At the Wednesday evening meeting, September 10, in the Second Church of Christ, Scientist, Chicago, the following testimonies were offered:—
A lady said that a few nights before, her little daughter was suddenly attacked by a violent headache and a firm setting of the jaws which she declared interfered with her breathing. She was evidently suffering severely and screamed with the pain and fear. Her mother sought to calm her, declaring the omnipotence and omniscience of Love, read from Science and Health, and continued to treat her for half an hour. By that time the girl was much relieved, and no longer feared that she would lack for breath. Soon after, all the manifestations of error disappeared; she slept calmly through the night and in the morning awoke entirely healed of all the symptoms that terrified her so. During all the time, the mother felt no fear but had entire trust in the power and goodness of Love.
A gentleman said that he knew of a married couple who some weeks before had gone to an orphan asylum to choose a child for adoption. They finally selected a boy of three, — blind from his birth. They immediately began to instruct him in Science, and to declare that omnipotent Love is light and destroys all darkness. His blindness was gradually dissipated, and he became able to see as well as any one. The speaker said he was impressed not merely with the cure of the child, but with the love and tenderness of the two people who passed by the more attractive and well-endowed children, to select the afflicted one, and bestow upon him the blessings not only of a home but of sight and all the advantages of which his blindness had deprived him.
