In 1897 the truth was being whispered to me, though I then knew nothing of the teaching of Christian Science that heals and saves, but it told me there was something better than anything I then possessed. At this time I united with an orthodox church, believing that I had to do my part in the work in order to gain the results that follow Christian labor. The voice of Truth was still leading me on, and in the early spring of the next year Christian Science was brought to my notice by my wife. She had heard of it through a friend who had been healed of a very bad case of consumption, and who was then in perfect health. Through the information gained from this friend we purchase "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mrs. Eddy. We began the study of the "little book," and it has revealed the spiritual sense of the Scriptures to us in a very satisfactory manner, making the sayings of the Master so clear that we cannot help seeing and laying hold of the truths they contain. Like a great many, we did not come into Christian Science through the healing of physical disease, but we can say that it truly, heals all our diseases. Among the many things that we are thankful for is this,—that it teaches us how to prevent disease, thereby destroying it before it makes itself manifest on the body. It has cured the tobacco habit and many ailments of long standing, such as asthma, dyspepsia, nervousness, hemorrhage and sick headache. We cannot begin to tell the half that Christian Science has done for us, and we cannot be too grateful to our Leader for the great good she has done and is doing for mankind.
