I was first attracted to Christian Science by seeing what it was doing for my sister-in-law, and it is with a sense of gratitude to God that I testify to our little son's almost instantaneous healing. He was cross and fussy on a Friday and appeared very feverish. I treated him as we are taught to do in Christian Science, but the next morning he was broken out with a rash and did not want any breakfast. I telephoned to a practitioner, who advised us to comply with the health department laws in regard to so-called contagious diseases. The physician promptly declared it to be a case of scarlet fever, and notified the board of health, who quarantined the patient. The practitioner treated the child and family for fear, and left the beautiful thought impressed on all that there is no law of contagion in divine Mind. No material remedies were used. In two days the rash had entirely disappeared. The child had a healthy appetite and played around as usual, and there was no peeling. I had an attack at the same time, but it was entirely overcome in three days through the loving help of the practitioner. The treatments were all given absently. Glasses, which I wore for sixteen years and which the specialist said would always be necessary, were removed through the demonstration of Christian Science.
I am especially grateful for these experiences, which have added much to my understanding of Christian Science and my confidence in God's law; also for the knowledge that divine Love is an ever present help in time of trouble. I am thankful to our beloved Leader, who has given us this beautiful truth.— Everett, Wash.
