For two years I had what was supposed to be rheumatism in my knees. I went to some hot springs, where the doctor put me on a system of diet and baths for six months, but with no effect. My knees were so painful that I could hardly rise from a chair without assistance, and I walked with difficulty. After leaving the springs, I went to my home in Chicago, and there was examined by a prominent physician, who diagnosed the case and said that I should have an operation on each knee. My husband objected to this, and after returning to San Francisco I went to a Christian Science practitioner and was healed in a few treatments,—four or five, I believe. This was during 1911, and I have had no return of the trouble.

I was also healed of a felon on my thumb, which was extremely painful. The pain was overcome in one treatment, and all swelling gone in a few days. Then too I have been healed of chronic headaches, from which I had suffered since childhood. What I am most grateful for, however, is the healing of a sense of despondency and fear which had held me in bondage for weeks at a time; but I was patiently led into the understanding of this healing truth, and I am now able to help myself out of many minor difficulties.

My greatest joy and peace now come from the daily reading of our beloved Leader's books and the study of the Lesson-Sermons.—Stella W. Lillick, Belvedere, Cal.
