I want to express my dep and profound gratitude for countless blessings and benefits that have come to me through the application of Christian Science. When it was first recommended to me by a dear friend, a little more than ten years ago, I was to mortal sense in a state of despair. As I look back now, I know that I scarcely had one organ in my body that functioned properly. This friend gave me some Christian Science literature which I read eagerly, as every article seemed to be written expressly for me. I shall never forget the joy I experienced when I realized that I had enjoyed the first solid meal and slept soundly for the first time in many months. I did not immediately realize that I was healed, but when it did dawn on my consciousness it was as though I had been awakened out of a horrible dream.

Since that time I have had many other healings. The most outstanding one was that of broken bones. Three years ago while motoring in the Allegheny Mountains, three hundred miles away from home, I met with an accident. The right leg was broken in two places and also the right shoulder. I called for help at once, and with the aid of a practitioner I was able to make the journey home by train without the slightest bit of suffering or discomfort. I was taken to a hospital to have the bones set, which was done without my taking an anesthetic. I received no medical treatment. The practitioner lovingly helped me through this entire experience, and the healing was very quick.

Words fail me when I try to express gratitude for what Christian Science has done for me. It has made me a healthier and happier woman than I ever was in all the previous years of my life. And my hope and prayer is that I may reflect more and more of this wonderful truth that has been given to the world by our revered Leader, Mary Baker Eddy. I am grateful for having been a guest at the Sanatorium of the Benevolent Association at Chestnut Hill, also for membership in The Mother Church and a branch church.—(Miss) Katherine E. Yoder, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
