Some time ago I was asked whether Christian Science really heals and if so, whether the healings are permanent. I was glad to answer affirmatively, because this Science has permanently healed me of scarlet fever and rheumatic fever. I had these diseases at the same time. The attending physician said that I had but a few hours to live and that if by some miracle I should survive, I would be disabled for the rest of my life. He told my parents that he had done all he could medically, but that he had heard of a religion called Christian Science, which heals the sick; and he recommended that they try it for me at once.

My parents knew nothing of this Science, but they remembered that a relative in a distant city had mentioned in her letters that she had been healed of blindness and tuberculosis through its teaching; so they immediately sent her a telegram asking for help. The following morning, much to the amazement of the physician, I not only was alive but so much improved that he could scarcely believe what he saw. In a very few days I was completely well. The physician asked permission to give me a thorough physical examination, for he thought that some part of my body must be impaired. Permission was given, and not even a minor difficulty could be found. He gave full credit to Christian Science for the healing. During the more than thirty-five years since that experience I have loved and used this Science continuously.

My husband and our two sons have had only Christian Science help for healing. Our sons have been quickly healed of measles, chicken pox, whooping cough, and colds. I shall ever be grateful to God for Mrs. Eddy, who truly gave to the world the pearl of great price.—(Mrs.) Audrey Colby, Indianapolis, Indiana.
