I am very glad to make an acknowledgment of benefits received from Christian Science. I first attended the meetings in Chicago in 1893. I enjoyed these services, and purchased a copy of "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mrs. Eddy, but as I did not then seem to understand its teachings, I put the book away and did not see it again until three years after, when I came East. I again attended meetings in my home city, and tried to read the book. I was told by a friend to keep on reading and I would understand. While attending these meetings, a throat trouble from which I had never been entirely free, vanished while I was striving for a cure of another and to my mind more serious trouble. This I have since been able to overcome by a faithful study of Science and Health.

Last winter I fell and injured my wrist. I had it set by a surgeon, and then telephoned to a friend for Christian Science treatment. After the first night (I had fallen in the early evening) I experienced absolutely no pain in it and used my fingers freely. I had the splints removed in three weeks, and am sure they might have been taken off much sooner. The doctor told me that in such cases the splints were as a rule worn six weeks, that the patient often suffered great pain, and that the hand was usually stiff and useless. Later he told me he had never seen such good results from that kind of an injury, as there was almost invariably a deformity, while my wrist was perfectly straight. Soon after the above experience I was taken ill with an acute ailment. I was also brought out of this condition in a short time by Christian Science, therefore I know I have cause to be very thankful for this truth, and for the good done through it to me and mine.

Although not yet wholly immune from sickness or accident, we have the unspeakable comfort of knowing where to go for sure relief, and such experiences teach us to be more faithful in our work.
