I did not come to Christian Science for any physical need but for a number of other things. During the healing of my mother I became interested, and the more I read in Science and Health the more I wanted to read, until I became aware that I had lost or got rid of a terrible disposition. For this blessing I am very thankful. I owe all I have to God,—my home and the peace and harmony that have come into it. Our little boy is nearly four years old and has never taken a drop of medicine, for he knows where to go and get help, that is, in the Bible. He will ask me to read to him when he does not feel right, and always says it makes him feel better. It is beautiful to see what God's little ones can do in a home.

Such ailments as measles, colds, appendicitis, severe headache, and a number of other troubles have been rendered null and void as we have proved our true relation to God. Our little boy got his finger pinched in a clothes wringer so badly that the nail dropped off and it seemed to be bleeding terribly, but that was all stopped in a very short time and he was at play again as though nothing had happened. We have much to be thankful for.

It seems a hard battle to fight to rear children in this thought when some one in the household is opposed to it, but it can be done, for I had this to meet for nearly two years. Now all is peace and kindness, however, and my husband is coming into an understanding of the birthright of man. I can truly say to any weary wife, that though the way seems hard to go without your husband, if you are faithful and work on, knowing that God worketh with you your husband will follow. Our home is not like what it used to be, but is now a home of harmony. I could tell of a thousand blessings but time and space will not allow me to do so. My daily prayer is to live a better, higher, holier life, to be an example for others, be worthy to be called a child of the kingdom.
