I desire to testify to the healing and regenerative power of Christian Science. This great truth came to our family when I was a young child, and when we were much in need of it. There seemed little to be grateful for in those days. I was the eldest of several small children, and a physician was a constant caller at our home.

My first glimpse of Christian Science came through a neighbor, who has remained a dear friend of the family. She explained that because God is all-power, medicine has no real power. I shall always remember the impression this statement made on me. The first healing I experienced was of pneumonia. I had been quite ill, but almost immediately after a practitioner came my breathing became normal; and in three days I was entirely well and outdoors. At that time I was wearing glasses for defective vision, including crossed eyes. The practitioner explained that as a perfect child of God I had perfect sight. I accepted this truth and a few days later, when my glasses were broken, I told my mother that I did not need them because I knew God would straighten my eyes. This new, true vision was made manifest a short time afterwards when I awakened to find the eyesd straight and vision clear. Subsequently through my school years frequent examinations showed my sight normal, and I have not needed glasses since, though a leading oculist had declared that I had the sight of a woman of eighty, should always need glasses, and might need an operation to balance the eyes.

Now I am proving the efficacy of Christian Science with a little family of my own. Our children have had many wonderful healings and are constantly protected. The eldest little girl, when fifteen months old, became ill with pneumonia. The condition was so severe that it was thought best to recall my husband, who was away at camp. He came immediately and on his arrival the baby was very much improved; and the next morning she was happy and free in her play yard. With the help of a practitioner Christian Science had again been demonstrated.
