Our Leader. Mrs. Eddy, says on page 406 of Science and Health, '"The Bible contains the recipe for all healing." My gratitude for her is unbounded because she has illumined the Scriptures through her works, and I should like to tell of four healings brought about through the application of Christian Science.

At a time when, although I had begun to study Science, I was training as a medical nurse, I became ill with a heart difficulty. As a resident nurse, I had no alternative but to be warded. The authorities insisted on a specialist being called. My condition was so serious that the specialist said I could not live for more than an hour. At my request he agreed not to give me any medication whatever, telling the matron that I was beyond human aid anyway.

In the meantime I had asked a practitioner for Christian Science treatment, and I could still think. I saw clearly that God is man's Life and that He is All. I rested in this truth and remembered nothing else until after a few hours. Then I opened my eyes, conscious that God is my Life. Christian Science treatment was continued, and six weeks after this experience I was completely healed. I have enjoyed normal health ever since.
