I was first brought to Christian Science about seven years ago through the wonderful healing of my invalid mother, who was afflicted by nervous prostration, and who had not walked a step for nearly thirty years without the aid of crutches. When she was gradually growing worse, and the doctors had given her up with the thought that cancer of the mouth was developing, she was kindly advised to try Christian Science. At first she could not believe the accounts of the wonderful healings effected by this Truth, but at last, with an earnest prayer to God for guidance, she turned to Christian Science. After three treatments she walked seven blocks to the station and took the train for home, to the great surprise of all who knew her, and who had not expected to see her alive again. Now she is well and active.
The following summer a faithful Scientist was called here, and through her I was healed of astigmatism. At the third treatment I took off my glasses which I had used for two years. Since then I have had many proofs of this blessed Truth, especially the healing of my youngest child about seven weeks ago. He began to get uneasy one afternoon, but not thinking anything about it, I put him to bed and he slept quietly until ten o'clock, when he awoke with a convulsion coming on. At first we thought to destroy it ourselves, but finding we needed help, we called in a Christian Science practitioner, who worked patiently for him the rest of the night. There was apparently no change until morning, the last attack being the hardest and lasting about an hour and a half, and it seemed that with each attack he must pass on. After this, it was conquered, and he was only a little uneasy the rest of the day, and the next day he sat up and asked to play horse. Three week after this he walked and now he is perfectly well.
I cannot begin to express my gratitude for this blessed Truth.— Kewanee Ill.
