NOTES FROM THE FIELD

From the February 1899 issue of The Christian Science Journal


Dear Journal:—I desire to mention a few of the demonstrations that have been made since coming to this place three years ago. Error has many times screamed loud and long, has tried to drive us out, and failing, has even solicited us to leave. It has assumed a great variety of phases, but to no avail; we are here, founded on the Rock, Christ, and nothing can prevail against us.

I have been a reader of the Journal for five years, and have not seen any account of healing among our Indian friends. Thinking this might be of special interest, I wish to tell about my first work for "the noble red man."

A young man for whom the Truth had been demonstrated in the ease of a mashed ankle, which yielded almost instantaneously, had incidentally told this Indian what Christian Science had done for him. Some months later the Indian sent a messenger to the man who had been healed, and asked him to send "that man" to him. The young man came to me and asked if I would go and treat an Indian. We went to his home, a small house with two rooms in which he lived in the winter time, but in summer he always takes up his abode in a tepee.
