I became interested in Christian Science nearly two years ago, through the healing of my youngest child, a boy five and a half years old. All his life he had been afflicted with a weakness of the bladder, and at times it was very trying both to the child and myself. We tried every remedy we heard of, but no medicine that we used seemed to do him any good, and it was in a spirit of desperation that I took him to a Christian Science practitioner. I felt that help must be found for him in some way, and the way in which the practitioner talked to the child that morning gave me a glimpse of God such as I had never had before. I had been a church-member since I was a young girl, but I had never known God as ever-present Love, as I found Him that morning through Christian Science. The disease was entirely healed in the one treatment and the child has never had the slightest return of it.

I am truly thankful for the physical healing, but mere words cannot express my gratitude for the spiritual uplifting I received through my child's healing. I know that Christian Science is the truth, for each day we prove it by some demonstration over error. I am so thankful that this understanding of God as divine Love has come to me while my children are still young, so that they may always know God as Love.—Mrs. Emma Beard, Chicago, Ill.
