Wednesday Night Meeting at Ottawa, Ill.

Arthur W. Moulton

ONE of the most pleasant and satisfactory meetings we have enjoyed during the winter was that of February 12. Among the testimonials offered was that of a gentleman who said:—

''There is a prevailing opinion among business men that Christian Science may be good enough for women and children, and for various types of imaginary troubles but that it is of no value to the every-day business man or for the so-called real physical troubles. I am pleased to testify that Christian Science is of great value to the business transaction or enterprise into which a man may enter, but that he can be greatly benefited by the principles of Christian Science, and he is consequently a better man in every respect, as a business man, physically, mentally, and morally.

Another gentleman spoke of his gratitude for a demonstration stration that occurred in his family a week ago that night. His daughter was lifting from the stove a jug of boiling, water; the confined steam forced the cork out and the water struck her full in the face, burning her quite severely. The pain was destroyed promptly through Science. She rested comfortably through the night and had not suffered with it since. She was present at the meeting with no apparent effects but that through Christian Science she was able to overcome a disposition to take cold. Previous to this year she had had five six bad colds each winter. Through the understanding of Science as taught by Mrs. Eddy in Science and Health she was able to overcome it and is now entirely free from such troubles. for which she is very thankful. The same lady read extracts from a letter received from a neighboring city stating that a lady who had been afflicted with a severe chronic trouble had been entirely cured by simply reading Science and Health.

Another lady said: At this time of the year (February), when the weather is considered conducive to lung troubles, it is such a comfort to feel that we have something that disarms us of fear and teaches us that the lungs are no more a vital part of man than his hands or his feet. I know of one case this week where a man had a severe cold. and it was feared he would have pneumonia. One afternoon he was attacked with severe pains in his chest and was unable to sit up without coughing; be asked for help in Science. The next morning he was down town and at noon took the train for a neighboring town to resume his work as carpenter.''

Another lady spoke of her gratitude for being led into Christian Science, for through it she had been healed of stomach troubles of long standing, as well as liver and nervous troubles. She was a slave to drugs, and the doctors told her she would always have to take medicine. When Christian Science proved to her that God is the healing power. drugs never afterwards tempted her. She said she was also thankful to Christian Science for a religion as she had never found that which satisfied a hungering desire for the whole of Truth until she read Science and Health, and found the religion the Master taught.

Another lady said: ''Two years ago this winter I was healed of pleuro-pneumonia in one treatment through Christian Science. The third day I was out calling and walked twenty blocks, Three years previous to this attack, I had the same disease and emploved a physician, and was sick two weeks or more, Since coming into Science I have been entirely free from such troubles, and I am grateful for the physical healing, but the one thing I am most grateful for in Christian Science is that it shows me a way out of all difficulties, whether physical, moral, or financial. I used to be melancholy, discouraged, and hopeless; in fact, I felt as though I were in the midst of a shoreless ocean, tempesttossed, driven hither and thither, perfectly helpless. Now I have found a haven of rest, a hope in the good that is substantial, a God that is everywhere present and all powerful.—Arthur W. Moulton.
