My only child was healed by Christian Science of a disease doctors had failed to cure. Before leaving me the healer said, "Now try to realize he is God's child.

It may be a help to some one who is striving for light if I relate a recent experience which has been of great assistance to me in finding the path laid down for us so beautifully and clearly in Science and Health. About a year ago, a very dear friend of mine was led to read this wonderful book, and after reading it, she was convinced that she had there found the Truth, and that only by means of this Truth could she be healed of a dreadful cough which had followed her for three years, and which physicians had pronounced incurable.

A Thought suggested itself to me that I must write a little testimony to the Journal in regard to a demonstration I have had on the line of giving to the cause of Christian Science. Some years ago I was troubled in regard to money matters.

I Am learning, every hour of my life, more and more of the blessedness of that Science which is Christian, more and more of the wonderful joy now made ''present and sure" through the inspired teachings of our beloved Leader, and the practical demonstrations that constantly prove every statement in "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," to be absolute Truth. Having been delivered from many grievous beliefs, and snatched as a brand from the fire of material bondage, it becomes not only a duty, but a craving need, to tell all who will listen of the wonderful things now made "divinely natural" through the realization of the allness of Good.

The following bit of experience is related for the help it may furnish to those who have trouble with the financial problem. It is not claimed that the plan is new, but its application, as here illustrated, is believed to be decidedly practical.

I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me .

Over nine years ago I sat in the depths of despair, with no hope in my heart, no light, no joy, and no prospect of ever being happy again. I had laid away, one by one, my loved ones, until I was left in my home with only one daughter, and now I was told I must give her up too.

Business man of to-day, are you thoroughly satisfied with yourself? Are you satisfied with the health and strength, and with the unseen mind power which you possess to conduct your business smoothly, harmoniously, and successfully, whether the business capacity be executive or subordinate? Why is this business capital (for it is nothing less, as we will presently prove) of yours so very weak, uncertain, and discouraging in many ways? Why does it fail you so often, upset all your calculations many times in a season, destroy your most cherished plans, cause the cancellation of orders many, and the transference to loss and gain account of many charges you had counted on realizing? And again, and most important, why is this weakness responsible for the "skeleton in your closet," the presence of which few business men can honestly deny, and which is the sole cause of the great majority of failures in the business world? You may not know that this lack of strength and power is responsible, but nevertheless this is a fact, and a scientific one, and, as such, can be proven and demonstrated. Now, let us talk frankly and honestly, as one business man to another—no sentiment, no waste of words,—and to the point.

But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment For by thy words thou shall be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned. —Matt.
