NOTES FROM THE FIELD

From the February 1894 issue of The Christian Science Journal


I never really saw a well day, after a long and strange illness of more than a year ago. I finally realized something must be done, for I was fast drifting again into the same severe pain in my head, and other ailments. I had not an atom of faith in Christian Science. But after suffering long enough I was willing to investigate, for from drugs, hygiene, or other material source, I could get no relief.

After making up my mind to find the good in it, I went at it with the right spirit, casting aside prejudice and adverse opinion and in four days had an actual demonstration. In other words, one of the ailments disappeared entirely through the understanding of this divine Truth, so new and strange to me. But the pain in my head continued, although much relieved. Finally I felt it only at night, waking many times.

I was without Mrs. D— now, having her aid only one week, for I realized I had a work to do. I studied "Science and Health," and endeavored to apply the Truth to every claim and at last, the ninth night, I slept soundly; and have since been able through Truth to demonstrate over each claim of pain in my head.
