Cocoanut Grove, Fla. (Society).—Introducing Judge Frederick C. Hill, a Christian Science lecturer, to his audience, Mrs. Mabel Reed Hyzer said in part:—

When Peter and John stood before the "Beautiful gate of the temple," it is recorded that they were importuned by a beggar who was also physically infirm. And Peter responded to him, "Silver and gold have I none; but such as I have give I thee." Then he healed the beggar quickly and perfectly. Many others had passed the gate before Peter and John, but Peter's discernment of the weak one's real need, and his ability to supply that need, led to the beggar's great life-experience; and we read that he walked and leaped and praised God. In the world to-day there is indeed great need of Peter's gift to the weak one; and the rules of Christian Science, based on the teachings of Jesus, are making this gift available.

Most of us who have become Christian Scientists did so because we had need of physical healing. The application of Christian Science does heal; and I am grateful that I have abundantly experienced that healing. But physical healing is only one of the results of the correct practice of Christian Science. Its teachings bring all good into the lives of those who consistently pursue it, and its students welcome each opportunity to express their gratitude for it, and to share it with others.
