I am, indeed, grateful to be afforded the opportunity to testify to the benefits I have received in Christian Science. In the fall of 1918 my husband was in the service, stationed at one of our large cities. I joined him in September. During the latter part of the month Spanish influenza became prevalent in the camp. My husband suffered from it, but was healed in a few days through the work of the Christian Science Camp Welfare worker. In a few days I, too, suffered from it; and grew steadily worse. My husband became alarmed, and decided to take me to my parents' home. He also telephoned to a Christian Science practitioner at our home for help. I was too weak to hold a coat on my arm. During most of the trip home, which took a day and a night, I was in a comatose state. I know that it was through the Science help I was receiving that I was allowed to remain on the train.

By the time we reached home, a great many complications had set in,—pneumonia, deafness, swollen limbs; and I was unable to speak distinctly. I was also unconscious part of the time. In order to satisfy a relative, we allowed a doctor to make an examination. From his remarks and attitude it was quite evident that he did not think I could possibly recover. However, through the faithful work of the practitioner I was entirely healed; and able to be out in several weeks. It was indeed a wonderful demonstration. Most similar cases, under medical attendance, were fatal.

This is only one of the many healings I have received through Christian Science. I am indeed glad to give this testimony.—(Mrs.) Edith Fern Teats, Los Angeles, Calif.
