I have so much for which to be grateful to Christian Science that I will no longer delay giving my testimony. Always delicate as a girl and young woman, it was not until I was forced to turn to Christian Science, because the doctors said they could do nothing more for me, that I was healed of asthma in a very severe form, rheumatism from which I had been helpless for weeks at a time, a throat trouble which came regularly every winter, chronic bowel disorder, and a tendency to coughs and colds. I have had only one slight attack of asthma since my healing, and that was quickly overcome. Christian Science has been my only help in every need.

On one occasion my daughter, not quite two years old, pierced her tongue with a wire spring on a spinning-top. It is a spiral wire, turning until it gets to a point, when it turns back. I heard her crying, and went outdoors, striving to know that she was God's child, and that there are no accidents in divine Mind; but when I saw this wire right through her tongue I was frightened, as there seemed no way to remove it except by tearing a piece of the flesh with it. Then I found myself saying aloud, "All is infinite Mind and its infinite manifestation" (Science and Health, p. 468), and the top came away into my hand. It was to me a proof of God's loving care for His little one. After I had washed her face and changed her dress she wanted to play again, and there was no soreness or any indication of the accident.

God has been my only physician for a number of years, and I am very grateful to our Leader, Mrs. Eddy, who has made it possible for me to gain this understanding of God as an ever present help.—Adele L. Baruch, Glendale, Cal.
