It is over six years since Christian Science was first brought to my attention, by the healing of my brother's wife. He wrote me of her healing, and advised me to try Christian Science for earache, or abscess in the head, from which I had suffered more or less since childhood, and constantly for over a year. I had tried nearly everything in materia medica, with no relief. My brother offered to send me some Science literature, and even sent the address of his wife's practitioner, but I knew nothing about it, consequently did not believe in it. About this time, however, a young woman of our town returned from California after a year's visit. She interested many in Christian Science, which the people then called a fad. Through this a church has been organized, with a large Sunday School, and a building has been erected. After hearing of my suffering she brought me some Christian Science literature, which I tried to read. Through her faith, and her loving persistence, I consented to be treated, and in less than two weeks the ailment was entirely overcome, and several others also disappeared. Since then, every ailment manifested by myself and my three children has been met through the understanding of Christian Science. I would like to speak of a recent demonstration. I was returning home from the Wednesday evening meeting, and as I stepped from the car I did not notice that the sidewalk had been partly removed. My foot went between some planks, and I fell so that my knee struck the edge of one. A crowd was soon around me, with exclamations of pity and fear, and as some one tried to help me, I said I was all right. They lifted me and I walked into the station. I began to declare the truth, for to mortal sense the pain was very severe, but I walked six blocks with no inconvenience and reached home. The next day I found that my kneee was very badly bruised, and I again realized the truth and the needed help came to me quickly. Words fail me to express what Christian Science has done for me.
