Since taking up the study of Christian Science, three years ago, I have received so many benefits that I feel it is a duty as well as a pleasure to tell of a few of them in the Sentinel. I was healed of a very painful bladder trouble, also of severe headaches, besides many other ills, but I would like to tell of the recent healing of a more serious disease. Several months ago a growth appeared on my right breast. I at first thought nothing of it, until an offensive discharge was added, and later it became painful. As this continued, and the appearance became more alarming. I was very much frightened, so I telephoned to a Christian Science practitioner for help. The pain was greatly relieved in a short time, but the climax was reached in one week, when another difficulty presented itself. In two days, however, this began to abate, but I noticed two fresh openings besides the original one. I was then thoroughly frightened, for from the first I had feared it was a disease from which an uncle had passed on several years before. But, thanks to God, and to the earnest work done for me in Christian Science, the growth was completely destroyed, and my happiness and gratitude can be imagined when every trace of it was gone.

For this and the many other blessings which I have received I am indeed grateful to God, and to Mrs. Eddy, who has made it possible for such things to be accomplished in this age.—Mrs. Irvine McCauley, Chicago, Ill.

Though we have never before given a testimonial, we have had many proofs of God's loving care, each member of our family having received timely aid and healing in Christian Science. One case stands out especially clear, that of our baby girl, when she was about nine months old. She was seriously ill with what seemed a cold on the lungs with high fever. We battled with this for several days with our small understanding of Truth, and seemed almost to have vanquished it, when suddenly an alarming change took place, and the babe sank into unconsciousness, and there were only slight evidences of life. We hastily sent a message to a Christian Science practitioner, and she took up treatment at once. In a short time the natural color returned, the child began to breathe regularly, and then went to sleep naturally. When she wakened she seemed rested, and took some milk with evident relish. She quickly regained her usual health, for which we are grateful beyond the power of words to express, and thankful to God for the wonderful teachings of Christian Science.
