Dear Journal.— I send this to you as a simple child returns thanks for a gift bestowed upon her, and as an expression of heartfelt gratitude to God, and the blessed Truth, revealed in Christian Science, for dispelling the errors of sense in mind and body.
Two years ago I was returning from a visit, and when nearing my home the horse on which I was riding became unmanageable, and I was thrown off, striking on my head and back. After recovering somewhat from my fright and fall I was able to reach home, and did not think I was seriously hurt; but three months later I took my bed. I grew worse daily, and had employed six of the most eminent doctors at the time of my hearing of this Christian cure. The physicians then held my condition to be hopeless. I could not even turn, or raise my head from my pillow, and suffered in my head and spine continually, and at times most intensely. My eyes were affected so that light was unbearable, and I had to be in a darkened room. I now gladly say that the mists have rolled away, and the glorious light of understanding of "the Way, the Truth, and the Life," is a part of my consciousness; I trust that many others may hear the glad tidings of great joy, saying, "Peace, be still!" "God is all, and there is naught beside Him." "Come ye to the fountain of health-giving waters, and freely drink."— Butler, Mo.
