Christian Science is a guiding star shining in darkness, and is leading me on and up to the bigger and better things of life. When I was a lad of seven a healing occurred for which I am indeed grateful. The symptoms were of complete paralysis of my entire left side, also inability to eat or speak. The doctors diagnosed the case as St. Vitus's dance and paralysis of the heart. The only hope they held out for me was that of trying to keep the heart going with the aid of a stimulant in the hope that I might outgrow the condition in seven or eight years. My family, being interested in Christian Science, decided to have the work taken up by a practitioner. Within five weeks the healing was complete, and I was free to play with the children of the neighborhood. This healing is a milestone along my path of progress.

With the help of a practitioner I was also healed of blood poisoning; and inflammatory rheumatism was healed in three weeks. I am most grateful for another proof of God's power to heal. Jumping from a falling ladder I severely dislocated an ankle and broke a bone in one of my legs. A physician was called to set the bone, and work was then taken up in Christian Science. Although it was two hours before the physician arrived there was very little pain and no swelling. The healing progressed rapidly, and I was in bed only one day, after which I was able to go up and down stairs with the aid of a crutch and cane. In ten days I was going about without either the crutch or the cane; on the thirteenth day I attended church services, and on the twentieth day I again took my post as usher. This healing proved to me once more that there are no material laws; that God's law is the only law, and that all is in reality perfect.

I am grateful for membership in a branch church and also in The Mother Church; for The Christian Science Journal, Sentinel, and Monitor, which are correcting the thought that Christian Science is for a certain people or a certain locality, and are proving that it is universal, for everyone irrespective of creed, color, or locality. It is indeed a great joy to know that God "healeth all thy diseases."
