When help was sought in Christian Science I knew little about this teaching, having heard it mentioned only a few times. My husband's father was healed through the power of Truth after the doctors had said he would have to be operated on for an abscess. He is a hale and hearty man of seventy-two years, and was the first one to advise me to go to a Christian Science practitioner before submitting to an operation.

I had been examined by seven or eight doctors at various times, and all had different advice to give. Finally, to satisfy some of my family, I went to Reno, Nev., and was examined again. This doctore said I had a fibrous tumor and would have to be operated on immediately. Having a fear of operations, I went to see a Christian Science practitioner, and treatment was given me. That evening I bought a copy of Science and Health, and the next morning went home on the train, a distance of about ninety miles. (I was not then living in Reno.) I studied this text-book diligently to get my health, and in two weeks was healed of the growth, also of asthma, lung trouble, and hay fever.

It is seven years since the study of Christian Science was taken up, and I never have had any symptom of illness. My husband has been cured of the tobacco habit, also of several ailments. My son has been healed of a serious throat affection, hay fever, and other troubles. I am indeed thankful that Mrs. Eddy has made clear to us this great truth, so that we can understand God. We are trying to lead others to see the truth, and are thankful to be able to help them in the way they should be helped. I have found health, happiness, and holiness in Christian Science.
