Thank God, our Father, that through Christian Science my husband and I have been lifted out of the narrow channel of human conception, up to the higher ocean of His Love, and Life which never dies! For twelve years, my husband had suffered intensely with belief of malignant cancer. All our means (?) were consumed by the best physicians and surgeons, who did him no good. Finally hemorrhages became so frequent, night and day, that our home medical and surgical decision was in favor of operation as a last resort; but with "no certainty that this would result in cure." Though my eyes had two years before been opened to glimpses of the Truth, he yet scoffed at Christian Science. I could not persuade him to try it in lieu of the operation. The evening before this was to occur, we were to meet in company Gov. S—whom I knew to be a Goodly man. On our way, I asked him in case the Governor proved in favor of Christian Science, if he would then consent to delay the morrow's work for two weeks to give Christian Science a first trial. Feeling sure that gentleman was superior to anything so "outlandish," he consented. Unbidden tears of joy dimmed my eyes as I entered the parlor and saw Gov. S—already arrived. When opportunity offered, I plainly asked if he would advise the trial. "By all means, my dear brother! "said he, turning to my husband. Opposition chimed out through the parlors, leaving but two in strong favor. My husband was literally confounded. In a twinkling he was a subdued, changed man; reminding me of a frightened child just taken up out of trouble. Gov. S—showed us his Bible, marked, full of Christian Science, "especially the four Gospels." Next morning Mr. W—deferred the operation, and entered upon Christian Science treatment. The third treatment ended the pain and hemorrhage, and brought sweet, peaceful sleep. In three weeks he was able to resume business. When starting out, of his own accord he removed the lotions and plasters from his valise, and, substituting therein the Bible, he turned to me and exclaimed: "Oh, what a relief—after years and years —not to have to take false medicines!" In two short months the wound was healed, and white winged peace abides with us. We have ever since read Science and Health, which has healed me of weakness and pain that was holding me its prey. I love the Truth, and have the great privilege of hearing it spoken every Sunday.—Mrs. I. N. W., Detroit, Mich.
