NOTES FROM THE FIELD

Having received many benefits through Christian Science, I feel it my duty to write of my experience and some of the good derived therefrom. About nine years ago a friend who had been under the care of physicians for several months, and was not benefited by them, decided to try Christian Science.

NOTES FROM THE FIELD

A Number of years ago, when about the age of eleven months, our little daughter fell from the porch upon her right shoulder and arm. We could find not so much as a bruise, and so thought no more about it that evening, but when dressing her in the morning I noticed that if her arm were moved it seemed to cause her great pain.

LETTER TO MRS. EDDY

Motz St. 10, Berlin, September 5, 1897.

NOTES FROM THE FIELD

For many years I had been a sufferer, many claims held me in bondage, among which were rheumatism, an affection of the back of head and spine which was very distressing, varicose veins, and a rupture of about twentyone years' standing.

Never was fly, tangled up in a spider's web, more helpless or hopeless than our family when Christian Science was brought to our notice in such a way that we grasped the thought as a drowning man would a straw.

NOTES FROM THE FIELD

I first heard of Christian Science about three years ago, through the marvelous—as it appeared to me— healing of a claim of rheumatism in the mother of a friend of mine. Being the mother of four children, girls nine and six years old, and a pair of twins—boy and girl —three years old, I was naturally interested on their account, especially as our family had had some experience with illnesses and accidents, and with physicians and drugs.

NOTES FROM THE FIELD

Until I heard of Christian Science, fourteen years ago, I had never known what it was to be free from pain. My diseases were numerous and my suffering at times intense, so that I would be confined to my bed for months at a time.
