I feel it a duty to express my heartfelt gratitude for the great blessing that has come to me through Christian Science Last September, while in a place where I had been staying through the summer, I fell and injured my right arm. A resident physician was called in, who telephoned immediately to a place twelve miles distant for a surgeon, who came and bandaged my arm, saying that the bone would not knit, on account of my advanced age (eighty years), that complications might set in, and if I lived, I would never be able to use my arm again, farther than the elbow, and that many months must elapse before I could do even that. My sister immediately wrote to a Christian Science practitioner in New York for absent treatment, and when the doctor called three days after the accident, to tighten the bandages, I had removed them. I then told him of the Christian Science treatment which I was receiving, and when he asked me how I was going to keep the bone in place, without support, I replied that God would see to that. After four weeks' treatment I had the full use of my arm, walked a distance of nearly two miles, and continued to do so, until my return to the city.

Another blessing which I have received is the cure of asthma, from which I had suffered nearly twenty years. In my heart there is a constant song of thanksgiving for Christian Science, and I can truly say, "Praise God from whom all blessings flow."
