Christian Science has been a blessing to me and my family. I will tell of an experience we had about five weeks ago. My little daughter came home from school sick. She had a headache and a heavy cold, accompanied by chills and fever and vomiting. I treated her that day and the next, which was Saturday, but as she seemed to grow no better I called, early in the evening, upon another student, for help. After the first treatment she brightened up and ate her supper at the table, and then went to bed and to sleep. She seemed worse that night and the next morning, but after the second treatment, she gained steadily, and on Wednesday morning she seemed as bright and happy as ever. We were thankful that this dark cloud, which seemed so real, was destroyed by the light of Truth, and harmony reigned instead.
On Saturday night, after I had asked for help and the first treatment had been given, about ten o'clock I went to her room, and she seemed much worse, for the fever was high and she talked at times irrationally. I was frightened and dared not go to sleep but lay and declared the truth for hours. Many pictures of error, which mortal mind tried to present, were destroyed, and finally, about two o'clock, the thought came, from Science and Health, "Divine Love always has met, and always will meet, every human need." I never shall forget the feeling of peace and perfect assurance that came with it. Just then, as I laid my hand on the little one, I found that a gentle perspiration had broken out and the fever was ended, nor did it present itself again.
For this and for many demonstrations that have come to us we have cause to be very thankful, but above all we are thankful to the one who has brought to us the understanding of Truth whereby we may know and come into our true birthright.— Plymouth, Mich.
