Having received so much benefit from reading the many beautiful testimonies in the Sentinel, I feel in duty bound to add my mite in the hope that some suffering brother may pluck up hope and come and drink of the waters of Truth, and find rest as I have done. I am a miner and work in the mines for my living. A few days ago I was taken with a very severe case of grip. I had suffered from it in February or March of each year for the past fourteen years and was quite well acquainted with its symptoms. When treated by materia medica, which has always been the case up to two years ago, the attack usually lasted from two to four weeks, and then left some after-effects, such as cough, shortness of breath, etc., which would remain with me until the following summer. This time I was taken with it in the morning, and it appeared more than usually vicious; however, I did not allow it to stop me from going to my work, but I kept growing worse, and by evening I was scarcely able to walk to my home, about a mile from the mine. As soon as I arrived there I asked my little daughter Ruth, who is only eleven years old, to give me a treatment in Christian Science, which she did at once. I sat down by the fire and attempted to read Science and Health, but instead of reading I fell asleep and slept for an hour. When I awoke I found that my headache and sore throat had entirely disappeared; in fact. I was feeling perfectly well, and my belief in grip had vanished into its native nothingness.

I am indeed grateful for the truth as presented by our beloved Leader. Mrs. Eddy, and to our Christian Science friends who have so kindly assisted us in gaining an understanding of the truth that makes men free. Truly did the prophet say, "A little child shall lead them."
