I wish to tell of the healing of illness in my family through Christian Science. My daughter's baby, when twenty months old, was very ill with a most serious bowel trouble. A doctor was called, and medicine was administered according to his directions. The child grew rapidly worse, however, and to all appearance was dying. Every one thought it was too late, but still a Christian Science practitioner was sent for. She came, sat down by the mother and child, and in fifteen minutes all saw a great change. Color returned to the child's face and he began to get warm, the purging and vomiting stopped, and all retired for the night (it was then one o'clock). The baby slept well, and was up in the morning completely healed.
There have been more recent demonstrations, and one I wish to speak of. I had rheumatism for several years, and finally could not raise my hands above my head. One day I had a severe attack which affected my heart, and a Christian Science practitioner was called in. She came and gave me treatment. The next morning I awakened to find the pain had left, and in a few treatments I had the free use of my arms. The healing has been permanent. I have been working every day since, sometimes out in the rain, and have felt no ill effects. I was healed at the same time of cramps in my limbs and feet that had troubled me for some time. I am very thankful for the blessings I have received through Christian Science.—M. D. Voorhees, Baldwinsville, N. Y.
