I should like to express my deep gratitude to God for the truth that Christian Science does heal sickness, inharmonious situations, lack, and inherited traits and troubles. Mrs. Eddy says (Science and Health, p. 174): "Truth is revealed. It needs only to be practised." The rule is established, and if harmony is not demonstrated the fault lies in the application of the rule, not in the Science of healing as revealed by Mrs. Eddy. I am very grateful that I have learned this, for it has enabled me many times to correct my wrong thinking and to begin again with the truth of being.

Although our family have not been students of Christian Science quite a full decade, it is with a sense of looking back at a dream that I sometimes remember my former environments and years of sicknesses. How mental it all was! If for no other reason, I should be eternally grateful to Mrs. Eddy for showing us how to prove the truth of Jesus' saying. "The kingdom of God is within you."

When I began the study of Christian Science I had had five nervous breakdowns in eight years, and was on the verge of another. I accepted Christian Science after the very first few minutes of reading the chapter on Prayer in our textbook. And I am grateful to God that my husband felt as I did. The children started to attend the Sunday school and they had many healings. When my husband began studying Christian Science, he was wearing a surgical belt and was under the impression that he could do no heavy work, having just quit one position entailing such work. In less than six weeks he had disposed of the belt.

While in a military school, one of the boys was quarantined for scarlet fever. Because of the clear understanding of the practitioner, who recognized only spiritual law as governing man, the boy was released eight days before other boys who had been similarly quarantined.

One day while I was reading a Christian Science lecture, our youngest son came in with an attack of earache, crying desperately. I went to him and quietly said that since God is good and All, there could be nothing to cause him trouble. He quieted down, ate his lunch, and, the earache forgotten, returned to school. My gratitude knew no bounds for his receptivity to Truth. When he came home from school he came to me, and putting his arms around me whispered, "Thanks."

We have been very grateful for the lessons in obedience and reverence which the Sunday school teaches. Two summers ago, our youngest boy was acting as junior counselor in a camp. Two other boys and one girl from the same Sunday school were there, although the woman who was in charge of the camp, a doctor's wife, was not sure that she cared to have so many children from the Christian Science Sunday School as counselors in her camp.

One stormy day a boat was adrift, so the head counselor, who was not a Christian Scientist, asked these three younger boys to go with him in the sailboat to bring it in. As it was told to me, he had been refused permission to take the sailboat, but the younger boys did not know it, so they went with him. When quite a way out from shore, the boat capsized. Efforts to right it were of no avail. Then the counselor said that it was no use and he would swim to shore for help. The three boys tried to dissuade him, for they had been told that if a boat ever capsized they were to cling to it with their lifebelts on and they would eventually get back to shore, but he did neither. Our boys began to work in Science, singing hymns that they knew, as they sat and hung onto the boat as best they could. They were finally able to right the boat, and began drifting towards shore, where they were picked up about three hours later, none the worse for their experience. The counselor's body was never recovered. The next day the woman in charge of the camp drove many miles to the nearest town and asked the First Reader of the Christian Science church to come out and talk to the boys, which he did twice. Their thought was so completely healed of fear that all of them like being on the water now. One is at present in the Navy.

I am very grateful for this proof of the value of the Christian Science Sunday School's teaching of obedience, for it enabled those children to utilize the spiritual law that governs all, by their obedience to the laws of the camp.

I am sincerely and humbly grateful that my husband and I have had class instruction and are members of The Mother Church and also of a branch church. I can never be thankful enough to Mrs. Eddy for showing us how to prove the blessed truths that Christ Jesus taught and demonstrated, and for the undying and eternal promises of the Bible that maintain and sustain us in all situations.—(Mrs.) Anyce J. Davis Jones, Cincinnati, Ohio.

I am very grateful to verify the testimony of my wife. To be able to demonstrate Christian Science in a small degree in my daily work is an unspeakable joy. I am humbly grateful for class instruction, and for membership in The Mother Church and in a branch church.—Gomer M. Jones.

I wish to verify my mother's testimony about our experience on the lake. This was the first experience that really showed me the power of God. Now that I am in the armed forces. I am increasingly grateful for the understanding I have of Christian Science.— John E. Jones.
