As a result of a wonderful instantaneous healing in our home, we became interested in Christian Science about twelve years ago, and although at that time I was definitely antagonistic to what, in my ignorance, I understood Christian Science to be, the proof afforded by this remarkable demonstration of healing was so emphatic I could not but seek the explanation. After reading the first chapter of the textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mrs. Eddy, on the subject of Prayer, I knew I had found a truth that many years' regular attendance at an orthodox church had never revealed.

At this time I was suffering great pain, caused by a misplaced tooth breaking through the roof of my mouth. It had been X-rayed, and the dentist advised an immediate operation, as he informed me the tooth was septic, and serious consequences would ensue unless the operation was performed at once. However, in view of the healing which had just taken place in our home, I decided to consult a Christian Science practitioner, who pointed out to me very clearly the unreality and powerlessness of disease to produce evil results. I asked for help, which was at once given, with the her that the pain vanished, and the operation was never performed.

Since that time, Christian Science has been our only physician, healing me, my wife, and our four children of many of the ills to which flesh is heir. We try to express our gratitude to the Discoverer and Founder of Christian Science by striving day by day to act in accord with her words on page 3 of the Christian Science textbook: "Gratitude is much more than a verbal expression of thanks. Action expresses more gratitude than speech."—Francis Henry Beardshaw, Four Oaks, Birmingham, Warwickshire, England.
