In the darkest time of my life...

In the darkest time of my life Christian Science was presented to me. I was ready for it, but was so enmeshed in my troubles that all I got out of my first reading of Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy was that it contained the truth. That was sufficient to hold my interest; so I kept reading it until greater enlightenment came to me. It is now more than forty years since that time, and I wish to express my gratitude to God for the many blessings that have been poured out upon me and mine through the study and application of Christian Science.

During the winter of 1918 and 1919, when the influenza epidemic was rampant, we were on the bleak prairies of Saskatchewan, Canada. One morning as I got out of bed I sank to the floor unconscious. When I regained consciousness, my wife helped me back into bed and then read to me from Science and Health for about an hour. Then I arose, dressed myself, and went out and cared for the stock.

The thermometer registered forty degrees below zero. My wife had arranged previously to help a neighbor that day, but did not want to leave me alone. However, I assured her I was all right; so she went. I took care of the stock at noon and again that evening.
