Over a year ago our little four-year-old daughter had a stroke of paralysis. The entire right side was affected, her arm being limp from the shoulder, and she could not walk. The father's faith was at that time in materia medica, and the help that he called for left him absolutely hopeless. In his extremity he turned to Christian Science and asked for treatment for the child. In three days she began to walk, and in two weeks was sliding down the banisters. Within two months she could use her arm, and for more than a year she has been perfectly well and strong. For the physical healing we are most grateful, but this is small in comparison with the healing of her nature. Neighbors will tell that they used to see a little frowning face at the window, where now there is always a smiling face. The child's nature has been transformed, and she has become loving.

My heart goes out in deep gratitude and love to our Leader, who is teaching us so wisely and patiently how to win our freedom from sin, sickness, and death. In my thought of gratitude and love there is a large share for the dear practitioner, through whose understanding this healing was made possible. All that we have, all that we are, we owe to Christian Science.

Mrs. Frances C. Groves, Chicago, III.
