Our little town was quarantined, school closed, and homes on either side of ours were placarded "Small-pox."
In one of these homes there had been for a few weeks a copy of Science and Health, and the father called to me from the rear door, "Are you afraid to help my daughter?" The reply was, "God will heal your child; I am not afraid to do my part." She soon arose and in a few hours was well. Later the call came to help the mother. This case seemed to them hopeless, but with the aid of Christian Science she was speedily restored to health.
Some of the members of our family allayed fear among the people by speaking freely of the nothingness of the epidemic. All these statements had to be proven.
