HEALTH AND PEACE GAINED
21 About nine years ago I was drawn to Christian
Science by a relative whose many afflictions had given
place to health and harmony, and whose loving grati-
24 tude was reflected in every word and deed. The
thought came to me, God indeed healeth all our
diseases.
27 My first reading of Science and Health was without
understanding. I was full of darkness and gloom, and
it was laid aside for a time. The good seed had been
30 sown, however, and erelong the reading was resumed,
1 and with such interest that my afflictions disappeared
"like mist before the morning sun." Asthma (thought
3 to be hereditary), neuralgia in an aggravated form, and
besides these, the tobacco and liquor habit of many years'
standing left me. Bless the Lord, "He sent his word"
6 and healed me, — for the reading of Science and Health
brought to my consciousness the truth that makes free.
