Some thirteen years ago, I was overcome by nervous prostration. Materia medica was tried, but I received no benefit. Christian Science was then presented to me. I grasped at it as a drowning man would grasp at a straw. I had often heard of this beautiful religion, but had never felt the need of it, for previous to this time I had always been strong and healthy. Treatment was begun for me by a loving practitioner, and although the healing came very slowly, at the end of six months I had a most beautiful, peaceful day. Then I felt that Christian Science must be the truth. Since then Christian Science has been our only help and physician, and has never failed when we have applied it rightly.
A few years ago, while coasting down a hill near our home, our daughter was struck by a milk wagon. The rear wheels of the wagon passed over her body. I picked her up and brought her into the house, declaring all the time that God's child could not be hurt. On removing her clothing, we found only a few slight discolorations on her body, which disappeared in a short time. Soon she was playing, and felt no ill effects from the experience. We were indeed most grateful for this protection of divine Love.
We have had many proofs in our home of the power of Christian Science to heal, and I am most grateful to God for having given to this age a woman so pure and courageous as Mrs. Eddy, who saw this blessed truth so clearly in her study of the Bible that she could give it to the world.
