I feel that it is time for me to express my gratitude in the periodicals for the blessings which have come to me and mine since I began the study of Christian Science. At that time I could see nothing but deepest sorrow and trouble; but I soon found that I had much for which to be grateful, and my experience became happy and harmonious.

Four years ago I had a seizure, losing the control of the right side of my body. I was working in the garden of a house where a Christian Science practitioner lives. Directly I fell, she saw what had happened and came to me and helped me to arise. We walked round the garden declaring the truth as it is taught in Christian Science.

Mrs. Eddy writes (Science and Health, p. 201), "The way to extract error from mortal mind is to pour in truth through flood-tides of love." This is what the practitioner was doing. I asked her for specific treatment. She kindly gave it, and I am grateful to say I suffered no inability or inconvenience whatsoever. I was able to drive the car the same day. In the course of a few days I was completely healed.

A few months later I was faced with a glandular difficulty. I asked the same practitioner to help me in Christian Science. She did, and within a month the demonstration was completely made. I was healed.

Soon afterward I was asked by my insurance company to furnish them with a medical certificate proving that I was in a fit condition to drive a car. The company did not know I had been ill, and the request was in compliance with a rule relating to people over a certain age. I had a thorough physical examination and was given a certificate showing I was 100 percent fit.

My dear wife too has experienced the healing power of Truth, which never fails. Nine years ago she had a severe heart attack. She was not a student of Christian Science and asked for a doctor. He came and said he did not think she could live through the night. Although my wife was unconscious and I could not seek her agreement, I immediately rang the practitioner who had helped me before and asked her to take up prayerful work for my wife, knowing it would be her wish.

I told the practitioner what the doctor had said. She asked me to read to my wife from the Bible and Science and Health and said she would give her Christian Science treatment immediately. This was in the very early hours of the morning. I am happy to say that the following day my wife's heart was in a normal condition and has remained normal. Also, she has been healed of a growth in the throat through Christian Science.

I have had many other healings. I have been faced with lack of supply; but as I gained the understanding of God as the source of all man's spiritual good, the experience became an opportunity to prove more of the truths of Christian Science.

I am grateful for membership in The Mother Church and a branch church. I am also grateful for the privilege of class instruction and for the joyous experience of working in the church of which I am a very happy member.

The practitioner who has kindly helped me has repeatedly said that the best way I could express my gratitude was to give all the loving service I could to the Christian Science movement. To serve God and my brother men in this way has been my desire.— Horace J. Belcher, Worthing, Sussex, England.
