The joy that came to me with Christian Science makes me feel so grateful that I needs must do unto others as I have been done by; in other words, help to spread the glad tidings of peace on earth. It has not been long since I became vitally interested in this wonderful truth, yet I feel that more has been accomplished during this time than in all the years before. I have had many demonstrations of the healing efficacy of Christian Science as taught in "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mrs. Eddy. Among these is one which stands out with special clearness, and for which deep gratitude is felt.
A few months after becoming interested in Christian Science, I was assailed with what the physician pronounced ptomaine poisoning, and called for help from a dear friend, a Christian Scientist, who at once took up treatment for me. My suffering was intense, and after she had been with me for two nights it seemed as though the end was near. Not being a Scientist, my mother grew fearful and wished to call a physician. At first I rebelled against this and allowed human will to govern my consciousness, but the practitioner caused me to see the error of this attitude. She then left me with the admonition that "one with God is a majority," and the physician was called. Fifteen minutes before his arrival I was perfectly easy, and calling my mother to me told her how impossible it would be for me to use material means. She still wanted a diagnosis, however, so I consented to see the doctor. I shall never forget the peaceful feeling that took possession of me while telling him that I could not take his medicine as it was not needed.
Never a day comes which does not find my reasons for gratitude increased, and I am holding fast the hope that I may be permitted so to voice the truth as to be worthy of the name Christian Scientist. I can but add my words of praise to God for Christian Science, and I am indeed grateful to our beloved Leader that she has restored to us the seamless garment.— Tyler, Texas.
