Two years ago, when I was a boy of fifteen, Christian Science was presented to me by a dear friend at a time when the best doctors had pronounced my case a hopeless one. Paralysis had resulted from a severe fall, and all efforts of physicians had proved of no avail. I had grown steadily worse under its care. My parents had been told, as well as I myself, that there was no help for me and that I must die. For months I had been on a strict diet and was wheeled about in a chair, as I could not walk; neither could I raise my hand to my head. While in these desperate straits, the healing power of God was proved quickly for me, and I rejoice to be able to add this testimony to those of others.

From and after the first visit of the Christian Science practitioner, I was able to eat anything I wanted, and suffered no ill effects from so doing. In four days I could walk a few steps, and within two weeks I tramped miles on a hiking trip, outwalking my companions and returning from the trip free from any weariness. Since that time I have gone about my school work and other daily tasks with mental freedom and consequent physical ability to do whatever seemed necessary to do, and this year have played on the football team of the high school.

To glorify God each day is my earnest wish, and to prove the gratitude I profess, my highest ideal.
