I wish to make public acknowledgment of the many blessings I have received from the study of Christian Science.
I took up this study many years ago for a loved one for whom materia medica offered no aid. While he did not remain with us, he was given such great relief from pain and received so much help spiritually from his study, and we were so wonderfully sustained at his passing, that I knew I had found a religion I could not deny, and I continued my study until, at last, I knew I had found Truth.
I should like to tell of a healing our little boy experienced several years ago, after he swallowed a poison tablet, thinking it was candy. The lad was about three years old, and I had left him asleep in the care of an aunt who was visiting us, while I went to the store near by. When I returned I found him very ill; the aunt said he had been playing on the floor near her suitcase when he suddenly began vomiting, and she had not been able to quiet him. I took the child and began working for him very earnestly. His retching became increasingly violent, and I thought perhaps she had given him a sedative, as she was not at all in sympathy with Science. I began to work to rid my thinking of any feeling of resentment or antagonism. I knew that, whatever had taken place, love had been the motive. In a short while other relatives entered the room and told me to get him ready to rush to the hospital to have his stomach pumped, for the aunt had discovered he had opened a bottle that contained a poison tablet which she was sure he had eaten.
