I was healed some nine years ago of severe nervous prostration and insomnia. As I look back to the marvelous spiritual uplifting that came to me then, and remember how I had to go back to the foot of the mountain and begin the ascent, step by step, my progress since seems very slow. We have had many wonderful proofs of the power of Truth over error in our family, some of which I would like to mention. My little girl was taken violently ill, with what turned out to be scarlet fever, and finding I could not meet the conditions myself, I sent for my teacher. In the mean time the second child was stricken down with the same symptoms. My husband (who is not with me in the Science yet) went to business with a heavy heart that morning, expecting to find a small hospital on his return. I shall never forget his look of surprise and relief that evening. The home seemed filled with harmony and peace. In place of fear and dread, there was hope and assurance. The eldest child was sitting up eating supper, and the second one showed no sign of any disturbance; in fact, the trouble was met so quickly that the manifestation never appeared at all on the body of the second child. The baby was healed almost immediately. About an hour after the first alarming symptoms had shown themselves, he was running around as happy as ever. I can never be thankful enough for these wonderful demonstrations. I have also seen a sprained ankle healed in three treatments, and typhoid fever, mumps, and severe headaches overcome speedily with the truth. I find that it is not enough to sit still and long for the light to become clearer to our consciousness. There is a great work to be done first in striving to cast out the errors that prevent the light from shining,—envy, anger, selfishness, malice, etc.,—and in proportion as this is done, the way surely grows brighter and brighter, unto the perfect day.
