It is about four years since this blessed truth found us...

From the January 1905 issue of The Christian Science Journal


It is about four years since this blessed truth found us most wretched and miserable, but now all is changed, for I have proved that God is All in all. When I was married, over three years ago, I came to live with my husband's folks, who had found this blessed truth a short time before.

People are surprised to think one house will hold two families, but they do not know that in Truth and Love we are one family, and where God, Spirit, dwells, all is peace and harmony. Little did I then think that I would ever be a Christian Scientist, although I had never said very much about Science either way. I felt it was wrong to condemn it, but I did not realize that in such a short time I should be lifted out of darkness into the light.

I became very sick, and my parents asked me what they should do for me, and of course I chose my medicines, as I had always taken drugs since a little child; but this time they did not relieve me, so mother sat down by me and soon I found relief and went to sleep. Next day I gathered up all my drugs and destroyed them, and since then the Bible and Mrs. Eddy's works have been my medicine. Since I have gained this blessed truth, I have been able, through my mother's understanding and my own, to demolish all fear of scrofula, rheumatism, tonsilitis, and a goitre that was growing very rapidly, besides other troubles that I do not wish to name. About fifteen months ago our home was blessed with a little girl, and very soon error appeared and told me I should not nurse my child; but I am happy to say she has never had to take drugs, and I hope to raise her to know that Christ, Truth, is her best friend.
