Some time after the armistice, when the Spanish influenza was raging, I found myself attacked with some of the symptoms of that disease. This came as a surprise to me, because for some years I had not been subject to physical disorders of any kind. I was in surroundings where the apparent effects of the disease were much in evidence; and I became so weakened that I felt it impossible to attend to my daily work. After a few days, I somewhat reluctantly decided to see a Christian Science practitioner. As a result of one treatment, the most severe symptoms disappeared, and I was able to resume my work. I also commenced a more diligent study of the Bible and the writings of Mary Baker Eddy; and, in course of time, the disease disappeared completely. This experience proved again to me that Christian Science heals physical disease; and the words written in the first chapter of Luke's gospel seemed to apply to my experience with full force: "That thou mightest know the certainty of those things, wherein thou hast been instructed."
I thank God for the knowledge I have of Christian Science, this new-old religion which gives such a clear understanding of the life and works of the great Master; and honor and gratitude are due to that great woman, Mary Baker Eddy, the Discoverer and Founder of Christian Science.—Edwin Southerst, North Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
