Letters to the Journal from our readers. Opinions expressed in this column are not necessarily those of The Christian Science Journal.

NOTES FROM THE FIELD

In response to the suggestion in the Journal, I send you a short sketch of my experience in gaining an understanding of Christian Science, which makes whole all who come into its blessed light. The healing was not done at once, and by another.

NOTES FROM THE FIELD

Having received such a blessing from the knowledge of Truth in Christian Science, I feel it my duty to give my testimony in the hope that it may be the means of inducing others to seek that knowledge which alone can make them free. Raised in the Lutheran faith, I believed the teachings of the Church until I was twenty years of age, when, to my great sorrow, I became an infidel, and during the last twenty years I have been without a God.

NOTES FROM THE FIELD

I became interested in Christian Science through being healed. I had no faith in doctors, therefore would not consult any; but felt that something must be done, or I would soon follow a brother and sister, who had passed on with the same claim.

NOTES FROM THE FIELD

For many years I had been a great sufferer from many maladies, and one that seemed to baffle the skill of medical science. I was waiting for death, as I then thought, to free me.

NOTES FROM THE FIELD

Though only a beginner in Christian Science, I feel that I have been so gently and wisely guided in the right way, that perhaps a few thoughts may help some one who is searching for Truth. For sometime I had an honest and sincere desire that I might be good in the truest sense of the word as I then under stood it.

NOTES FROM THE FIELD

Dear Journal :— I cannot help but see how graphically yon described my own experience in the article relating to the prophet Jonah. It seems to me to be my literal experience.

NOTES FROM THE FIELD

Dear Journal :— You ask for instances of slow demonstrations and I think my experiences have been slow enough to encourage the slowest. I always hated to wait.

LETTER TO MRS. EDDY

Chicago, Ill. , Feb.

NOTES FROM THE FIELD

I had been for twelve or more years an invalid, although everything which medical science and its physicians (who were principally specialists in large cities) advised, was promptly tried for my relief by a kind husband and friends, regardless of expense or trouble. My husband heard of Christian Science in a grocery store, where the husband of the Scientist who afterward became my healer, had dropped a seed of Truth.

NOTES FROM THE FIELD

Live Love —and you will find it will melt a heart of adamant. For over two years, I was made miserable by my husband's bitter opposition to Christian Science, when I finally awakened to the fact that it was not Christian Science that caused the trouble, but the lack of it in myself.
