I First heard of Christian Science about eleven years ago. A lady boarding in the same house with us was reading Science and Health, and from her conversation at the table concerning it I caught but one word that I can remember, and that was "error." I thought it was foolishness.
A year later one came to board in the same place, who had recently been healed and was studying Science and Health, and was full of the spirit of it. At that time my little boy was very delicate and afflicted with St. Vitus's dance. She talked to him a great deal about Science and interested him, but all that she said to us made no impression.
During the following year many spoke to us about Christian Science, and urged us to try it; but we turned a deaf ear and went on with doctors and changes of climate, until after some months I yielded reluctantly and took him to a healer, with the remark, "If you can cure that child it will be a great thing for Christian Science."
