When I was a boy about thirteen years old, our mother, who had been sick continuously for a long time, decided to try Christian Science, although there were then few who knew anything about it. To our great surprise it was only a few days before she was up, restored to health; and that was twenty-four years ago. Of course we studied the subject with her and read "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mrs. Eddy; but we did not realize what value there was in its teachings.
I went out into the world in that same way, reading when I had time. If anything of importance went wrong I always had my dear mother to help me, for she was most ready to come to me no matter where I was; and I will say that she helped or came to me often.
Nothing seemed to go right until about a year ago, when I began to think for myself, to see my faults and to strive to overcome them. I have seemingly had many a hard fight, but thanks be to God, to my mother, and to Mrs. Eddy for the blessings of Christian Science, which not only heals all kinds of diseases but the worst kind of trouble and sin. I want to gain more of this blessing, so that my wife and I may be better, and live such lives as will perhaps help others to reach the truth.— Wichita, Kan.
