I wish to try to express some of the gratitude I feel for Christian Science. Isaiah says, "I will mention the lovingkindnesses of the Lord." I feel that words are inadequate more than to mention the loving-kindness I have received since taking up the study of Christian Science. I have been healed of periodic neuralgia of the head and stomach of years' standing, and many minor ills. I was instantly healed of the lifelong habit of biting my nails, and in two treatments from a Christian practitioner a broken rib was healed.

As nearly every one writes of the healing power of Christian Science, I wish to tell of its protective power. Several years ago when I was a very young student of Christian Science and my husband had not taken up the study, our large grain elevator needed a new roof. A workman was employed and by night-time had finished one side of the roof. In the morning it was snowing and the wind was blowing so hard that he could not continue the work, and it looked as if much of the grain would be ruined. I knew that there is nothing impossible with God and I read and reread the ninety-first psalm many times, especially the fifteenth verse, "He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him." About half past three in the afternoon I looked out. The wind had gone down and there was a man on the roof sweeping off what little snow was on it. By night the bins were sufficiently covered so that not a grain of corn was injured, although the roof was not finished for some time.
