Less than a year ago, when nothing but trouble seemed to encompass me, I was led to Christian Science. My mother's copy of Science and Health was always lying on the table, but I scarcely ever read it. One day, however, the mental conflict was so great I commenced reading in the hope of obtaining peace. Every day since then my companions have been the Bible and Science and Health. At that time I had a very serious eruption on my face, which had been there two years. We had consulted several physicians, and used every remedy suggested to eradicate it, but they proved useless. I had given up all hopes of its ever being healed, as the physician we last consulted, pronounced it tuberculosis of the skin, and incurable. A few weeks after I commenced reading, I was amazed to see it almost healed over, and to-day my cheek is perfectly smooth, while the scar is disappearing.

In April my baby was born with only the practitioner and a lady friend present. I suffered scarcely any pain, and the third day I went down-stairs. I am able to nurse him,—a privilege of which I was deprived with my first child. He is a picture of health, having never been sick a day since he was born.

It would be impossible to express the love and gratitude I feel for Mrs. Eddy, through whose unselfishness we are enabled to enjoy these blessings. I have not the advantage of a church here, but we read the Lesson-Sermon every day, and are striving to follow nearer and nearer in the footsteps of our Lord and Master, Christ Jesus.
