Eleven years ago my mother, who had taken up the study of Christian Science for healing, asked me to get the textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy, and read it. I did so, and while reading the chapter on Prayer, was healed of anæmia and chronic indigestion. The greatest blessing I received, however, as I continued the study, was a better understanding of God, an understanding I had been longing for since childhood. Through this I was enabled to give up reliance on medicine, and have ever since depended entirely on Christian Science to overcome all discordant conditions, including pneumonic influenza, skin eruption, and constipation.
Nearly five years ago I proved the wonderful power of this truth in the almost painless birth of our girl and boy twins. Through the faithful work of a practitioner various beliefs of danger held by doctor and nurse were met at once; and so marked was the demonstration in each case that the nurse, who knew nothing of Christian Science, said that these things could have happened only because I was a "perfect specimen of perfect health;" but even then, she admitted, it was incomprehensible!
I am grateful beyond expression for the health of our children. Wrong conditions, such as gastritis, constipation, earache, have been instantly overcome by Truth. The Sunday school teaching is loved and absorbed by both of the little ones, who are proving that the kingdom of heaven is indeed in the childlike thought.
