The following article comes to us bearing the signature of Mrs. Morgan, but in the handwriting of another Scientist, who kindly prepared it for her.—Ed.
I Am sixty-four years old and have an adopted son, who from infancy has been a helpless invalid. He had no control over his limbs or muscles, and was unable to dress himself and always walked unsteadily, reeling to and fro, knocking against walls, windows, chairs and tables. The doctors, after years of treatment, pronounced him diseased from head to foot, and incurable. Four years ago I heard of Christian Science, and brought my boy to a practitioner in this city. My husband and I noticed improvement in him after a few treatments. He steadily gained and began to show signs of health and intelligence. We found that he could walk about and dress himself like other boys. This encouraged us to send him to school. He has now been a regular attendant at the public school for two years, and is in the Third Reader. He also attends the Christian Science Sunday School, and the first verse he recited after entering his class was "Honor thy father and thy mother."
Up to the time my boy was healed by this blessed Truth, I had not thought of asking anything for myself from this source. Now, I thought, Why cannot this power which has lifted my boy out of bondage, open the prison doors for me also?
