For the past eight years myself, husband, and five children have depended entirely upon Christian Science when there has been any sickness in our family, and never in a single instance has there been failure or any cause for wishing that we had used any means other than Christian Science. Among our first blessings received was the healing of my husband of bronchitis and consumption His restoration to health has been so complete that at present he is employed in underground work in the mines here, where provision for good air is often a perplexing problem.

I had been afflicted for fifteen years with female trouble and was under the care of the doctors more or less during the entire time. A few months before my last baby was born,—some three years ago,—my suffering was intense and I became very fearful, as two of my sisters had passed on at the time of childbirth. I asked for treatment at this time, and one week after the child was born I was healed of something of the nature of tumor, and from that time on I have never been troubled with any disease and enjoy perfect health. I had heard Christian Scientists tell how well they were,—that they hardly knew what it was to feel tired ; and I wondered if it could be true. I know now that they were living what we all have a right to live,—a life of good health and happiness.

I have lately had the privilege of class instruction, and all our physical benefits are not more satisfying than the conviction that has come to us that Christian Science does teach the true nature of God and in what way we shall expect and receive good. For all this we are truly grateful.
