I have been in Christian Science for something over...

A. C. Wright

I have been in Christian Science for something over three years, and have often seen its beautiful teaching worked out in my family, but being of a robust build from childhood I had little need of physical help until the occasion which I here relate.

I was on duty as conductor of an interurban train and some sixty miles from the terminal, when suddenly I felt a severe pain in my back, which rapidly became worse and soon affected my whole left side. It was with difficulty that I finished my run, and by the time I arrived at the terminal, two hours later, I could scarcely walk and could not lift my left arm at all. When I arrived home, after another half hour's suffering on a city street-car, my left side above the hips was useless and my face drawn so that I did not look like the same man. My wife then called a Christian Science practitioner and asked for help. I tried to lie down, and in the course of an hour or so I fell asleep, and when I awoke I was greatly improved and was able to get around fairly well. I kept on improving through the next day, and the third day I was completely well and able to resume my duties.

I am indeed very grateful to Christian Science, for it gave me almost immediate relief in this case, and I feel sure that if I had not known of it and had turned to material means for help, the result would have been very different.
