While I was visiting some of my relatives during the past two months, one of them, a boy I had not seen for a long time, had a very violent claim. Being asked to take charge of the case, I enquired if he desired Christian Science treatment, and was told that he did. I went in where he was lying and in a talk with him I found that he had been reading Science and Health and was very anxious to be helped by Christian Science. After talking with him for a while, I gave him a treatment and then left. In the afternoon I returned and found him raving, and immediately made the statement very positively, "This will not do, you do not have to be this way." He at once replied. "I know that God will help me," and turned over and went to sleep; that being the last of the claim, and I found him reading Science and Health very frequently thereafter; he giving all the credit for his healing to the Truth.
At another time, while I was away, my little baby was bitten on the toe by a large yellow fly, the place beginning to bleed immediately. Those who saw it said that the toe would become inflamed and swollen, and that my babe would have a very bad time. I said that I did not think so. Going to my room for a few moments, I realized the Truth for my child, and the claim was met instantly. There was no inflammation or swelling. The next day the toe was examined by one not a Scientist, and the demonstration of Truth was pronounced a miracle.
The greatest demonstration I have ever had was in overcoming a "breaking-out" that my little girl had while we were away. This claim was manifested first on her arm, which was a solid crust from her shoulder to her wrist. I kept her sleeve pulled down well around her hand so that no one would be alarmed and suggest ugly thoughts.
