My first healing in Christian Science was that of a badly shattered arm. The doctors gave me no hope of ever being able to use it to advantage again, and all medicine failed; but with one treatment in Christian Science the arm was completely healed. The doctors also had me lay off from my locomotive work, saying I had kidney trouble; but that was likewise healed. Next came the laying aside of glasses, which I had been using for some eighteen years.

Most wonderful to me, however, was the healing of a broken leg. I knew that divine Mind had healed me of the other troubles, so I said God would be my only physician in this case. A practitioner was telephoned to, and in half an hour I was bearing my full weight on the leg. It was badly swollen, however, so we had the practitioner give me another treatment. I then went to bed, and slept until morning. Crutches were used for about three weeks, but after that they were unnecessary. I believe the leg is as strong as it was before the break, as I am able to take long walks, say from twenty-five to thirty miles, and have no trouble. I have also been healed of neuralgia.

We have had untold blessings and many experiences of healing in our family since coming into Science, for all of which we are thankful to God, and we are also grateful to our beloved Leader, Mrs. Eddy.
