When a boy of twelve years I sustained a gun-shot wound in the heel of my right foot, the bullet lodging between the heel bones. An army surgeon attended and informed my parents after his examination that to remove the bullet would leave me with a stiff foot, and it was decided not to have the operation performed.

My wife and I became interested in Christian Science and about the first thing we thought of was the removal of this bullet through the application of the truth. After eleven years of earnest work the demonstration was made; the bullet came out without any discomfort or pain whatever and with no other treatment but Christian Science. The wound is perfectly healed and the foot is just as good as ever. This had been an open wound for forty years and called for daily attention. To say that I am grateful to God for this healing is hardly enough, and I do hope that this testimony may encourage some one else to hold fast to the truth for the final manifestation of the healing, because it will come sometime and in God's way.—Frederick E. Ernst, St. Joseph, Mo.
