Christian Science has done so much for my family and me that I am grateful for this opportunity to express my gratitude.

My first visit to a Christian Science church was such an inspiration to me that I had but one desire before my thought—to learn more about this beautiful religion. For this reason I visited a practitioner. Since that time we have experienced many wonderful healings in our family.

The first healing was the falling away of two warts from the hand of my young nephew. During a Wednesday evening testimony meeting in a Christian Science church, a speaker told how she was healed of a similar condition. The next morning, as I was washing the child's hands, the warts dropped off, and they have never reappeared. At another time fever was overcome with the loving help of a practitioner, and the child was normal in one day. The same little fellow fell on a heater and received second degree burns over a great portion of his body. I could not reach a practitioner at the time, but in the light of Christian Science I saw the child's true selfhood to be perfect and spiritual. We repeated the Lord's Prayer, and before we reached his room he had stopped screaming. He was soon fast asleep, and slept all night. This was the end of his suffering. His mother, who was not a Christian Scientist, called a physician in the morning to dress the burns. Even this proved painless to him, and he insisted upon going to school and taking part in a play to be given that day.
