Is Science and Health translated, or to be translated, into the German language? How I desired such a copy in Berlin! where the opportunity was offered me, in connection with my landlady, to introduce Christian Science to her—the first she had ever heard the term used. Notwithstanding the apparent limitation of foreign language, she knowing but little English, we began the reading from "Recapitulation." There was a willing state of mind, and a consciousness of the presence of Spirit, giving light and understanding. One idea after another was presented, standing out beautifully to her apprehension. Then the uncompromising statements succeeded—contradicting every belief of a so-called life time. These were met with astonishment, and mortal-mind denial of their truthfulness; but, when the statement was made and proved that only from the standpoint of Christian Science are spiritual facts known—this was a revelation! A fortnight of occasional readings seems all too short; but, on coming to Dresden, I left with her the only German tract, "How to Begin in Christian Science," together with a copy each, of Rudiments and Rules, and No and Yes, in English—intending, later, to send to London for a copy of Science and Health. She would require, according to her sense of things, some assistance in English to progress much; but I have already ordered a copy of Science and Health to be sent from London to Berlin, not knowing of any translation from it in German.
The Bible Lessons we find to be of great value, supplying in part the need we feel of having the correct view of the Scriptures presented. I would like to express my gratitude for the help and strength received from them.
There are ten active demonstrators in our association, and we each have all we can do. We are greatly antagonized by the ministers of the gospel, but have assured them that the Truth has come to stay. We have had over one thousand cases come for treatment, and there have been some marked cases of healing, though we are still scoffed at by the pulpit.— St. Cloud, Minn.
