I should like to tell of a healing through Christian Science which I experienced while visiting in Boston two years ago. I was suffering from severe bronchitis. A Christian Science practitioner, sensing that the cough might be the effect of irritation or fear, advised me to affirm with a grateful heart that my true selfhood as a child of God had nothing to do with a cough or any other discord. In order to hold on to this truth. I tried to purify my consciousness with thoughts of Truth and Love, and after a few days my healing was complete.

I was grateful, because when I had had the same illness years ago and had been under medical care, the cure had taken much longer. The speedy healing through Christian Science was a proof of the presence of the never-failing Christ, or idea of God. The realization that all things are possible to God, who maintains His own image and likeness forever in perfection, brought me this blessing.

I am deeply grateful for Christian Science, for membership in The Mother Church, for the privilege of serving in many capacities in a branch church, and for the understanding which has come to me through the inspiration of class instruction and the yearly association meetings.—G. Henri Hemmes, The Hague, Netherlands.
