When I realize that I have been interested in Christian Science for many years and have not expressed my gratitude through a testimony in one of the periodicals, I cannot help recalling the ten lepers who were cleansed, only one of whom returned to give God thanks. I do not wish to he numbered with the ungrateful nine, and it is with humble gratitude to God that I write of the main blessings which have been mine in the study and practice of Christian Science.

As a small boy I was painfully injured when I fell on the steps to our home, and my protruding teeth caused me to bite completely through my lower lip. A physician was called in and put court plaster on the wound. This was but a temporary measure, as he said he would have to take at least two stitches in it. The court plaster was barely on when I ripped it off. My father, who had recently been healed in Science of a severe hemorrhoidal condition, upheld my stand; and within a very short time I was healed, with barely a scar.

The healing just described is but one of many that have come my way. I have been healed of tonsillitis, malaria—instantaneously —pneumonia, influenza, strained back, children's diseases, and minor ailments too numerous to mention. Business and economic conditions have straightened themselves out, when to mortal sense they seemed absolutely beyond solving. The securing of a commission in the Navy during the late war was brought about for me by the work of a beloved and devoted practitioner.
