"Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits: who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases" (Ps. 103: 2, 3). My gratitude to God, our dear Father-Mother, to Christ Jesus, our Way-shower, and to Mary Baker Eddy, our forever Leader and the revelator of universal divine Science, is boundless.

Our two children were enrolled in the Christian Science Sunday School at the age of two years, and every so-called children's disease they have had has been met through Christian Science, sometimes with the help of a loving practitioner and at other times through our own understanding. Pneumonia, oak poisoning, eczema, and appendicitis have been healed. Family relations have been restored from discord to harmony.

During the time that I served as First Reader in a Church of Christ, Scientist, glasses were put off, and they have not been needed since. Also during this time I broke my ankle. The swelling subsided almost immediately, and although I could feel the bones rubbing together when I put my weight on the foot, there was no pain or suffering. Clinging steadfastly to the Bible verse (Ps. 34:20), "He keepeth all his bones: not one of them is broken," I never missed being in my place at the desk, and not one member of the congregation knew of the incident. Soon the ankle was entirely normal. These healings have been permanent.
