I wish to express my gratitude for what Christian Science has done for me and my little family. For several years past it has enabled us to keep well and to meet the ailments which sometimes present themselves in a family of small children. I wish especially to tell of the healing of my little son from the effects of an accident. He was climbing over a fence when he lost his balance, his eye striking on the sharp edge of a picket. His clothing caught on a picket and held him up, or the accident would have been more serious. As it was, there was swelling and discoloration above and below the eye, the eyeball becoming bloodshot and twisted, showing that some of the ligaments which hold the eye in position were injured. My husband and I treated him in Christian Science, and as we had met so many attacks of sickness for ourselves and the children, we did not apprehend any trouble in meeting this one; but the eye did not seem to get any better. It had remained in this condition for about two weeks when a practitioner was called in for another member of the family. She had visited the house but once or twice when our little son said, "I am going to ask the lady to treat my eye." This she did upon being asked, and the next morning his eye was perfectly healed — all swelling had gone away, the discoloration had disappeared, and the eye had resumed its normal position.
For this, and many other demonstrations which we have had, I am deeply grateful to God, and to our dear Leader, Mrs. Eddy, for teaching us this truth which heals all our diseases. — New Orleans, La.
