When I heard of Christian Science about three years ago, I did not know what it was, but I was willing to try anything, for I had outgrown all belief in medicine. I think the world cannot be too grateful to Mrs. Eddy, for only those who have passed through a struggle can realize the burden that is lifted from them. Was it any wonder that when the practitioner told me on my first visit to stop all worry, I laid down a great load, which I had carried many years. I was able to see the light and did not have to walk in darkness any longer. I am the mother of eight children. The baby was born in Science and the younger children have never had to learn the old way. I try to bring my children up in love instead of fear, and during these years we have had many proofs of the power of Truth in our family. I am also thankful that my husband has always stood courageously by me in all our trials and victories. I find the Comforter always present. My husband and myself had the privilege of joining the church here several years ago and The Mother Church last fall. The children were all ready to accept this blessed truth. Space would not suffice for all the demonstrations we have had, but one I would like to tell. My father, some seventy years of age, had a very sore leg, as long as I can remember, and no medical aid could help in the least, even to relieve the pain. I did not then understand the power of Truth, but thought if I could get him a copy of Science and Health in the German language he might be relieved. While I was reading Science and Health through the first time, the leg was healed entirely and he has had no trouble since. For this and all else, I am most grateful to God our Saviour,—the only true Physician,—also to Mrs. Eddy, our dear Leader, and to the practitioner who worked so patiently to show me the way. I am also thankful for all the Christian Science literature.
