All true Christian Scientists know of the reluctance one feels in speaking of self in connection with God's work; but, as His humble child, I have been allowed to sow the seed in Paris, Dresden, and Home. Fifty copies of Science and Health have been sold and distributed since last spring in Paris. The good work progresses, and I hope soon the Lord will provide a fold there.
In Dresden, there has been a wonderful awakening. I spent the last winter there with my family of children. Another true Scientist came, as by the law of spiritual attraction, to call upon me.
A claim of mumps in one of my children disappearing, without the others coming down, made a deep impression on some in our pension. The manifestation of God's power in destroying a claim of fever, in a hospital under a German doctor's eye, led him to say, as he walked off with Science and Health under his arm, "I will learn this thing." A dear German fraulcin was sent to me for treatment for a claim of Bright's disease. The proof of the truth of Christian Science, brought all the pension in her charge to thinking about it; finally so many said: "When can we see you to talk over this wonderful Truth?" that I was led to set a day for conversation on the subject. My friend and myself were neither of us practising Scientists in the accepted sense of the word, she being a music student, and I having the loving care of six children; and I must confess, the thought of the responsibility of speaking the Truth to the so-called mortal thought in a strange country was rather an appalling one. The suggestion came: "Now prepare your notes, make a plan," but Love said: "Open thy mouth and I will fill it."
