During the last twenty years I have experienced many healings in Christian Science, which I feel prompted to share as I remember the help I have received from reading testimonies in the Journal and Sentinel. One of my first healings came after I ran a hatpin through one of my arms. I did not feel alarmed, but tied up the arm until a practitioner could be called. The arm was discolored for a week or ten days, but I experienced no pain whatever. Other healings were of influenza, blood poisoning in my foot, stomach trouble, earache, grippe, and headaches.

For many years I had Christian Science help and, as it seems to me now, I was interested just for the loaves and fishes. Only in the last few years have I realized what a privilege it is to be a member of The Mother Church, also of a branch church. Church membership was the beginning of real progress for me, as there followed appointments to different activities through which I have experienced steady growth.

I should also like to mention that I never realized how Mrs. Eddy was spiritually guided step by step to the revelation of this great truth until reading "The Life of Mary Baker Eddy" by Sibyl Wilbur. This made Christian Science seem so much more dear to me. The Wednesday evening meetings have also been an unceasing source of spiritual inspiration to me. Words can never express my deep gratitude to our revered Leader, Mary Baker Eddy, who gave us this healing truth, the understanding of which can be gained only by earnest desire, constant study, application, and heartfelt gratitude. Mrs. Eddy says on page 10 of Science and Health: "Seeking is not sufficient. It is striving that enables us to enter."—(Mrs.) Doris R. Winegar, Kenosha, Wisconsin.
