A little more than four years ago my two sons and a nephew, then an eight-year-old member of our household, were sent home from school, because the nephew manifested evidences of diphtheria. This decision was reached when a throat culture was taken. Christian Science help was given at once. In the evening, when a health officer examined the boy, he called him a curiosity; for, though manifesting symptoms of the disease, it was evident that he felt no physical discomfort. The house was quarantined, but this was lifted in three days; for in the examination made by the official on his succeeding visits no further evidence of the disease was found. The sense of gratitude felt when the children were sent home, because of being forewarned, which was being forearmed, helped to accomplish much before the kindly physician came to make the required examinations. Even amid the evidence of material sense, even while the house was placed under quarantine, the thought was held that God's law is ever operative, protecting His children. The clearing up of this condition was thorough and quick. However, others manifesting similar troubles were confined to their homes for a month or more, and in some instances the cases were fatal under medical care.

The experiences in our home have proved Christian Science a constant protection. The so-called children's diseases at times have come, but have always been disposed of quickly when the truth was applied. I am most grateful to our Leader, Mary Baker Eddy, for revealing this practical, scientific method of healing all our ills. Its comfort is being constantly demonstrated to mankind.
