It is simply impossible to count all the blessings which we have experienced in our family through the application of Christian Science. Of the many healings experienced I will mention only a few.
My first one was that of smoking, a habit of about twenty years' standing. The healing took place in a few days through my reading "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy. All desire to smoke vanished.
A chronic condition of recurring headaches was overcome. A case of insanity was entirely healed in a very short time. A broken bone in the foot was healed in nine days without any help from a physician. Another case of a similar nature was healed instantaneously. The need for a house has been met business and financial problems have been beautifully solved, and so-called children's diseases have been overcome, through our reading the textbook. We have proved what our beloved Leader, Mrs. Eddy says in 'Miscellaneous Writings'' (p. 307): "God gives you His spiritual ideas, and in turn, they give you daily supplies. Never ask for to-morrow: it is enough that divine Love is an ever-present help; and if you wait, never doubting, you will have all you need every moment."
For the privilege of class instruction from a consecrated teacher I cannot be grateful enough. This instruction and the association meetings have been a fount of blessings, helping me to know more of God and His indestructible relationship to man. I am also grateful for the privilege of being a member of The Mother Church. For all the authorized periodicals, including The Christian Science Monitor with its daily inspiration and right views about world situations, I give special thanks. Our beloved Leader was indeed led by God to give the world this fine paper with its healing influence. This testimony would not be complete without an expression of gratitude for the Sunday School, where our children are taught how to apply Christian Science in their daily lives. It is a privilege and a continual blessing to live Christian Science.

I am the one who experienced the instantaneous healing of a broken bone in my foot. The accident occurred when I alighted from the train at a remote country railway station. My first thought was that I hail nothing with which to bind up the foot, but then came the divine thought that Jesus used no bandages in his healings and that therefore I needed none. Then I felt the bone resetting itself, and I was able to walk again. The healing was so complete that I was able to walk without weariness along rough country roads. Also I have been healed of a stubborn case of constipation. I am deeply grateful to our beloved Leader. Mrs. Eddy, for her' great teaching, which we can apply for the benefit of all mankind.
