Letters to our Leader

with contributions from Bessie M. Houghton, Inez Droke

Laconia, N. H.

My Dear Mrs. Eddy:—Believing it will make you very happy to hear a little about the good work that is good done in Laconia, N. H., I write you. About three years ago I was healed in Christian Science, after medicine had failed and surgery was the only hope held out by the medical profession. After I was healed I came to Laconia, to be alone with God and to study this wonderful Word of Love which had come to me in a very dark hour. I soon found it my duty to arise and spread the good news; work came in the most unexpected and unlooked for ways. I did my best to express the truth, never doubting that God was working with me. A room was opened for the Sunday services and Wednesday evening meetings. It was also used as a reading room, where all your writings may be obtained. From few in numbers we have increased so that at times the room is hardly large enough. A Sunday School was started a few weeks ago with two scholars; last Sunday we had six, and one little boy has earned almost money enough to buy a copy of Science and Health. Many young people are earnest students and working to establish the Cause of Truth. I have seen diseases yield quickly when the truth was spoken; a case of instantaneous healing of a severe cold; warts that covered a boy's hands and arms healed in one treatment. A man was healed of the tobacco habit of thirty years' standing, by attending the meetings; the morphine habit healed; glasses taken off and eyes healed; and many others. All are to-day earnest students and workers in the Field.

It was my privilege, and a blessing that I daily realize more and more, to be called to the Massachusetts Metaphysical College last December. Since going through class, the nothingness of all phases of error has been proved to my own consciousness much more quickly. A dear woman with rheumatism, not able to go out or do her work, called for help, after I returned from the college class. To-day she is doing her work, attends the services, and is an earnest student of our text-book. Surely the fields are ready for the harvest. Love is expressed by the people and many thoughtful seekers are asking. What is Truth? My daily prayer is to be found worthy to lighten your burden as a messenger of good; to heal as the command is given.
