I should like to tell of some of the healings which have taken place in our family.

My husband was healed of tuberculosis in one treatment when he had no faith in Christian Science and no understanding of the subject, but saw the practitioner only to please me. He went into detail about all of his troubles, but the practitioner, not appearing impressed, asked him, "Do I look as if I had ever had that disease?" My husband replied, "No," for the practitioner looked very healthy. "Well, I have been healed in Christian Science," said the practitioner. "I also have been a traveling salesman like you, so I understand that what you need is to stop rushing to catch the first train to get business. Your business will be there. Also, you cannot get the other fellow's business, for his is there too." The practitioner then explained how good thoughts entertained would eventually displace evil thoughts in consciousness. In three days, without any more help, my husband was healed. He was also healed of the smoking and social drinking habits. For ten years he led a happy, active life, and this was a wonderful help to me, for we had five small children at that time.

Sixteen years ago my second son was healed of bone cancer. After he had Christian Science help for a number of months without being healed, his wife felt he should have an operation, and he consented. The doctor who operated on him said to me, "Your son has bone cancer, and materia medica can do no more for him." So he was brought home on a stretcher in an ambulance. He again turned wholeheartedly to Christian Science and in three days he was up and within a week walked half a block. Finally, the lower part of the scar opened and a painless elimination took place. He gained daily until he was in complete health.

I was healed of a severe case of nervous breakdown accompanied by painful symptoms which were alarming at times. I lost forty pounds and could find no relief. After some time I was given strength to attend a lecture on Christian Science and then to go to a near-by Reading Room. I spent hours and days in this quiet room. The librarian, seeing my need, helped me to rise above the terrible discouragement and nervousness and to attend church services. After several months, through her loving help, I was much freer physically and mentally and also freer from fear in many forms.

The happy week I spent at the Christian Science Benevolent Association Sanatorium on the Pacific Coast completed the healing. I regained the lost weight and strength and can now do anything I need to do with perfect freedom. I am most grateful for the uplift and freedom, the feeling of God's love and care for me and mine, and for the ability to do many things I have never before done. I thank God for His wonderful love and care for all His children.—(Mrs.) Lillian K. Clark, Glendale, California.

I wish to verify the statements of my mother in the preceding testimony. I also am very grateful for Christian Science.

I have seen the healings of my father and mother. I am the son who was healed of bone cancer and am very grateful for Christian Science.—John Clark.

I wish to corroborate the testimony of my mother and to add that I have had many marvelous healings in Christian Science, including a healing of rattlesnake poison, instantaneous healings of colds and headaches, and many more too numerous to mention.

During my service on Ie Shima in the South Pacific I felt God's protection very strongly. We weathered the big typhoon without even losing our tent, and I was able to sleep through the storm without fear; also to overcome many problems of confusion. I am truly grateful for Christian Science and for the amazing courage of our Leader, Mary Baker Eddy, who braved all to bring to us this pearl of great price.—Robert M. Clark.

My mother was sent to my home in very bad condition. I would say she had had a severe nervous breakdown. This condition was overcome so that she became well and normal in a very short time. I know that this healing resulted from the ministrations of Christian Science, and I am very grateful for it, as I am also grateful for the many healings which have come to my own family and to myself.
