Through demonstration Christian Science has made the presence of God a conscious reality. After studying Science and Health on two different occasions with the idea of helping members of the family, I discovered that I needed to be healed. By the time Science and Health had been read half through I was convinced that Christian Science is God's law, the truth, and I did not need to see a physical demonstration of its power but knew intuitively that in this presence all evil vanishes. Courage and satisfaction gradually replaced the old condition of despair, fear, and discontent. One of the ways in which the truth first unfolded to me was in the conviction that the use of material medicine is idolatry. Shortly after this, constipation, for which medicine had been taken every night, disappeared. Earache which used to last three days and nights, as a rule, was overcome. Doctors in Europe and America had not been able to heal this last mentioned condition.

Shortly after becoming a student of Christian Science a very severe attack of kidney trouble tried to conquer me. During the struggle with this disease never once did I admit its claim to reality. Through the study of Science and Health this was overcome in about three weeks. The pain from a badly sprained ankle was overcome immediately. The exposed nerve in a tooth caused me no more suffering after I had studied Science and Health for about an hour, and the tooth was filled a few days later without any pain.

Strength and endurance have been demonstrated. Before studying Christian Science a short walk was enough to cause fatigue. Now it is possible to walk twenty-five miles or so in a day without fatigue or stiffness. Many other physical healings have been experienced. A disease of twenty-five years' standing was healed for a member of our family. Other conditions which physicians said would never be overcome have been conquered through Christian Science.
