Letters to our Leader

with contributions from Velma Swanston, Wm. P. McKenzie, Emma Darnell

New York, December 6, 1905.

Reverend Mary Baker G. Eddy, Pleasant View, Concord, N. H.

Dear Mrs. Eddy:—May I add my quota of love and gratitude for all that Christian Science has done for me? Three years ago I was healed by this truth of an hereditary disease, which the doctors had pronounced incurable. I am indeed grateful for this, but most of all I want to tell you how this truth is taking root in Sweden. Two years ago last May, I made a trip to Stockholm, and while being entertained at a luncheon one day, many questions were asked about America. In the course of conversation, a sweet-faced little gentlewoman said, "Can you tell me anything about the new American religion they call Christian Science?" "Yes, I can," I replied, "for I am a Christian Scientist." I then told her of my own miraculous cure, and explained briefly some of the teachings of Christian Science. She was simply hungering to know more, but as I noticed that the other guests listened out of courtesy rather than interest, I said to her, "Come to the hotel with me after the luncheon and I will give you some of our literature and talk further with you on the subject."
