I have been helped so often by the testimonies of others, that I wish to add my own and express my gratitude. I heard of Christian Science about seven years ago, but paid little attention to it until I began to suffer with a sore finger, which a physician pronounced serious. After suffering for two weeks, walking the floor night and day, I finally decided to try Christian Science. In a very short time I was relived from pain and slept at night. The finger remained disfigured for a short time, but there was absolutely no pain.

I have three children, all of whom were born under Christian Science treatment. The births were natural and almost free from pain, and in a few days I was able to be up and about my work. About three years ago, when a dreaded epidemic was at its worst here, my eldest child, then four years old, was suddenly taken ill with all the symptoms of this disease. I immediately telephoned to a Christian Science practitioner for help, and within a few hours the fever went down. That evening she was able to be up and dressed and went out to meet her father. A day or two after this she became perfectly yellow, even to the white of her eyes, and the clothes which she took off were yellow as with age, so I knew that she had been spared from the dreaded fever.

About three years ago the three little girls were taken with a severe attack of an eruptive disease. The two older ones recovered very quickly, through Christian Science help, but the baby became very ill, and one night I telephoned to the practitioner that I feared she could not last throughout the night. The practitioner reassured me, saying that I could make no laws for God's children, that the baby was in God's hands and that I need not fear. I went upstairs much relieved by being thus reminded of the Father's care for His little ones, and by morning the child was very much improved. She opened her eyes,—a thing she had not done for some days,—was able to take a little nourishment, and was soon herself again. She is now a fine, healthy child.
