Three years ago last November I was healed through Christian Science, after all other hope had failed. I faintly whispered that perhaps the old man who talked Christian Science was not as crazy as we imagined, and if materia medica could offer only a short time of life, after having prescribed everything that might make pain less, "Science" could not hurt, if it did not help. I had read a little in Science and Health, but had only grasped that it mentioned a "practitioner," so, strangers and friendless as we were, we wrote a few words to a Christian Science practitioner, telling of my dangerous illness, and confessing that we were unable to meet our daily needs, therefore could offer no money, and asking if, under such circumstances, a practitioner would or could help a needy one.

Help was not long in coming. I was soon almost entirely healed of every physical ill, at any rate I was free from pain, for the first time in all my life that I could remember. I have never been sick in bed but once since, and then but a few hours, until the truth was realized for me. So very much has been done for me in Christian Science that I have never testified to it because it would seem unbelievable, besides being too much to tell. To-day I had, for the first time, the privilege of listening to a lecture on Christian Science, and I feel I must at least acknowledge that I am grateful to God, and to Mrs. Eddy. Disease has already lost much of its seeming reality to me, but in the theatrical profession, of which I am a member, traveling continually and seeing perhaps the hardest side of life, because less guarded from the sight of strangers, it is sin that, to me, seems the hardest to overcome, and I plainly see the need of greater consecration and purification of ourselves before we can realize the truth about our brother.
