing of a case of heart disease where the man had been pronounced incurable by the doctor, was very feeble and weak, and only able to hobble about. The healing was done in three weeks.

The case of an old lady of eighty-four years, who broke her leg in falling, was given, and it was said that the doctor who set the limb expected the worst on account of the age. Christian Science treatment was given and the patient had no pain, slept well, and was soon healed.

A gentleman said, "I was an invalid for many years and was in a hopeless state, as the doctors had told me nothing could be done and death was inevitable. Since coming to these meetings I have steadily improved, and my investigation of Christian Science and the study of Science and Health has proved a great blessing to me, as I am now practically a well man, can do more work than for twenty years, and realize the possibility of a successful life. I have always been addicted to smoking, and no matter how hard I strove to overcome the habit it was always in vain. I decided to have treatment for it, and on the second night the desire was all gone and has never returned. The greatest spiritual blessing that has come to me is the destruction of the desire to sin."

It was announced that a reading room has been opened at 1201 North Charles Street.—Baltimore (Md.) News.
