I should like to express my gratitude for Christian Science and for the many wonderful healings and blessings that I have received. I am especially grateful to God for a recent experience.

When I embarked for overseas duty I had a slight earache. I thought I was too busy to do specific mental work, and passed it off as just water in my ear from taking a shower bath. After we started our trip, it began to pain me quite a bit, and I could not sleep. I tried to solve the problem by reading and knowing the nothingness of error and the perfection of man, but I did not seem to be making any progress. Two of my friends, who are not Scientists, told me that I was going to report to sick call if they had to carry me. When the doctor examined me, he said that I had a broken eardrum and my ear was draining. He gave me orders to report back twice a day.

I kept doing my mental work and reading "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy. I even tried to contact other Scientists through the army chaplain, but this was of no avail. Finally, toward the end of the journey, the pain lessened. Just before we reached our destination I was told that I would never be able to do any flying and that I was to report to the authorities when we reached shore and they would probably put me in limited service.
