I think I was never more grateful for the healing power of Christian Science than in two experiences. Blood poisoning started in my right hand, and immediately spread to the shoulder, causing swelling at the same time. There seemed great fear; and the help of a Christian Science practitioner was asked for. Almost immediately the trouble was checked; and in less than a week all traces of it had disappeared, except an abrasion on my thumb, which soon vanished.
Soon afterward our little son was taken with pneumonia. Again help in Science was called for. For two or three days we had a severe struggle with fear and fever. Then, when everything seemed darkest (I believe I have never known a darker hour, on account of intense opposition to our reliance upon Truth instead of materia medica), there seemed so much confusion I cried again for help; and in half an hour a wonderful peace settled upon the whole household. By morning the fever had disappeared entirely. Before the end of the week the baby was again at play. Need I say that I am grateful for the loving help that was so quickly given, and to the beloved Leader of Christian Science, Mary Baker Eddy, who discovered and gave to the world this healing Science?— Oklahoma, Okla.
