It is thirteen years since we became interested in Christian Science. In that time we have had many proofs of the power of Truth. About two years ago my aunt was healed of influenza. It was several months before the ailment entirely disappeared, but we knew that all things are possible with God, and with constant work it was overcome. This summer my uncle was taken with sciatic rheumatism. For three months he could not move in bed without intense pain, but he slowly gained until now he is entirely free, and we are all rejoicing. During these seeming trials we had a fine demonstration over lack of supply, so that, we were never without what we needed. I have been healed of headache, influenza, sore throat, burns, and colds; and scrofula, said to be inherited, was overcome for me in two weeks by Christian Science treatment.
For all these healings I am indeed grateful, but the spiritual understanding is far more to me. I have found a better working basis and am more able to help myself. I am thankful to God, and grateful to Mrs. Eddy for giving us our literature, which is a great help.—Des Moines, Iowa.
