I want to join with the many thousand followers of Christian Science in testifying as to the healing I received three years ago. I was asked by wife to try Christian Science for stomach and liver complaint that had been troubling me for three or four years, during which time I suffered great agony and had given up all hope that I could ever be cured. I had tried several remedies that were recommended, but without effect. Just prior to my healing, when came to this place to take the position of station agent, people who saw me remarked that I certainly had lung trouble, and some gave me a few months to live, others only a few weeks. I knew nothing of these remarks at this time, but I felt that if help did not come from some source I was not long for this world. The night before I wrote for Christian Science treatment, I was using a velocipede car to take me home, as I was living two and and a half miles from my office, and I was so weak that had it not been for the help my wife gave in propelling the car I never would have gotten home. I thought it was my last trip, but I was spared through the night, and with what last trip, I received I was able to make the trip the next morning. My wife telephoned me soon after I arrived at my office and asked me why I did not try Christian Science. I said I would try it, but did not think it would do me any good. I asked my wife for the address of the nearest practitioner, and wrote her, enclosing money for one week's treatment. Next day I received a letter returning the money, all but the price of one treatment, the lady saving she felt sure one treatment would be sufficient.

I went home that night, driving the car myself, and read in "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures." a book that had rarely been looked into by myself. I thought it was all right for women, but that men in business life had no time for it; but I find I now have time to read it, and get as much business done as before. I retired early and slept better than I had for a long time. I had been unable to lie on my left side, and any attempt to do so would result in great suffering. This night I could lie any way result in great suffering. This night I could lie any way and without any pain, and I have not known what it is to suffer since that time. I had been a constant tobacco user, but the appetite has gone. I also discarded my glasses, without which I thought I could not get along.

People who saw me when I came here, and see me now, wonder at the change. I know what has brought the change! Since then I have had some fine demonstrations, at home and elsewhere, of Truth's power. I have not only been healed physically, but the spiritual uplifting which came with the healing and through the study of Science and Health is wonderful. I cannot express my gratitude to our Leader, Mrs. Eddy, for the book that makes so plain the understanding of the Bible, which before seemed so full of mystery, and I thank God that through her this understanding has come to light.—W. C. Flowers, Starr, O.
