Mr. Editor: When I first heard of this healing I was encouraged by reading the testimonies of some who had been cured. I first heard of Mr. E. P. Hardy, a healer, in Buffalo, New York, when in despair of ever being helped. For six years I had been growing worse (or thought I had) with inflammatory rheumatism and pleurisy, when a friend asked me to try Mr. Hardy. I knew nothing of Christian Science, and less of his work; but I was ready to try. He asked me two or three questions, did not talk Bible or original sin, but said God was always ready to help His children. I began to feel better in fifteen minutes. In a week I was out on the street, and have kept growing better till today, two months later. I may add that several others have gone to Mr. Hardy, and have been healed. I should like to mention a few. One is a case of deafness, cured in a week. One is a growth, such as had once been cut off by doctors. This one was called to Hardy's attention, and in three days it was all gone. Another patient was very nearsighted, and in a few days could see as well as I. Another was wearing glasses for old age, and cured just the same. I persuaded a man who had lumbago for a year, so that he could not stoop, to go to Hardy. In an hour he came back well, and has been all right ever since.
Does the pilgrim count the miles,
When he is wandering to a distant shrine of grace?
