In thinking over the many blessings received through Christian Science during the past fifteen years, it came to me that I had been very negligent in not telling others something about them through our periodicals. I could fill a volume telling of diseases healed, sin overcome, sorrow changed to happiness and peace. I will give one recent healing. In December, 1915, while stopping with friends, I was taken suddenly ill with pneumonia. My friends are not Christian Scientists and were inclined to be skeptical and fearful. The neighbors when they heard me coughing warned them that they ought to get a doctor, but they very kindly refrained from interfering and telephoned a practitioner each day for me. I remember very little about the first few days, but this I do know—that I was able to care for myself almost entirely from the first and suffered very little. Suddenly the stupor left me and I grew better very rapidly, and in less than three weeks carried a heavy satchel over three blocks to the street car, and the next day walked nine blocks. A former experience with this disease under materia medica resulted in six weeks of severe illness, and many more before strength was restored. How could I be otherwise than grateful for Christian Science, to all earnest loyal workers, and to Mary Baker Eddy, who through her unswerving fidelity to God was able to give Christian Science to suffering humanity?
