I can never fully express my gratitude for Christian Science and the many blessings it has brought to me and my family. I have had many physical healings through this wonderful truth, including those of weak eyes, weak heart, a violent temper, common cold, sick stomach, toothache, constipation, and, instantaneously at a Christian Science lecture, bleeding piles. A number of years ago I fell on the ice on a sidewalk and broke my left elbow in three places. The doctor who set the bones later told me that it was the worst crushed elbow he had seen in thirty years of practice and the only one he had ever seen that was completely healed. I had help from a practitioner during this experience and in a short time had regained the complete use of my arm, which was not at all deformed. All the doctor did was set the bone. Christian Science treatment did the rest.

Some time ago it appeared necessary for me to change my employment. In looking around for a place to go, I decided on California, where I had once lived. I did not ask a practitioner's help, but did my own work, recalling God's promise (Ex. 23:20), "Behold, I send an Angel before thee, to keep thee in the way, and to bring thee into the place which I have prepared." Within a few days after reaching California, I had a good job. A week later, with no effort on my part, I had a better one. A few months later I had a job that paid the highest salary I had ever received. A year and a half later I received a promotion and a substantial raise. Problems of supply have been solved both with and without the help of a practitioner.

Christian Science helped me in 1943, at the time I met my future wife in England. The general to whom I had to apply for permission to get married was against the idea of any officer under him marrying a girl of a different nationality. When I found this out, I went to a practitioner for help. Twice our request was turned down, but we held to the truth and, following the recommendation of the practitioner, we applied a third time. This time, permission was granted, just twelve hours before I was scheduled to leave London for the United States. It takes at least three days to get married there, and to mortal sense we were again faced with defeat just as we had achieved our hopedfor goal. Again we declared the truth, and my orders were changed at the last minute, permitting me to stay in London two weeks longer.
