I have experienced many proofs of the truth and practicability of Christian Science. When I first became a student of this truth, about four years ago, everything in life seemed wrong. My health was poor, my husband was without employment, and I was very much discouraged and almost without hope for the future.

Since that time I have been healed of heart disease of a serious nature, believed to be hereditary, by understanding that Life is not dependent upon the heart, but that I depend alone upon God, who is my Life. I have also been healed of an abscessed ear, pain, chronic constipation, fear of eating certain foods, and also of an indescribable fear which seemed to possess me nearly all of my waking hours. My husband has found satisfactory employment, and our needs have always been met.

There are five children in our home, and all have experienced many healings and much protection. Recently, through the help of a student of Christian Science, our small son was healed of a disease which almost covered his body. When I first noticed it I immediately started declaring the truth of being, namely, that man is spiritual, the perfect image and likeness of God. The following day, as there seemed to be no change, I wrote to the above-mentioned friend, asking for help, and in a week the trouble had disappeared entirely. At the same time our youngest daughter had a sty on one of her eyes, but the sty disappeared without any material aid. While I was writing of these healings to our friend, the little girl returned from school, and I found that a sty was manifesting itself on her other eye. In my letter I had already written that she was entirely healed. I knew the importance of being honest in our statements, and the suggestion came to me to erase the word "entirely." But I rejected it and mailed the letter. The following morning there was no trace of the disorder on either eye. This was definite proof to me that we need only to accept our "goodly heritage."
