It is with deep humility that I express gratitude for Christian Science and share, with the readers of the periodicals, healings which I have had through applying its truths. These healings took place while I was residing in Boston, Massachusetts, where I was studying music and where I also had the privilege of attending both the Sunday School and the services in The Mother Church.

The first experience I wish to relate is a healing of laryngitis. I was unable to speak above a whisper for two days. Since there was no attendant physical discomfort, I ignored the situation until the third day, when I was to have a piano lesson. Then it occurred to me that my teacher, who knew I was studying Christian Science, might discredit the healing power of Truth should I not be able to speak out loud.

Immediately I began to study the Bible and Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy. I pondered deeply the truths from that week's Lesson-Sermon in the Christian Science Quarterly. My thought was lifted to behold the allness of Spirit, God, and the consequent nothingness of error. With this uplifted thought, I knew I was healed. Then came the suggestion, "Try your voice and see whether or not you can speak." Just as quickly, I recalled Jesus' words when he was tempted in the wilderness (Matt. 4:10), "Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve."
