It is with love and deep gratitude that I give this testimony of the great healing power of Christian Science.

Some years ago my first baby was born with water on the brain, and the bones on the top of the head were closed. The doctor said that the child could not possibly live more than two weeks. He called in another doctor and the verdict was the same. The child was removed to a private hospital, where the spine was to be punctured to remove some of the water and relieve the pressure on the brain, but with no hope of healing the child. The evening before the operation my sister came to me, and, although I knew nothing of Christian Science, she at once let a Christian Science practitioner know of the child's hopeless condition. When the doctors arrived next morning to perform the operation they found the nurses in a great state of excitement, for during the night the child had been perfectly healed.

During the three months that followed the child lost all trace of malnutrition and the bones on the top of the head separated in a normal way. The doctor could not believe it possible, so I took the baby for him to see. He said that I must have changed the child, as he had never seen or heard of a recovery from a similar condition. Some time afterwards the child's photograph took the prize for the most beautiful child-study in Australia.
