This morning, after reading some testimonies and being helped so much by them, I cannot wait longer but must write mine. I was a church member, and I tried to be faithful until these commands would come up to be honestly obeyed, "heal the sick" and "preach the gospel to the poor." While in a state of uncertainty our little baby girl was born. We used to give her paregoric and other drugs to cure the colic, and at last we gave her whiskey and water enough to strangle her. The thought occurred to me. Here am I, a Christian, and yet depending on these poisons to relieve my little darling. It is a pretty weak god that I am serving. My mother and sister were Christian Scientists and had helped me more than once, and they asked me to try Christian Science for the healing. I finally took the whiskey, drugs, etc., and threw them out doors, then repeated the Lord's Prayer with its spiritual interpretation, also the scientific statement of being (Science and Health, pp. 16, 468). Needless to say, our darling baby was relieved, and from that day till this, nine years, Christian Science has been our only physician. Space will not permit me to write of the many different forms of error that have been healed by knowing what God is, and by abiding in divine Love.
