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.

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

“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.
