Should I be asked to enumerate the blessings Christian Science has brought to me in the span of the three years during which I have tried to live its loving, holy precepts, I could but answer that they are too numerous to mention, but I cannot resist citing a few instances of God's ever-present help. My husband, whose health was in a very precarious condition, the after-effects of a long siege of pneumonia and grip and despair, clung to the promise that his health and happiness could be restored, and tried Christian Science. The trial proved so satisfactory that I took up the study to find what it could possibly be that seemed to do this wonderful healing; and before I was aware of it, I was cured of a severe bronchial and throat trouble of twenty years' standing, which able throat specialists had tried in vain to cure, and declared themselves incapable of curing so long as I lived in this climate and so near Lake Michigan. My cough, bronchitis, and throat trouble have entirely disappeared and I no longer know what it means to take cold; yet the climate has not changed nor the lake receded. Many physical ailments have I seen melt into their native nothingness through this glorious law of God. Only a few days ago a case of croup, almost before my very eyes melted into its native nothingness, and the dear little child was soon sound asleep, to awaken the next morning his usual happy, healthy, rosy self.
For all this I am unspeakably grateful, but this is only the "bugle call to thought and action" (Rudimental Divine Science, p. 9), as our beloved Leader says, for the spiritual understanding of man's relationship to God outweighs all else.—
