I was an invalid for several years:—heart and other diseases, too many to mention, troubled me, and the physicians did me no good. Since I was healed in Christian Science, and am able to do my work, I know I have indeed found the only way through Christ to God. I am more convinced of it every day, as I realize a little of the allness of God and the nothingness of matter; and the peace and comfort it gives me to live in the Truth. Oh, how I yearn to go through a class and get more understanding. Some of our neighbors and friends make fun of it and say a smart person would not believe in Christian Science. They have indeed eyes and cannot see, and ears and cannot hear, as Christ said to the scribes and Pharisees. The preacher in one of our neighboring churches said it was getting too near to God, healing the sick in Christian Science through Truth. I think there is where most of the so-called Christians go off; they are afraid to get nearer God, lest they have to give up worldly honors and pleasures in order to worship God in Spirit and in Truth. If we leave all for Christ, Truth's sake, perhaps friends turn against us and worldly honors go, but we feel stronger in God for all the persecutions we have to go through. How sweet it is to have a faint gleam only of light, realization of one Father and the brotherhood of man in Christian Science. If anyone wants to know more about my case of healing, I am willing to answer any inquiries made to me, so as to help bring, if only one more, to the Truth.—Mrs. M. A. E.
