"O come, let us sing unto the Lord: let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation" (Ps. 95:1). With joyous gratitude and singing in my heart I offer this testimony of the power of songs of praise in healing.

A painful injury to my foot resulted from my slipping on a freshly polished floor. That evening I was to play a small portable organ at an informal meeting with some other Christian Scientists, and I did so with considerable pain. We practiced the singing of hymns in the Christian Science Hymnal, and we continued singing until quite late.

When I retired for the night, a sense of peacefulness came into my consciousness. At the same time I felt an adjustment take place in my foot. I soon fell asleep, and I slept the rest of the night. Upon awakening the next morning, I found I was free from any sense whatsoever of discord, and that day I walked a distance of a quarter of a mile to the post office. Although the discoloration and swelling indicated that a bone might have been broken, the foot soon regained its normal appearance. This healing proved that harmony comes from songs of praise and gratitude to God.

I am most grateful for all the activities of the Christian Science movement. I am also grateful for its Founder, Mary Baker Eddy, who so unselfishly presented Truth to the world in a way that all may understand and prove God's omnipotent power. Membership in The Mother Church and a branch church, class instruction, and the yearly association meetings have strengthened my trust and opened the way for greater activities in the journey from sense to Soul.— (Mrs.) Sarah R. Baker, San Francisco, California.
