To have proved by actual demonstration the truth of the Scriptural text, "The word of God is quick, and powerful," is one of the innumerable blessings that has come to me through the study of Christian Science.

Two years ago, a visit to the dentist resulted in a diagnosis of pyorrhea. The condition was found to be so serious that he could not proceed with treatment. I was given a prescription for a medicine which was to be used copiously morning and night for five days, and then, if the inflammation was allayed, the treatments, which were to cover a long period of time, would be started. Upon leaving the dentist's office I telephoned to a Christian Science practitioner, and absent treatment was started at once, followed by relief the next morning. After five days I returned to the dentist knowing that the discordant condition had been entirely healed. It was interesting to see the expression on his face and to hear his exclamation: "What is this! You are entirely healed!" And indeed, there was no trace then, nor has there been since of that disease.

Gratitude is voiced not for the healing, per se, but for the proof that spiritual law supersedes every so-called material law. For Mary Baker Eddy, God's messenger to this age, I have the profoundest love and appreciation.—(Mrs.) Belle R. Matthews, Cedarhurst, Long Island, New York.
