One evening in the winter of 1905 I went home and found my little daughter, aged three and a half years, in a high fever and continuing to grow worse. After consultation with my wife about what course to pursue, I started down town to call in a physician. My wife, who is a Scientist, had suggested that I call upon a practitioner of that faith, and on the way to town I was considering her advice as to the Science treatment and determined to try it. We had a very dear friend who is a Scientist, but she was then in Denver. I procured her address and telegraphed her at eight o'clock that evening. Upon my return home I found the child in the same fevered condition, which continued to grow worse until nine o'clock, when we noticed a change, and in half an hour the child was peacefully sleeping and the fever gone. In the morning she was in her usual health. We learned that the telegram had been delivered about nine o'clock that night.
In July of the same year, on a trip from Memphis, Tenn., to Kansas City, we were compelled to travel all night in a chair car with our children, aged two and four years. In the car was another child with a severe case of illness. The day after we arrived home both children developed a definite case of that disease; they had Christian Science treatment, and in a night all the symptoms had disappeared. I am not a Scientist, but when I have had this truth touch my life, I can only say, like the restored blind man, that whereas these little ones were sick, I know they were healed.
