When first Christian Science was brought to my notice, it was through the healing of some absent friends. One of these had been in an asylum for the insane, and pronounced incurable. It seemed to me almost incredible that she could be healed, but upon investigation, I learned that it was true. Soon afterward, a cousin, visiting us from Buffalo, loaned me a Christian Science Journal and other reading, but I was not quite ready for the Truth, and turned from it, to follow my material gods a little longer.
Still there was something about it that appealed strongly to my thought; and the time soon came when life seemed so full of suffering and mental unrest, that I turned to Christian Science, employing a healer, and beginning at once the study of "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures." My treatment was absent, and I could feel the love manifested in the letters I received from the dear, patient helper. I felt, "This is true Christianity."
There were several diseases to be overcome, but from the first I felt help, and gradually these disappeared.
