Four years ago I learned for the first time that there was a way to be healed through Christ. I had always been sick, but found no relief in drugs. Still, I thought if the Bible was true, God could heal me. So when my attention was called to Christian Science, I at once bought Science and Health, and began to improve in health. I seemed to see God so near and so dear; so different from the God I had been taught to fear. I studied alone night and day, until I found I was healed, both physically and mentally.
Then came a desire to tell every one of this wonderful Truth. I expected all to feel just as pleased as I did; but to my sorrow none would believe. Some, 'tis true, took treatment and were helped, but went on in the old way, without a word of thanks. But still I could not give up. I seemed to know that this was the way, and, I had rather live it alone than to follow the crowd the other way. But as time passed, I had some good demonstrations of this Love that is our life.
I am the only Scientist in Le Roy, as yet, but the good seed has been sown, and where the people once scoffed at this "silly new idea," they are becoming interested, and many have been healed, and some are asking about it. One dear old lady and I study the Bible lessons every Tuesday afternoon. She came to call, and as we talked, she told me of her sickness of years' standing; and was healed during our talk, so that she has never felt a touch of the old trouble since.
