I feel that I must tell others of all the blessings I have received since I first heard of Christian Science and especially since I began to study it earnestly. I made inquiries about it of relatives, who told me God could heal all our physical and mental infirmities, and that the understanding of Christian Science was preventive as well as curative. That was enough, for I knew that no remedy I had ever tried had ever prevented different sicknesses. When I began to read it I never doubted a word I read, although it was some time before I understood well enough to apply the truth for myself and family. A fear of total deafness left me from the first, and as I have gained in understanding, the sense of deafness has left me to a remarkable degree. I no longer fear to meet and talk with others; indeed, I feel I have been born again to experience such freedom, and I have had no abscesses in the ears since I first began to read Science and Health, whereas before they were quite frequent each winter.

When our two children were born I had Science help, a practitioner and nurse being employed in each case. Many obstacles had to be overcome in the first instance, but God was with us and I was saved from possible surgery. The first child seemed to cry so much until she was two months old that my neighbor who was a Scientist came in and told me such crying was not natural and that I should have help. When I saw I could not meet the need I took the baby that morning to a practitioner and she was healed then and there of colic. Oh, the happiness to see her smile and not cry. She gained steadily in weight and others often remarked what a happy child she was. Many man-made, so-called laws were broken when the second child came. It was a very quick delivery and I sat up the same day and each day until the fourth day, when I arose, dressed, and took my meals at the table with the family. I also assisted with the general work and cared for the baby until the tenth day, when I took full charge of the home and children. I shall never forget the spiritual uplift and firmer conviction that God is Love and ever present. I am happy to say our children do not know of material remedies and there have been many healings of different physical illnesses, sometimes through my own application of the truth gained through the study of Science and Health, which is indeed the "Key to the Scriptures." There are two instances which stand out clearly as to the power of God to heal. Our little girl fell and broke her collar bone when about three years old. We did not reach the practitioner by telephone until the next morning, but though my realization of the truth the child slept well all night. We were advised to follow Mrs. Eddy's directions given on page 401 of Science and Health. The child played about all day very happily, as the surgeon did not arrive until evening. We kept the bandage on just a week; the child made no complaints at all. When the bandage was removed we knew she was perfectly healed and she has had perfect use of her arm ever since.

Just recenlty a felon appeared on one of my fingers, which almost entirely covered the finger. I declared the truth the first two days and experienced no pain; then I asked for help and on the fourth day it began to disappear. In about a week the old skin had all peeled off and was replaced by a new one. I am so grateful to say that anger, hatred, selfishness, and resentment have vanished like a dream from our home.
