For a long time I have felt it due to the Field that I bear testimony to what Christian Science has done for us, remembering the words of our Leader on page 372 of Science and Health, that "a just acknowledgment of Truth and what it has done for us is an effectual help." Our family consists of my aunt, now in her eighty-seventh year, for whom it is my duty to care, and myself. About six years ago, she was taken with a violent attack of heart trouble, and as she was not in Science, I told her she must have help of some kind immediately. She replied, with the seeming trust fulness of a child, "You are responsible for me." I wrote at once for Christian Science treatment, and relief came with the first treatment. She continued to improve until she was entirely free, and she has had no return of the trouble.

A year ago last June, while unloading lumber, I fell from a car, striking on the corner of a large piece of timber. This caused great pain in my chest and what seemed to be a fractured rib. At eleven o'clock in the morning I telephoned to a practitioner for Christian Science treatment. In the afternoon I went to work, and continued to work for several days, when I wrote the practitioner to stop treatment, as the rib was not in evidence against me.

These are some of the many proofs of the healing power of Christian Science which have come to us, and our hearts are filled with gratitude for a knowledge of this truth.
