God's Detroit Tribune and President
Eisenhower's Recovery

must share an additional blessing with you:
Republican of prominence said to that recently
in Washington a said to him that Andrew Fruehauf
and the Detroit Tribune brought about the drastic i'm
provement in President Eisenhower's health!
would not accept such tribute 1907. We know
how Fundamentally the Christian Science movement
has supported the President and the Monitor has been
of valuable aid to the Government.
But did write up the President numerous oc-
casions-three times at great length-based the
Bible and the Christian Science textbook and
than years experience in their study and the apPl-
cation of infallibIe Christ Science Truth!
On this last occasion sent Mrs. Eisenhower three
skeleton copies of the paper, marking with red
pencil and included skeleton copy of earlier edi-
ton of paper, touching upon the family success.
In week or less the President appeared on an
early morning TV program with Mr. Hilton, the hotel
man. His appearance very good, indeed, but "
makeup probably claims credit His voice was
most impressive and after lunch that day it occurred
to me that person hearing the President and who had
not been informed of the belief of illness, would
have suspected it!
Christian Science has richly blessed the families OF
my three brothers and dear sister-and many OF
you know how richly it has blessed me.
But | am more grateful for the certain knowledge
THAT THE INCREASING MOMENTUM OF THE
CHRISTIAN SCIENCE MOVEMENT is
BLESSING THE ENTIRE RACE!
