During the summer of 1911, through the reading of our text-book, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mrs. Eddy, I was healed of nerous breakdown. The healing was gradual, and I but half realized what had been done for me. In the spring of 1912 I was taken with what seemed to be a severe attack of malarial fever, and I thought that this was an opportunity to prove Christian Science healing. Up to that time material means had been used to overcome such difficulties, but with the faithful work of a kind practitioner I was healed of that trouble. At the same time my little girl was completely healed of a bowel disorder, from which she had suffered since birth.

I then joined the church in Orange. The three children were brought quickly through an attack of measles. The oldest boy, eight years old, was healed of an injured ankle, and through his own work was cured of chronic bleeding at the nose. There seemed much to be done for the little family, but as understanding of the truth came, the joy of being able to do the work myself was very great. Previously, it had been impossible for me to walk any distance or do my housework without severe pain in back and head, and I seemed to be always tired; but now I am on my feet almost constantly without experiencing the slightest fatigue.

There is no joy to be likened to the realization of Truth's power which is made manifest in the healing of those who suffer. My hope and prayer is to be loving and pure enough to be able to help others through the understanding gained in Science. It has been my privilege, this year, to have class instruction. As I look back on the doubt, chaos, fear, and dread of little more than a year ago, and realize the power of divine Love which has met so many of my needs, I know that this is indeed the truth which has made me free, and that the kingdom of heaven is at hand. Each day is a new opportunity to prove the all-power of infinite Mind, and to express our gratitude for all that has been done for us by our Leader in giving us Christian Science.
