From the December 1902 issue of The Christian Science Journal


I thought I would write a few lines showing how Christian Science has been assimilated and practically applied by my family of five children who have been in Science five years. They are active members of First Church of Christ, Scientist, Sunday School in this city.

My little girl, eleven years old, was sent to the grocery recently and the grocer asked her what Sunday School she attended. She said, "The Christian Science Sunday School." One of the clerks then spoke up and asked her, "What is Christian Science? is it a religion, Mary?" She answered, "Christian Science is a knowledge of the Truth." "Oh!" he said, "A knowledge of the Truth; well, that must be a good thing."

Frances, who is nine years old. was healed in Science of a fearful case of eczema, and also healed of deafness, which had become so serious that her teachers at school had sent home to me about it. It was also noticed by her Sunday School teacher who immediately came to see me; and without any direct treatments she was healed perfectly. before the next Sunday had passed. This healing I attribute to her Sunday School teacher's loving desire to help her. This same child healed herself of a severe case of bronchitis by the declaration and realization made all by herself that "God is ever present and He is all powerful; also error is nothing and I am something, nothing cannot hurt something." This I heard her declare audibly in her room when treating herself. Each of these little girls owns her own Science and Health, and it is her daily companion.
