It was four years ago that I took up the study of Christian Science, through the request for treatment by a loved one who was declared to have Bright's disease. I engaged a practitioner and it was not long until I had assurance that my son was free. I shall not forget the day he realized the bonds were removed. I was reminded of Scriptural healings wherein the healed leaped and praised God. Since then he has not been seriously ill at any time and to-day is considered a husky boy. In working in Science for him I have also experienced many healings, and have had other beautiful demonstrations of the power of God, for which I am truly grateful.

After I had been in Science but a short time a rusty nail ran into my foot. Through my own understanding, pain and any after effects such as soreness, swelling, or poisoning, were overcome in a few minutes. I was so grateful for this healing, as I well remembered what serious times I experienced twice from the same cause, when I was a child. I was on my feet and worked hard all day and actually forgot the incident until late in the evening. Chronic bowel trouble, sick headaches, attacks of grippe, and very many other discordant experiences have been overcome. Neither my son nor I have taken a drop of medicine in the four years. Like many others I really value the spiritual awakening most of all. To me "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy stands next to the Bible, that Book of books. I read little else than the Scriptures, Mrs. Eddy's writings, and other Christian Science literature, and strive each day to gain a better understanding of Truth.
