We had for three years been trying many of the best doctors in our city and many different remedies for our little girl. One evening on my way home from the doctor's I felt discouraged and despairing, and stopped at a friend's house. There I met a lady who heard my troubles; she said I ought to try Christian Science, and told me where to go for help. We had to be up much at night because the child would just scream with pain, and was getting worse all the time. We had never heard of Christian Science before and did not know what it was, but we wanted help. The lady spoke to me of God and His goodness, and asked me if I would trust Him, because all things are possible to Him. She gave me something to read and gave the child a treatment. That night we got up several times to see if she was all right, because she went to bed as usual, but never stirred. The next morning she got up and was singing all day, and skipping about. I was glad, and only hoped it would last. She has been well ever since, although when I took her she had a growth on each limb, about six inches long and about two and one half inches deep in the centres, and on one arm a lump as large as a hen's egg. That took a few weeks till it got smaller, for it was hard like bone. In a few months it too was all gone. We can never tell how grateful we feel to God and to Mrs. Eddy for this beautiful truth.

A few weeks ago my little girl had a very high fever and sore throat, but we read the wondrous book, Science and Health, all the afternoon and evening. I felt some fear and wanted to put a handkerchief around her neck, but she would not have it, because God did not need any help. Thanks for this truth.—Mrs. May Gilbert, Cincinnati, O.
