Many years ago, when only a child, I had what the physicians called a fever, and in a very dangerous form. After a long period of doctoring and nursing I recovered from the fever, but not from its effects. As years passed the suffering increased. Everything in the way of medical means was tried, but all these failed to bring the desired relief.

Then Christian Science was brought to my attention, and I decided to try it, with the result that relief came at once, and healing a little later. Now I am learning to seek Principle and to find true healing. In our home we are learning that when Truth is rightly sought, human needs are rightly met. As Solomon declares, "Understanding is a wellspring of life unto him that hath it." We are grateful for the understanding that comes to us through Christian Science,—its literature and other means of instruction.

I can truthfully say that I consider it a duty, with many attending privileges, to be employed as a teacher in a Christian Science Sunday school. While directing others to the "wellspring of life" I am enabled to gain more from that infinite source. The deeper meaning now comes to me of Mrs. Eddy's profound sentence: "The rich in spirit help the poor in one grand brotherhood, all having the same Principle, or Father; and blessed is that man who seeth his brother's need and supplieth it, seeking his own in another's good" (Science and Health, p. 518).
