I am indeed most grateful for Christian Science and for the healings we have had in our home during the past seventeen years through the faithful and loving help of practitioners. Our two children, one eighteen and the other thirteen years old, have attended none other than the Christian Science Sunday School. There have been many healings in our family, among them the healing of measles, whooping cough, chicken pox, warts, bilious attacks, an abscess on the lower jaw, earache, eye trouble, enlarged tonsils, and deep cuts on the children's heads.

The healing that seemed like a miracle to me was that of our son when he was about eleven years old. His limbs and feet began to swell and he became helpless. We had to carry him upstairs to bed, and even the bed clothing touching his limbs would make him cry out. I called a practitioner, and in five days the boy began to walk by holding to chairs, and in ten days he was free. This occurred during the Christmas holidays, so he did not miss one day of school, and we were indeed happy to see him kicking a football and doing all the other things that normal, healthy children do. Just one year from that time the same thing came up to be overcome again by the same faithful practitioner who had helped us through the first ordeal. This time it was healed in a few days. That was over seven years ago, and this trouble has never again returned.

The first time I read "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy I was healed of constipation which had troubled me for years. I have also been healed of hemorrhoids. These are only a few of the many blessings we have had. Is it any wonder that I am so grateful to be a member of The Mother Church and of a branch church?—(Mrs.) Lida R. Hoffman, Toledo, Ohio.
