During the nine years in which we have been interested in Christian Science, we have had so many blessings showered upon us that I have not words strong enough to express all the gratitude I feel to God, and to our dear Mother for all Christian Science has been to us. By it both my husband and myself were given our health after years of suffering, and our little daughter, six years old, has never known anything but Christian Science. We have never in these nine years resorted to material remedies. Although numerous claims have manifested themselves, our remedy, Divine Love, has met every need.
A claim of croup was met in a few minutes through the realization that "Perfect love casteth out fear," and never returned, although our chubby little girl was often suggested by mortal mind as a good subject for it.
Scarlet fever was completely overcome in a day, while others exposed at the same time endured weeks of suffering. While thinking over the ills which—too numerous to give in detail—have been met and overcome in Science, I have also fully realized our Mother's love and watchfulness in the helpful thoughts she had given us, enabling us to protect ourselves and others from the manifestations of discord and disease we mothers so often find all about us. Through realizing our dependence upon only the Divine laws of harmony and Love, I have been able thoroughly to put aside all fear; and claims of chicken-pox, measles, mumps, and whooping-cough did not even manifest themselves, even though our little daughter has been right with those having these troubles.
