I first became interested in Christian Science about four years ago. At that time I had many ills. I was sent home one evening from my work by a doctor who told me that I must be very careful or I would have the grip, and, to mortal sense, I was very badly off. On my way home I stopped at a drug store and purchased some medicine, and when I was about to take a dose, some one suggested to me that I try Christian Science. I said I would do so. I notified a practitioner and went to bed, not expecting that Christian Science would do me any good; but as soon as the Scientist had my case I went to sleep and slept well all night. When I awoke next morning, to my surprise, the trouble had nearly all left me. I ate a good breakfast and went to my work.

I was also healed of granulated eyelids, for which I had tried many material remedies, even to blue vitriol, and they got no better; but with one treatment in Christian Science the ailment was healed. I have also been healed of stomach trouble, from which I always suffered until I came into Science, and that has been entirely overcome, also the use of profane language, to which I was addicted, and many other errors. My wife was healed of milk leg, which troubled her very much. I also had mumps, but it was driven out by the truth. We have two boys, aged three and five, who have been healed of many troubles by Christian Science. With the little understanding I have of this blessed Truth I am able to overcome a great many ailments, and I am thankful to know that God is ever present and ready to help all who put their trust in Him.

There is no church here, but we enjoy the study of the Lessons at home, and I trust that before long there will be more Christian Scientists here. I am sincerely thankful to God and to our beloved Leader for this blessed truth. I am also grateful to those who helped to lift me out of darkness into the light.—J. W. C., Norwich, N. Y.
