I wish to express my gratitude for Christian Science

Myrtle A. Stephenson

I wish to express my gratitude for Christian Science. The application of the truth as taught in Christian Science has healed many diseases in our family, has equalized demand and supply and brought such happiness into our lives as was never before experienced.

Because of the wonderful change Christian Science had made in my life, a sister began its study, and her study, and her two children were sent to the Sunday school of The Mother Church. During the following winter her little girl, aged seven, manifested what materia medica designated as pneumonia. The father was not interested in Science although willing that his children should attend the Sunday school. A physician was called and pronounced the case a very severe one, both lungs badly congested, and the fever high. On the fourth day the child seemed to be much worse and the physician said it would be from seven to eleven days before the crisis was reached and that she was a very sick child. After he had gone the mother said, speaking more to herself than for any one to hear, "I would like to call a practitioner." Instantly the child said, "Do, mother."

Calling a practitioner meant leaving the child alone in the house while the mother went across the street to use a neighbor's telephone, but the little girl's "Do, mother" was too imperative to be resisted. Twenty minutes after the arrival of the practitioner the child fell into a long and quiet sleep, from which she awakened much improved. When the physician called the next morning he was greatly puzzled by her condition, declaring both lungs entirely free from congestion, and the fever gone. Her recovery was rapid and permanent.
