I took up Christian Science in February, 1907, at which time I was healed of appendicitis. All my friends insisted that I should have an operation, but some members of the family who were Christian Scientists advised my trying Christian Science treatment. Chronic bowel and stomach trouble was completely healed while I was being treated, and I have remained well. Along with my healing came spiritual light and an insight into Christian Science.
Previous to my healing I was antagonistic to Christian Science, but since I learned of this healing truth I have had some wonderful demonstrations in my daily life. My work is connected with a railroad company, in the operating department, and I have supervision of considerable territory and the repairing of machinery. Christian Science has aided me wonderfully in planning the work for myself and others, and it has also eliminated a great deal of friction in dealing with other men. It has helped me to realize the allness of God, divine Love. By reflecting love to my fellow-men I have been enabled to get more harmonious results from those who are working under my instructions than I had ever hoped for before. The more I am able to realize the nothingness of discord or in harmony in my work the more harmonious it becomes.
The power of Truth was again beautifully proven last fall by the healing of my little girl of a rheumatic attack following a relapse after a fever. She seemed to be dangerously ill. and for a time could not walk a step; but every difficulty has been overcome, and she is now manifesting perfect health. This was a wonderful healing. Often the remark is made by friends, "How well she looks!" She is now attending school and is a very energetic child.
