Like many others, I did not take up Christian Science for healing, but my interest was aroused when a neighbor invited me to go with her to a lecture. I have, however, received many healings, some through my study of Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy and others through the help of practitioners. Constipation and inflammation of the bladder in a severe form were cured through the study of page 385, lines 15 to 21, of Science and Health, especially the sentence, "Whatever it is your duty to do, you can do without harm to yourself." Numerous colds, which for a time threatened my singing voice, have been stopped through the study of lines 4 through 24 on page 393 of the same book. Rheumatism has been eradicated, and as a result of my study of "the scientific statement of being" (ibid., p. 468) pain in the back of my neck, as well as recurring pain in the breast, has disappeared.

I should like to tell how Christian Science protects one from disease. My first proof of this was when my youngest daughter came home from school with the report that one of her classmates had been taken home with scarlet fever. I started in, as we are taught in Science, to do my protective work, and she did not stay home a day, When my granddaughter was exposed to mumps, my daughter did the same protective work, with the same beautiful results.

For all the proofs of God's love and protection, for our beloved Leader, Mrs. Eddy, and for the literature and all the activities of the Christian Science movement, I am deeply grateful, also for the privilege of being a member of The Mother Church and of a branch church and of helping in a small way in the latter.—(Mrs.) Ethel Sprankel, Tulare, California.
