I am very grateful for the many physical benefits received in Christian Science, which are, however, as nothing in comparison to the spiritual uplifting I have experienced through its teachings. For years I suffered terribly. My legs ached and I was unable to walk any distance. I fainted very often, each attack being, as it seemed, worse than the other. I was under the doctor for quite a long time and spent several weeks in bed. It is now about two years since I took up Christian Science. I was treated by a practitioner and was quite well within a fortnight. I am indeed pleased to say that I have never fainted or spent a day in bed since. It is good to know disease is not real, and that God, good, is ever present. I hope I may progress in this knowledge and be able to help others.

My boy was taken very ill one Friday evening. As my husband is not a Christian Scientist, he called a physician. The child was in convulsions, and from the first the physician said the case was very serious and that little could be done. The child himself called continually for a Christian Scientist, and at one o'clock the father went for a practitioner. She worked all night, and although the child at times seemed relieved, the conditions rather grew worse. Saturday morning a consultation of physicians decided there was no hope—no possible chance. As one of them expressed it, "There is nothing that we can do." It was the verdict that the boy might live through the night, but it was not probable.
