It is now over five years since we took up the study of Christian Science, and I wish to bear grateful testimony to the healing power of Truth, and to the spiritual quickening which we have received from it. The first work done for us was the healing from a severe attack of acute lung trouble, which had been running almost a week. It was completely overcome in four days and the child was out at play. We have called for help in rheumatism, smallpox, a malignant growth under one of the children's eyes, heart trouble, and also in childbirth. I especially want to speak of the latter experience. The child was born before the practitioner could get to our home, as she had about three miles to come. When she came, I was resting nicely, and she took care of me and of the baby; then sat in another room until morning. When she brought in my breakfast I asked her to treat me for some discordant feelings. She told me that I need have no pain, as there was no place here or hereafter for pain. Soon I was perfectly free from pain and felt no sense of weakness. I was up all day from the first, attended to three small children, and felt no inconvenience in any way. I was out to church in one week, and have always been strong since then. This was to me indeed wonderful, as with five children born under materia medica I was confined to the bed for two or three weeks each time, and was very weak then.

Besides the healing in our own family, I have seen and known of the healing in Christian Science of many diseases, some of them supposed to be incurable. I do indeed feel very grateful for this truth which makes us free, and I thank God every day for what our beloved Leader is doing for mankind.—Mrs. Lillie Graybael, Merrill, Ore.
