Isaiah, in the twenty-sixth chapter and third verse, says, "Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee." A short time ago this promise was proved to me most beautifully. For ten days I was in a house which the doctors said was filled with diphtheria; the greater part of the first sixteen hours I spent with one who had this disease in a very severe form, and the remainder of the time with one who the doctor said was a carrier of the disease. Only once during this time was there any fear of contagion, and this was quickly overcome, as was a belief I had long had of being very much irritated by the fumes of formaldehyde. This was used in both liquid and dry form, and seemed at first to cause a soreness in my nose and throat, but with a practitioner's help this was quickly overcome. Not only was I protected from fear, but instead of a sense of loneliness and isolation there was gratitude and joy that no matter what the seeming material conditions were I had only to turn resolutely from them to the one Mind to find peace and harmony.

I have had many other proofs of the healing power of Christian Science. Before I began the study of this Science I had been unable for several years to attend school or to do any work that kept me indoors. For the last three and one-half years I have been able to carry heavy school work and also do outside work at the same time. Colds, sprains, burns, discontent, homesickness, lack of supply, and many other discordant conditions have been destroyed by practicing what I have understood of this truth as taught by Mrs. Eddy in "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" and her other writings. I am very grateful for these healings and for an understanding of God as the Principle which enables us to solve every problem that comes to us.
