M. Claer

In the spring of 1908 measles broke out in this town, and about half of the children in the schools were taken ill. In May our little foster-daughter six years old came home from school feeling ill, and I put her to bed. On the next day the eruption had spread all over her body, attended with very high fever. I immediately wrote to a Christian Science practitioner in Berlin, and waited for the treatment to be given. During that day the fever did not abate, but my firm hope was realized, for with the first treatment the fever disappeared entirely and did not return, and the child was soon able to get up and go out.

This experience has strengthened my faith, and all I can do is to give thanks unto God for the great help which was given us at that time, as well as later on. I also think with gratitude of Mrs. Eddy, who has shown us the way to the truth which delivers us out of the bondage of sin and suffering.—M. Claer, Tapiau, Ostpr., Germany.
