The seed of spiritual thought has been sown in Wheaton and is gradually bearing fruit. Several cases of healing have been demonstrated through Christian Science, all proving that as we put into practice our understanding of Good, divine strength is made manifest and good works do follow. During the long-continued ice storm last spring, when accidents were so frequent, a lady came to me with a dislocated shoulder. Her face was blanched with fear and she was in great pain, unable to raise her right arm. She said that she had fallen twice, and seemingly repeated the accident, so that the injury appeared to be two-fold. Her first thought was to go to a surgeon, but remembering similar cases that remained cripples after resorting to material surgery, she was led to ask for help from Christian Science.
Treatment was begun, and within an hour the patient found her hand on the injured side raised to her head without realizing that she had placed it there. The healing was not instantaneous: for several days thereafter any attempt to raise the injured a.m. again was accompanied by severe pain. The healing, however, was fully demonstrated after three and a half weeks' treatment.
