I thought that I should make an effort to tell some of the blessings received from the study of the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," and other writings of Mary Baker Eddy. My family and I have depended on Christian Science for more than thirty years as our guide to health and happiness. We have raised a family of seven children and they all depend upon Christian Science as their guide to the Father who heals all our diseases. I have been healed of inflammatory rheumatism and of many other things. Members of my family have been healed of scarlet fever, smallpox, measles, and mumps, and I have seen broken bones healed without the aid of a surgeon.

When I first heard of Christian Science I had just moved to Oregon, and one of our children had a very high fever. There was no doctor in the town, but there was a small drug store, so I went there to see if I could get something that would allay the fever. The druggist said he had nothing that he could recommend, and he told me to go and see his wife; he thought that she could help the child. I went to her house and the lady told me that she did not believe in taking medicine, but did not tell me that she depended upon Christian Science. I went home and told my wife that I thought I would take the first steamboat for Portland. At that time there was no way of transportation to Portland except by boat or horseback and there were no telephone lines there. While I was talking about getting a doctor the druggist's wife came in and told us about Christian Science, and that it is the teaching of Christ Jesus again made available for healing. We decided to let her give a treatment, and in a few minutes the child went to sleep and her breathing was natural. The next morning she was all right, and has been well ever since. She has married and raised a large family, without medicine, and they depend upon the teachings of "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy for their guide to health and happiness.

When I saw the healing of our daughter I began at once to study this Science, for I knew it was the truth that makes free. Later, when I was taken down with lung fever in a very bad form I had Christian Science treatment and in a short time I was able to work again. I have not tested any medicine since that time, which was over thirty years ago. I have seen a great many cases healed and am very grateful for this truth.
