L. H. Milliken

Eight years ago Christian Science was brought to my notice through the healing of a nephew. My husband as well as myself had been sick for several years, and had taken every kind of medicine that we could hear of. It would only relieve for a short time, and the trouble would come back worse than before. We now can thank God for the many blessings that have been bestowed on us, — for the knowledge gained through Christian Science. Since coming to Christian Science I have been saved from the insane asylum. Only a few years before I laid two dear little boys away to rest, and my health was very poor. There seemed but little to live for.

I write this with the deepest gratitude to God and to our dear Leader, Mrs. Eddy, for giving this glorious truth that makes free. My husband was healed of the tobacco habit of twenty-eight years, by reading Science and Health. I have had many beautiful demonstrations, — the healing of my son of a dislocated ankle and broken collar-bone, besides colds and headache. I would also like to mention what seemed to me two great demonstrations. My husband while talking to me was overcome by heart trouble. He slipped from the chair to the floor, and it seemed as though he could live but a few minutes. The only thought that came to me was that God is his Life and he could not be separated from God. In about five minutes he opened his eyes, looked around; in less than twenty minutes he was up and went to the door to talk with a friend. I was able to overcome a trouble for myself due to inhaling poison from paint. I could not pass through the room where there was any smell of paint but my lungs would be so sore that I could hardly breathe, and I would break out with sores from my arms to my feet. Now I can take the brush and paint, and stay in the room and inhale the paint all day, and it does not affect me.

Words are inadequate to express the good that Christian Science has done me and mine. I have gained much from the Sentinel and Journal. I will try to express my grati tude by striving to be worthy to bear the name, A Christian Scientist.—Mrs. L. H. Milliken, Levant, Me.
