When I first heard about Christian Science, three years ago, I felt that it must be the truth, and I accepted it willingly, but many errors of sense had to be removed before my thought was aroused to the need of active work. I have had many proofs of God's loving care, and wish to give one which occurred last January, in which a case of typhoid fever was overcome for our eight-year-old boy. I had been declaring the truth for him for several days, without recognizing the error which was keeping me from calling upon a practitioner, when one evening, through fears expressed regarding his condition. I became alarmed and telephoned at once for assistance.

The practitioner upon whom I called, gave me the following from Science and Health, p. 420: "If students do not readily restore themselves, they should early call an experienced Christian Scientist to aid them." The word of Truth was spoken again and again before I realized that there was nothing to fear, but with the loving help given me the work was done and the boy was healed. This experience brought to me a better understanding of these lines in Science and Health, p. 574: "The very circumstance which your suffering sense deems wrathful and afflictive, Love can make an angel entertained unawares."

I am very grateful to our dear Leader for the truth which she has given us, but know that gratitude can be better expressed in deeds than in words. Divine Love opened the way for me to unite with Third Church of Christ, Scientist, of this city, last June, and later with the Mother Church of Boston.—W. J. M., Minneapolis, Minn.
