I wish to express my gratitude for what Christian Science has done for me and my family. The first blessing received was the healing of my son, who had a high fever and was delirious. In six hours after a practitioner was asked for help his temperature was normal, and in twenty-four hours he was very hungry and ate all he wanted, without any ill effects, and the fever did not return. After this healing I was so encouraged I asked the practitioner if she could help me for a trouble I had been suffering from for several years, on account of which I was wearing a truss and was almost a physical wreck. I did not think I could ever be well again. She replied, "What cannot God do? If we are obedient we will get our reward." She gave me one treatment, and that evening before retiring, I argued with myself as to laying the truss off, which I had been compelled to wear for a long time. So the words came to me, "If we are obedient we will get our reward." I took it off, and have not worn it since, nor have I had any use for it since, which is seven years now. My daughter was also helped in her school work when it seemed almost impossible for her to pass her examination.
At another time my son, sixteen years of ape, met with a motor cycle accident. He was carried to the doctor's office and his wound dressed. They brought him home, and he was suffering very great pain. I called in a practitioner; she stood by the bedside possibly five minutes, and in fifteen minutes he was perfectly easy, and did not suffer any more pain; in three days he was able to go out riding with his friends. We have also been able to solve financial problems; for all of which I am very thankful to God and to Mrs. Eddy.— St. Petersburg, Fla.
