Tacoma, Washington (Second Church).

Lecturer: Miss M. Ethel Whitcomb; introduced by Mrs. Emily Swift, who said:—

In the fifth chapter of Matthew we read, "Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven." These words came to me one night twelve years ago, when I was praying to God to comfort me and to help me. I did not know the meaning of this angelic message, but the words never left me. Some months later when lying at the point of death from an incurable kidney disease, one kidney entirely gone and the other badly affected, and having been given up by eight physicians, the light of Truth was presented to me. I read the textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy, and a faint light dawned on me. I threw away my medicine, dismissed the nurse, and by degrees arose from my bed. This light continued to guide me through the deep waters and to meet my every need—mental, physical, and financial. And it is available to everyone here.
