EXTRACTS FROM LETTERS TO OUR TEACHER

From the May 1889 issue of The Christian Science Journal


Dear Mother of Truth: The most blessed of women! Oh, how I long to sit under the sound of your voice and hear the Truth that comes to you from on high, for none could speak such wondrous thoughts as have come from your pen, except it be "the Spirit that speaketh in you."

Two years ago last October, while laboring under a great strain of care and anxiety in regard to financial affairs, I heard of "Christian Science." I borrowed Science and Health, and began to read. I bless God that I was driven to it by such an extremity. After reading some one hundred and fifty pages I was convinced that it was the Truth I had searched for during twenty years.While I was reading the chapter on "Imposition and Demonstration," I was healed of endo-nutritus and prolapsus uteri of over twenty years' standing, and pronounced incurable by eminent physicians. Prof. Ludlam, the dean of Hahnemann Medical College, of Chicago, Ill., was one of my doctors.

Before I was healed, to walk seven or eight blocks would so fatigue me that it would take me a week to recover. I now started out and walked, and was on my feet all day and for several succeeding days, but felt no weariness from my labors.
