Healed after Many Physicians Failed

Hattie E. Gans

There is only a small handful of workers in Pierre, S.D., but we hold our meetings regularly Sunday mornings at eleven, and Wednesday evening. My boy, twelve years of age, and myself, being the only members of the Mother Church, are the Readers.

Some good demonstrations have been made. I will state two of these. I am a music teacher, and had a pupil who had very sore feet. Her feet at times became swollen, turned dark, and were so painful that she could not walk. She had been troubled during the summer for years, and the doctors had told her that she would be no better until she was sixteen or seventeen years old. She became so bad that she could not come for her lessons and so one day I went down to give the lesson. I was told by the mother that they had done everything they could, believing, as the doctors had said, that she must wait so many years before she could be free from suffering. I explained Christian Science to the mother as best I could, and did so in the presence of the little one. I told the latter that she need not fear anything. I told her that Christian Science would cure her. The mother said, "Oh, what would I give if she could only be cured!"

She, however, did not tell me to treat her, but I could not think of the little one without knowing she was God's own child, and I did deny the mother's fear, but gave no regular treatment.
