NOTES FROM THE FIELD

Extracts from private letter.

From the September 1891 issue of The Christian Science Journal


I know you will be interested to know that my mother is well and happy. She has gained so rapidly during the past week,— it is really wonderful. She does not act, or look, like the woman you saw in N. Has not a particle of the old belief of Asthma, and says she is sure she will never have it again. Her faith in Christian Science grows stronger each day— how can it do otherwise, with the great sign that has been given her! When we came home, people who saw her said she would not live three days. She did look very badly, with the "seaweeds" clinging to her, and did not seem to improve for more than a week; but she threw away all the medicine she had in the house, and said she would die rather than take any more. She clung to God, and now there is Such a great change! I look at her with feelings of awe, knowing for a certainty that it is God's work.

I am more thankful each day for the knowledge I have received of this beautiful Christianity, and there is nothing else I enjoy talking of so much. But the large portion of people here are so skeptical, that I almost think they would not believe in Christian Science, though one were raised from the dead. It is certainly "casting pearls before swine" to talk with some of them; but rest assured, that all who manifest the slightest interest in the subject, will get all of Christian Science that we are capable of giving them.

I realize that I am only a young learner, and do not understand everything clearly yet, but I am studying every day, and I feel that light will be given me as fast as I am able to receive. I feel that I must not conceal the little light I already have,— I must tell the few with whom I come in contact here, and if God has any other work for me, He will show me as soon as I am prepared for it.—
