Diphtheria Healed

BY MRS. B. M.

I desire to relate how we found Christian Science an effectual remedy in a case of diphtheria. A number of children had recently passed away with this disease. A neighbor lost two children in less than a week. My fear of the disease became so great that I had not been able to overcome it when our little four-year-old boy was taken down with it. He asked his papa to treat him, but the next day he seemed no better. He was very fretful, and cried all day for me to read to him from Science and Health. When his papa came home in the evening he found the child was getting worse, and so requested me to take charge of the case. I did so, but it seemed almost impossible to keep awake long enough to treat the child. I tried as best I could, to know the Truth and see the nothingness of error. Finally the darkness disappeared, and everything was as clear as day. The thought came to me all is the beautiful, good, and pure. I did not try to work any longer. I went to sleep with these thoughts, and when I awoke during the night, they came to me as clearly as if some one said, "All is the beautiful, good, and pure." The next morning there was not even an appearance of diphtheria. He had eaten nothing the previous day but that morning he ate a hearty breakfast and was bright and ready for play.

How thankful we are that we have a faint understanding of this blessed Truth. How could we get along without it?
