Jesus came as the Wayshower to teach us the truth, and although it has been partially hidden for centuries, Christian Science is again showing us the way, through the self-sacrifice and love of our dear Leader, Mrs. Eddy, who has so faithfully devoted her years to the cause of uplifting humanity and who stands to-day as the exponent of the Christ-truth. I should like to tell of my experience with the practical side of Christian Science, as viewed from the human standpoint. Last winter my three little girls were taken, simultaneously, with scarlet fever, as diagnosed by two physicians of the Board of Health. No material medicine was given them, and the fever was broken in from two to three days each case. Every condition was met and destroyed; they were allowed to eat and drink anything they wished for, and although they were quarantined for several weeks, they played about the house, after the first few days, feeling perfectly well. We were warned to beware of after-effects,—all kinds of dreadful things. The first time we took them away from our premises it was to the Christian Science church, in a snowstorm, but there were no "after-effects" except enlarged appetites and perfect health.—A. H. Ackerman, Brooklyn, N. Y.
