We have experienced many wonderful healings in our home through Christian Science. Some have been instantaneous, while others have required a period of growth and spiritual unfoldment.

A number of years ago our daughter missed a week of school because of a painful ear condition. This difficulty had interfered with her joy and health a number of times previously, but this time it did so in a more severe form. A practitioner was called for help, and progress was seen and acknowledged day by day. We held firmly in thought that harmony is the absolute fact of man, God's idea, and that nothing can interrupt or stop this harmony. As a result of our acknowledging man's true relationship to God, the ear opened and drained completely, and the healing has been permanent.

The same daughter experienced the setting of what appeared to be a broken bone in the arm on two different occasions, each time with the help of a practitioner. Both times the material evidence was very alarming. The first experience was an instantaneous response to the truth. She heard the bone snap back into place and soon was outside playing again. The extreme swelling and discoloration receded immediately. The second healing came more slowly and required great steadfastness. The first twenty-four hours seemed almost unbearable, but "Truth is always the victor" (Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy, p. 380). The fall term of school began shortly after this experience, and she was present each day with no one else being aware of her difficulty. By the end of three weeks she had complete use of the arm and took an active part in sports.
