PRACTICAL APPLICATION OF CHRISTIAN SCIENCE

From the August 1900 issue of The Christian Science Journal


The article in the Sentinel for May 17, entitled "A few Suggestions," had the effect of awakening me to my duty to the publications of the Society, for I have been deriving much benefit from both Sentinel and Journal, without doing my share towards contributing; but I had always thought that I had never had any experience remarkable enough for publication. When I began to look back over the past few years, and really to see what a change has been wrought with me, I could no longer hesitate to send a short outline of my experience, hoping, in the event that it is published, it may do as much good to others, as it has done to me.

It may interest the reader to know that the sister mentioned, is the same one who sent the testimony at the time of the dedication of the church here (Chicago), that appeared under the title "She never Fell."

I did not become interested in Christian Science as a result of any physical healing, but since coming into an understanding of its Principle, I have experienced innumerable benefits, both physical and moral. As a small child, I was always considered very delicate. I seldom left the house during the winter months, and was almost constantly under treatment for colds and sore throat. Instead of being helped I became worse, and my mother decided to adopt homœopathic remedies. This treatment relieved me somewhat, but left me very susceptible to changes of temperature. I was never free from throat trouble during the winter months.
