I would like to state what wonders Christian Science has done for my husband and myself, in the one short year we have been studying it. Before it came into our lives we had no God, but believed in Darwin's theory of evolution, having arrived at that conclusion after a fruitless investigation of different religious denominations. I cannot be thankful enough for the sense of peace, security, and health which has come to me through Christian Science. God's loving care has been so often experienced that I felt I must write my testimony.

We were traveling in Canada when my first demonstration was made. About seven o'clock one morning I was awakened by excruciating pains, and was in a cold perspiration. I immediately faced the argument of ptomaine poisoning. I awakened my husband who when he saw my condition thought I was passing away, but shook me and said, "Remember Science. Remember!" I said I would like to have a practitioner. He turned to see the time, and as he did so these words came to my thought: "These signs shall follow them that believe ... if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them," and I immediately realized that nothing could affect God's child. Just then my husband turned to me and asked how I felt and I said, "I am perfectly all right;" and indeed I was. The pains and perspiration had disappeared and I was instantaneously healed. That day I went about my work as usual, feeling perfectly well, and having no relapse.

Another instance of healing occurred when my husband's face broke out with an inflamed rash. We tried to overcome it ourselves by reading and putting into practice what we understood of Christian Science, but when on the second morning his face had become so swollen that his eyes were almost closed, we thought it best to consult a practitioner. At noon he was treated and by three o'clock the same day his face was as clear and normal as it had ever been. I know it was fear on our part which prevented us from seeing the unreality of the erroneous condition and overcoming it, but thanks to the understanding of a practitioner another beautiful proof of the power of Truth was given us.
