I wish to give an account of some of the good that has come to our family since we began studying Christian Science. In the first place, I was treated and healed of a very serious case of eczema, and afterward of sore throat of long standing. My mother, who was at that time seventy-five years of age, was suffering with sciatica. At first she tried to conquer it alone, but after the second day she was obliged to go to bed and send for a healer; certain movements of the limb caused such intense pain that she could not help screaming. The fourth day came and she seemed no better, and the healer asked help of her teacher. My mother had been a hydropathic physician for forty years before coming into Science, and when the Science treatment seemed to do no good she asked me to give her some kind of a warm bath. Instead I went to the telephone and asked the healer what to do, and she said to ask mother to wait a little while. She did so and was much relieved and improved so rapidly that by evening of the next day it was all gone, and it being Wednesday, she went to the meeting. It has never returned and she is now in her eightieth year. We have four children who do not know the taste of medicine, and whereas, in the past they were subject to cold and coughs all winter, they now seldom have any such trouble, and when they do it is easily banished—the two older ones (ten and thirteen) demonstrate for themselves. So we are very thankful for the light that is shining on our pathway, and we know that if we are faithful, it will shine brighter all the way.
