LETTERS TO MRS. EDDY

New York, October 4, 1897. REV.

NOTES FROM THE FIELD

Nearly four years ago my eyes became very seriously affected, and I was told that they needed rest. After resting my eyes for six months they became worse, and I went under treatment at Indianapolis.

NOTES FROM THE FIELD

Extract from a Letter. Now I must allude to a demonstration which came to me the day after I received your kind letter.

LETTERS TO MRS. EDDY

Salt Lake City, July 14, 1897. Our Beloved Mother and Leader: — When "Miscellaneous writings" first came out, I thought of writing to you and expressing my gratitude for the immediate help it was to me.

NOTES FROM THE FIELD

Like a great many who served as soldiers, four years and five months, during the war of the Rebellion, when I got back home I had to bring some claims with me, which grew in strength year by year until, in 1887, I had to give up all kinds of work. Five or six doctors gave me up, and told my wife to move me to this place, which she did in July, 1888.

LETTERS TO MRS. EDDY

Dear Journal: —A bit of my experience may be of use to some. For a very short time I was a scorner of Christian Science, not understanding it.

NOTES FROM THE FIELD

It is some time since a report has been sent in from First Church of Christ, Scientist, of Madison, Wis. This church, although owning no church edifice, has for the past three years occupied the Jewish Synagogue, a commodious building erected many years since, and for a time worshipped in by the resident Jews.

LETTERS TO MRS. EDDY

1968 Second St. , San Diego Cal.

NOTES FROM THE FIELD

LIKE many others, I had been through long years of suffering, and like one anciently had "spent all my living and was nothing better but rather grew worse. " No physician gave me any hope of recovery.
