LETTERS TO MRS. EDDY

Dow City, Iowa, April 14, 1896. REV.

NOTES FROM THE FIELD

I Never heard of Christian Science until July, 1894. I was given a few tracts and a Journal , and through reading them I knew I had found the Truth which I had been seaching for in the Roman Catholic church (for I was brought up a strict Romanist), and in the Presbyterian church which I had joined in 1890.

LETTERS TO MRS. EDDY

338 E. 55th St.

NOTES FROM THE FIELD

At a time when all the world seemed dark, doctors and friends powerless to help, God very far away, and either unable or unwilling to hear, my attention was first called to Christian Science. My husband was ill and could obtain no help from materia medica.

NOTES OF GRATITUDE

The following letter was written by Mr. C.

NOTES FROM THE FIELD

When Christian Science was first brought to my notice about three and one-half years ago, it found me without belief in the Bible, and especially in the wonderful words, and to me, still more wonderful works of Jesus; for, believe them I could not, holding, as I did then, to the supposed laws of matter. It also found my home made, to say the least, very uncomfortable by the almost constant illness of my wife, she having been an invalid for many years, and for a year and a half just preceding the time to which I allude, she had been much worse than ever before, and we had about given up all hope of relief, for we had tried all material remedies within our reach, without receiving any permanent benefit.

EXTRACTS FROM LETTERS TO MRS. EDDY

REV. MARY BAKER EDDY.

NOTES FROM THE FIELD

It has long been my desire to express through the Journal the gratitude I feel toward Christian Science and to the Author of Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures. I had been afflicted with many troubles from about the age of thirteen or fourteen years among them being heart and liver trouble.
