It is a joy to testify to the healing efficacy of Christian Science. Many years ago, while serving in a Christian Science Sunday School, I was preparing to attend a business meeting for the officers and teachers of the Sunday school when I became ill with a severe case of tonsillitis. I had been in bed all day and was unable to eat solid food. A faithful practitioner worked for me, but about five o'clock in the afternoon I called her on the telephone and told her that I was not feeling any better and that I had a great desire to attend the business meeting. She said, "You cannot be kept out of your place." By six o'clock the fever and swelling had vanished, and at the appointed hour I was at my post and participated in the meeting.

While deeply grateful for the physical healing, I am more grateful for the overcoming of lack and limitation which held me in bondage for many years. This healing came by closing my mental door to error and opening it to the unlimited possibilities of Truth. I turned whole-heartedly to the Manual of The Mother Church and to the Christian Science periodicals. In the Manual (Art. VIII, Sect. 14) Mrs. Eddy says, "It shall be the privilege and duty of every member, whoi can afford it, to subscribe for the periodicals which are the organs of this Church." I thought of my spiritual income and the joy of having these impersonal messengers coming to my home, and found it most helpful to study the meaning of "organ." It is a privilege to serve on distribution or circulation committees, to patronize The Christian Science Monitor advertisers, and to tell the children about our great international daily newspaper, our Leader's precious gift to the world.

For many years I have been a member of The Mother Church and a branch church. For our countless blessings I am deeply grateful.
