Christian Science was first brought to my notice in March, 1898, and in the September following I began to read Science and Health. A friend had told me that what power Christian Science had was of the devil, but I decided to read the book and form my own opinions. I never commenced to do so without first reading my Bible and then praying that if it were the truth I could know it, and if it were wrong I could not be deceived by it.
I began immediately putting into practice what I could understand of each day's reading; sometimes I would be several days on one page. Soon after a baby was born in our household under Science treatment. It was a grand demonstration, and if for nothing else I owe Christian Science a lifelong gratitude; but that was only the beginning of my blessings.
The baby is now eighteen months old, and since the time of his birth there has not been a drop of medicine taken by any member of our family, and many claims have been met, some severe ones, and one which materia medica pronounced incuralbe.
