Some one has said that "physical healing is the index finger pointing to Christian Science;" and truly it was so in my case. Fifteen years ago, through the urgent request of my mother, who had witnessed a case of healing while visiting in Springfield, Mass., I was led to try Christian Science. From a child I had been considered delicate. I was nearly always under the care of a physician; but instead of improvement. I was confronted by disappointement, and rapidly fading away. Nervous prostration, rheumatic gout, and neuralgia, were some of the chains that manacled me.
A doctor in New York, who treats all alike with hot water and a limited diet, was my last physician. Under his treatment I lost thirty pounds in a short time, had to be carried upstairs, and seemingly was near the end. When enshrouded in such darkness, Christian Science was urged, and without hope or expectancy I turned to it. After one week's treatment, the improvement was manifest, and in three months' time I was healed.
I enclose a copy of a letter received recently from an aunt in North Dakota, whom I met once many years ago.
She wrote me early in the winter, asking for help. The troubles were serious and of long duration, making her almost helpless. The following will testify to the Power of Truth, and proves that distance cannot hinder the demonstration of Truth.
Harmon, N. D., January 10, 1901.
My Dear Niece:—I feel very grateful to you for your kindness in giving me treatment. I am well, and feel sure that through the Science, I have been cured.
We have never believed in Christian Science, not knowing anything about it. Now we cannot help believing that there is something in it.
We wish to know more about it. Please inform us of the best means of instruction on the subject.
Lovingly and gratefully,
E. J. C., Providence, R. I.
