  	    As a mother of a family my heart goes out in love and
  	gratitude to that good woman we are privileged to call
21	our Leader, for all she has done through her book for me
  	and mine. 
  	    Ten years ago I was healed of hereditary deafness and
24	catarrh of the head, simply through reading the book,
  	Science and Health. For years previous I had consulted
  	and taken treatment from some of the best specialists
27	for the ear and throat, both in England and America,
  	but grew worse all the time. I was then urged by a lady
  	who had been healed through Christian Science to buy
30	this book and study it. I did so very reluctantly, but
1	had not read fifty pages before I felt I had indeed found
  	the truth which makes free, and can truly say, from that
 3	time I have never had a return of the ailment. 
  	    That for which I am, however, most grateful, is the
  	daily help it is to me in my household of young chil-
 6	dren. I am sure if mothers only knew what Christian
  	Science truly means they would give all they possess
  	to know it. We have seen croup, measles, fever, and
 9	various other children's complaints, so-called, disappear
  	like dew before the morning sun, through the applica-
  	tion of Christian Science, — the understanding of God
12	as ever-present and omnipotent. It has been proven
  	to me without a doubt that God is a very present help in
  	trouble, and wh...at a blessed help this wonderful truth is
15	in the training of our children, and how quickly the child
  	grasps it. 
  	    Some time ago my little girl, then three years old,
18	dislocated her shoulder. I was alone in the house at
  	the time. The pain was so intense that she became
  	faint. I treated her the best I knew how, but kept
21	holding the thought that just as soon as some one came
  	I would run for help. She seemed to grow worse and
  	cried very much. I undressed her and tried to twist
24	the arm into place, but it caused such suffering that I
  	began to get afraid. Then like a flash came the thought,
  	What would you do if you were out of the reach of a prac-
27	titioner? Now is your time to prove God's power and
  	presence. With these thoughts came such a sense of
  	calm and trustfulness that I lost all fear. I then asked
30	the child if I should read to her; she said "Yes, mamma,
  	read the truth-book." I began reading aloud to her
  	from Science and Health. In about half an hour I noticed
 1	she tried to lift the arm but screamed and became very
  	pale. I continued to read aloud and again she made
 3	an effort to put some candy into her mouth. This time
  	I noticed with joy that she almost reached her mouth
  	before she felt the pain. I kept reading aloud to her
 6	until my sister and two boys came in, when she jumped
  	off her bed, so delighted to see her brothers that she for-
  	got her arm. She then began to tell her aunt that she
 9	had broken her arm and mamma treated it with the truth-
  	book. When this happened, it was about 10.30 A.M. 
  	and by 3 P.M. she was playing out doors as though
12	nothing had ever happened. — Mrs. M. G., Winnipeg,
