Nearly thirty years ago I first heard of Christian Science

Clara E. Smith

Nearly thirty years ago I first heard of Christian Science. We were living on a farm on the Dakota prairies—two little daughters, my husband, and I. We worked hard trying to make a home. It was very uphill work, as neither of us had had much experience in farming and there was little money. We were young and strong and willing to work. I went out cooking for threshers, sewing, washing for the neighbors, besides doing my own work outside and in. The neighbors all said I would not be able to keep it up, and—as they all prophesied—I became ill.

The physician lived eight miles away, but he came across the drifting snow and did the best he knew, but nothing seemed to relieve me. He diagnosed the case as malarial typhoid fever and inflammation of the bowels; they had been entirely inactive for weeks. I had always suffered from constipation, but this time there seemed no relief. The doctor told my husband there was not much hope.
