I write in loving gratitude to tell of the peace that Christian Science has brought to me. I joined an orthodox church when quite young, and for twenty years I struggled for something I could not find; but I have found it all in Christian Science, the Principle of which was made plain to me in the study of "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mrs. Eddy. In 1906, when my baby was eight days old, I took cold and was seized with pain which was almost unbearable, and a sister-in-law who was present suggested Christian Science treatment; so I gave my consent to call a practitioner who lived just across the street (I then lived in Canyon City). The practitioner came at once, but I was fearful, not then knowing anything about Christian Science, so I asked her if she thought she could do me any good. She said, "God can." She gave me treatment, and all pain left me and I arose from the bed. But my fear was not all destroyed, so she treated me for a week, when I was perfectly healed.

My husband also was healed of rheumatism, and from the result of an accident, in three treatments. One of my boys was also healed in one week of a severe attack of fever. My boy was healed of acute lung trouble and a supposedly inherited cough, in one week. I have seen earache, croup, headache, and cough overcome by a knowledge of this truth, and I can say with the psalmist, "Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits: who for-giveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases."

Since leaving Canyon City I find that I am able to demonstrate for myself this Principle, and I find Christian Science, a "very present help in trouble." For all this I give thanks to God.
