About twenty-two years ago my husband developed a tubercular wrist, which in a short while incapacitated him for work. Our baby was about eight months old, we had no friends to whom to turn, and the outlook was anything but encouraging. Our dear landlady came to us in our hour of need and told us about God and that we could depend on Him. She asked me to read certain verses from the Bible. One from Isaiah especially was a source of comfort: "For thy Maker is thine husband; the Lord of hosts is his name; and thy Redeemer the Holy One of Israel; The God of the whole earth shall he be called;" also Jesus' words, "Seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you."

I read and reread these verses until I had them memorized, and my good friend the practitioner showed me how to study the Lesson-Sermons as given in the Christian Science Quarterly. Almost at once things came up that tided us over and in a short while I was given substitute work teaching in the public schools. Not having a certificate to teach, I was obliged to take examinations. I feared I could not pass them, but with a little study and the help of the practitioner I was successful, and when the new term started was given an appointment. During this time of my husband's illness I was able to keep up our little household and attend to my baby and my position also, only through the help and support I received from Christian Science.

When a dear one passed on I was wonderfully sustained and provided for in my hour of need. Just about this time my little girl had an attack of so-called spinal meningitis. The attack was sudden and terrible, but in two weeks the child was again perfectly well. When she was five years old she had mastoiditis, which many insisted could not be cured without a surgical operation. That, too, was entirely healed in about two weeks. Measles, whooping cough, and scarlet fever were also quickly overcome with the aid of Christian Science.
