I gladly embrace this opportunity to bear grateful testimony to the blessed results, so far in my experience, of Christian Science. On the 10th of July 1871 I fell from a tree, about ten feet, striking my spine on chips of wood with such force as to completely paralyze my lower limbs, having no use of them for weeks. The doctors blistered me thoroughly and used various other means up to two years ago (Drs. completely baffled. The most noted in Kalamazoo and Grand Rapids, Mich., examined and treated me. Also here, in Amsterdam, I applied to one of the best, about a year and a half ago, for a recommend for admission to the Brooklyn Methodist Hospital, which he refused to grant, after a thorough examination, for the reason that the Hospital authorities do not receive incurables), since when I have not used medicine. Have labored some every year till three years ago. From that time I could not labor till healed through Science, which was brought to my notice about April 1st 1890. Commenced attending meetings, taking treatment, and studying about April 15th 1890, and on Sept. 25th following, commenced laboring, and have not lost any time since on account of ill health. Have not yet regained normal strength because I yet realize only a limited amount of Truth. But the Truth I have and do realize has brought me a wonderful amount of enjoyment and comfort. I expect to go on learning and realizing Truth, and growing spiritually stronger, and the spiritual strength will bring out more harmony in all directions.
We have fifteen regular attending Scientists at our meetings here, and several others who attend occasionally. We have service on Sunday at 10.30 A. M. and S. S. immediately after; student's meeting on Tuesday, and public meeting Friday evening.— Amsterdam, N. Y.
