UNSELFISH LABOR REWARDED

work the Christian Science War Relief Committee has done in our camp. In the reading room maintained by them, we have a nice, quiet place to study, write letters and read all authorized literature, which has been a great help.

“Christian Science War Relief Committee, Boston, Mass.:

“I am more than grateful for a healing of an attack of influenza, which took place last February. At that time I was located in a Marine camp at Galveston, Texas. It took considerable discretion to keep from being sent to the hospital for several weeks of confinement. This was avoided through the ever-ready helpfulness of the Camp Welfare Workers. They asked me to stay in their own home during the first afternoon I could get off from camp. I accepted their invitation and was at their home about the middle of the afternoon. By nine o'clock of that evening the perfect healing came and I walked back to camp knowing confidently that I was well. This is one of the many healings I received in camp which I am grateful for.

“I have been somewhat interested in Christian Science for about six years and have received some benefits from the study thereof, but it was not until after entering the army that I was brought to realize the great power of divine Love.

“Recently I was obliged to go to the base hospital as I was suffering from double pneumonia. While there I was examined one evening by the assistant chief of staff and they

decided that what was called fluid was on one of the lungs.
