CHRISTIAN SCIENCE IN THE WAR
They said that I should be X-Rayed the next morning to determine at what point the operation of aspirating should take place.
“A few minutes later the Christian Science War Worker came to see me. He told me to remember the fact that God was closer to me than the air I was breathing and that nothing could affect me but good and that he would give me treatment.
“The next morning when I was X-Rayed there was not any indication whatever of fluid, and there was no operation.
“I am very grateful for the blessings given me through Science and I trust that each day will bring me to more fully understand the Truth as obtained through the teachings of Christian Science.

“Dear Brethren: I thank you most sincerely for the comfort received through your splendid Committee in a recent experience.
“Our son was in training camp near Boston, and we received word that he was in the hospital, a victim of the recent epidemic. Having had no further news for some days, and with the papers telling of so many cases of fatalities, we felt we must know how he was. I wrote to the Editors of the Christian Science periodicals, and my request was handed by them to your most worthy Committee. I at once received a message that our son was well enough to be leaving with his company for a flying field in the South.
“There is no Christian Science organization in the little frontier town where we are living at present and I had not known of the work before this experience. I am enclosing a check to help further this work of love.”
“I wish to express my gratitude for Christian Science
especially during the time I was in the army. During a year's
service I had many proofs of the protection of divine Mind.
