As I grew older, the spells became more frequent and more severe; the only relief physicians could give me was by hypodermic 15 injections of morphine. Finally, after each spell, I would be prostrated for a day or two with the after-effect of the morphine. I was entirely healed of this trouble through 18 the study of Science and Health. I think I never realized what fear meant until I began to try and put into practice my understanding of Christian Science for my children. 21 I have proved, however, many times, that fear can neither help nor hinder in our demonstration of truth. The first time I realized this was in the overcoming of 24 a severe case of croup for my little boy. I was awakened one night by the sound that seems to bring terror to every mother's heart, and found the little 27 fellow sitting up in bed, gasping for breath. I got up, took him in my arms, and went into the next room. My first thought was, "O if only there was another 30 Christian Scientist in town!" But there was not, and the work must be done and done quickly. I tried 1 to treat him, but was so frightened I could not think; so I picked up Science and Health, which lay on the 3 table beside me, and began reading a...loud. I had read but a few lines when these words came to me as though a voice spoke, "The word of God is quick, and powerful, 6 and sharper than any two-edged sword." Almost im- mediately after, the little one said, "Mamma, sing 'Shep- herd,' " — our Leader's hymn, that both the big and 9 the little children love. I began singing, and commenc- ing with the second line, the little voice joined me. I shall never forget the feeling of joy and peace that came 12 over me, when I realized how quickly God's word, through Science and Health and the beautiful hymn, had accom- plished the healing work. This is only one of many 15 instances in which the power of God's word to heal has been demonstrated in our home. — A. J. G., River- side, Cal. Read more
