A Remarkable Healing

known for over quarter of cen
tury was healed when Il very Young
nan OF pulmonary disease a con-
dltlOn considered very serious by the
medical profession. The physician
in attendance had toll the BOYS
parents that he must be removed to
hospital for an operation which at
best could give him only temporary
relief. His mother. who had been a
student of Christian Science for
about three years, told him frankly
OF his condition and the physicians
verdict He thereupon decided to
turn to Christian Science and RELY
upon II solely toE his healing This
stand was taken at about eleven
O'Clock one morning. He and his
mother began to read the Bible and
the Christian Science textbook to-
gether, his mother helping hlm with
Christian Science treatment AT two
O'Clock on the same day he realized
that he was healed. The next morn
ing when the physician arrived he
found my friend dressed ana ready
to go to his Worl.. The physician,
aStounded. insisted upon making an
examination, Whereupon he found
! complete healing Of the condition.

SlGered a phN NSiOlO2lCal impO,Slbllty.

! tlCe he had never seen such an OG-
| currenCe, in fact. when told that my
friend had turned to Christian Sci
