Probably ninety per cent of our Christian Science literature...

Reginald B. Evans with contributions from Grace E. Becker

Probably ninety per cent of our Christian Science literature falls into the hands of those who as yet know little of this new-old healing truth. From the time I was fifteen until I was nearly thirty, I proved to the entire satisfaction of all, especially the medical faculty, the truth of Mrs. Eddy's statement that sickness is the result of sin. I became interested in Christian Science about four years ago, through a young man who saw that I was in need of "a cup of cold water" and who was not afraid to give it to me. I sent home for my Bible, and found the marker in Hebrews, where I had stopped reading a daily chapter nearly fifteen years before, although I had been a constant church-goer and took more or less interest in missions.

I am an engineer and have been out of employment on several occasions. At one such time I read Science and Health almost all day for several weeks, as I had nothing else to do and had not read the book before. One evening, as I was sitting at a hotel table, a telegram was telephoned to me from an entirely unknown quarter; and on three occasions since then, work has turned up for me almost as soon as it was convenient to accept it. I have been entirely healed of catarrhal trouble for which I had tried many remedies, but the principal things that I have been helped to overcome are the thoughts and faults that I then did not know were the cause of my sicknesses. I was plainly in need of a cup of cold water, but the young man who had the courage to give it to me would never have done so had not Mrs. Eddy had the courage to say that sickness is the result of sin. I have not taken any medicine in the past three years, and although my healing has been slow I am learning that health comes as we cease sinning.

I am glad to tell what Christian Science has done for me. It came to me after three years of suffering from a rheumatic trouble that was almost more than I could bear. The condition was pronounced incurable by two of our best physicians, and a number of others who were consulted concerning the case. One physician told my father there was no known remedy for the disease. The joints in both hands and feet were very much deformed. I was obliged to wear felt shoes, and I could walk but very little, as my feet were terribly swollen. What I endured could never be told. Everything was tried, and no expense spared; still I grew worse. It was in this condition two years ago last April that I accepted help from Christian Science. My mother became interested, having seen a case of healing a number of years ago, and she had hopes that I might receive help. The rest of the family bitterly opposed it. My mother met the expense of three weeks' treatment, and this helped me wonderfully. Since that time I have studied the text-book, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mrs. Eddy, and have never been obliged to ask for help. I am now helping my husband in his photographic studio. We walk twelve blocks every morning and night. I wear a heavy-soled street shoe, and can remove a ring from my finger that we expected would have to be filed off. Not only am I free from suffering, but my joints are gradually becoming their natural size. I am out in all kinds of weather, and it does not affect me in the least. I owe my life to this wonderful truth that Mrs. Eddy has given us, and for it all I am very grateful.
