Christian Scientists do not claim to possess supernatural gifts, but they do claim that the teachings of Christ, in their application to the healing of disease, are as practical to-day as they were when our Saviour and his disciples dispelled sickness with the Word. The following letter has just been received from a member of the Institution of Civil Engineers in London. He writes, in part:—

"One of Lord Maitland's men at the war was kicked in the knee by a horse. After being twice operated on and pronounced incurable, Lady Maitland suggested Christian Science. He went to a practitioner and was healed within three quarters of an hour. He had stammered badly for years, and this also was put right. The leading surgeon at Westminster Hospital could not believe it, and remarked that it was simply a miracle."

Herbert A. Parkyn, M. D., in explaining the cures of Christian Science says, "A few years ago physicians in general laughed at the idea of Christian Science curing genuine physical complaints; to-day the physician who denies the fact proclaims his ignorance of what is actually going on in the very fields of thought and research in which he should be most interested."
