I should like to express my profound gratitude for Christian Science. Through the study and application of the truths found in the Bible and in the textbook, Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy, I have been able in some degree to prove that wonderful statement in the Bible (John 8:31, 32): "If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; and ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free."

My first healing came many years ago when I was in distress because of what I believed to be a goiter. I called on a Christian Science practitioner who asked me to read Mrs. Eddy's answer to the question (Science and Health, p. 475), "What is man?" which includes the statements: "Man is not matter; he is not made up of brain, blood, bones, and other material elements. The Scriptures inform us that man is made in the image and likeness of God." While I was reading, she gave me a Christian Science treatment. I went home entirely relieved of the distress, and there was no further evidence of a goiter.

My two daughters have also had healings through the application of Christian Science. Measles, chicken pox, mumps, and pinkeye were very quickly overcome. Sties on the eyelids and a severe earache disappeared after one treatment. About four years ago, while in the home of a relative, I had a serious accident and was sent in an unconscious condition to a hospital. When I became conscious, I was told that an X-ray picture showed that one rib had pierced a lung, that my nose was broken, and that a vertebra in my spine was crushed.
