In Christian Science we learn that the truth is of God; hence its healing power. The spiritual and mental uplifting, the assurance of knowing that God does answer prayer, brings us nearer to Him than we ever were before, and we can realize the truth of Jesus' words, "Ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." Since coming into Christian Science I find myself free from many ills to which I was in bondage, and I am most grateful to Mrs. Eddy for that wonderful book Science and Health, which is indeed a "Key to the Scriptures."

About six years ago our little boy had a bad attack of mumps. My wife gave him treatment in Christian Science, and I proceeded to protect myself, for the thing we greatly fear generally comes upon us, and I had great fear of this disease. Next morning the swelling on the boy's face was not noticeable, and though he remarked that it felt queer, the discomfort was all gone by breakfast time.

In a few days I found that I had not eliminated all my own fear, for one morning I woke about four o'clock and found evidence of the disease. I did my mental work as well as I knew how, got up, ate breakfast, said nothing to the family, but on my way to work I stopped in a Scientist's office and talked with him a few minutes. He assured me there is but one creator and that His creation is perfect; he counseled me to do my part aright, and God would do the rest. By five o'clock that evening my trouble was over.
