Having read and so much enjoyed sketches of the different churches and glimpses given of their Wednesday evening meetings, we decided that it was time that our little church in Montrose, Col., was added to the list, and shall offer its share of leaven.
We are one of ten representatives in our State, and, while our membership is not large, we have very good congregations. and many are being interested in the Truth.
Several of us have enjoyed the great privilege of class instruction, have organized an association, and have our meeting every three months. We have several healers among our number, and many beautiful demonstrations have been made, some of which have come under my own observation, and if space will permit I will gladly relate them, hoping to help others by so doing.
A man had had a long siege of typhoid fever and some weeks after, though he had recovered sufficiently to sit up, was unable to walk. The doctors discovered that the fever had settled in one limb, rendering it useless, and after treating it for some time, they told him they had done all they could do for him, except to amputate the leg. In this deplorable state Christian Science found him, and though knowing nothing about it, he was given a treatment, and the limb and his life were saved. He was able to walk in a few days, and he says he never knew before what it was to live, having been an invalid always.
I know of a little girl who had all her life been subject to epileptic fits, healed by one Christian Science treatment.
A lady who is not a Christian Scientist tells us that a number of years ago, she was bitten by a snake, and ever since has been suffering from periodical breakings out of this difficulty. One Sunday morning on her way to some church, the pain became so intense just as she got to our church door that she could go no further. She sat through the service with us, and at its close was entirely free from pain, and though several years have elapsed since then, she has never had a return of the trouble.
I could go on and relate case after case of healing if space would permit. I wish to state that our demonstrations are not all instantaneous, neither are we always successful, but we have proved the Truth to be "mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds."
Our Wednesday evening meetings are well attended and full of life, many helpful thoughts are given and many good demonstrations.— Montrose, Col.
