My Dear Teacher:—We have gone back into the practice again. We gave it up for a few months, because it had assumed such large proportions we could not handle it, and at the same time teach and get time to study. As students and friends desired us to take up the work of healing again to a certain extent, however, we have done so; but our practice is getting where it was before, so large we cannot handle it. I must tell you of a few demonstrations: In one case of childbirth, the lady had had three physicians, the child being removed with instruments, and finally fainting spells set in. According to medical theory, acute Bright's disease of the kidneys was the trouble. The physicians held a consultation, pronounced her case hopeless, and said there was no use of returning, for they could do nothing. Her husband sent for me while she was unconscious, in belief. After the second treatment she looked about the room and asked who I was. Not wishing to excite her, they said I was a friend come in to see them. In a few moments she said: "That lady helped me." She improved each day, and is now well, and doing her own housework. Also, I have in mind a case of pneumonia; that of a young child that was treated by the doctor until he gave it up, saying the child could not live. I was then sent for at midnight, and now the child is perfectly well. I have treated several cases of obstetrics, each of them succeeding splendidly, with very little suffering; but it has been the earnest desire of my heart to see the Truth demonstrated so fully that there would be not one belief of pain. This desire was granted in the case of a lady who had had eight children; one previously a sufferer, not only at birth, but for weeks before. This time the child was born without a pain; and I think I never in my life felt such a depth of gratitude to my heavenly Father as I did for this manifestation of Divine harmony. The ministers have been attacking Christian Science here lately at the Ministerial Association; but Truth came out victorious over the Medical Association, and has strengthened us for whatever we may have to meet; for we know in the end we shall have perfect peace.
Your loving student,
