Eminent physicians treated me for hereditary consumption, torpid liver, and many other diseases. I 12 sought relief at famous springs, the ozone of Florida, and the pure air of Colorado, but in vain. My life was one ceaseless torture. 15 During all this time, however, I was an earnest seeker after Truth. I examined every religious teaching with a calm and unprejudiced attention. From an orthodox 18 Protestant I became a skeptic, and a follower of Voltaire, Tom Paine, and Ingersoll; yet all the while I retained faith in a supreme intelligent Being who made all. Sick, 21 weary, doubting, and despairing, I accidentally went into a Christian Science church in New York City, on a Wed- nesday evening, not knowing what kind of a place it was. 24 Seeing a large number of people going into the build- ing, I followed, supposing that a marriage ceremony had attracted the crowd. Being informed it was their 27 regular Wednesday evening service, I inquired as to the denomination. I concluded that it was another new fad, but after investigation I procured a copy of Science and 30 Health, promising I would read it carefully. I began 1 reading the book on Tuesday and finished on Friday of the same week. I was still in the dark. I laid the book 3 down, involuntarily closed my eyes, and sile...ntly prayed to God. I remained in that attitude a few moments, when I 6 felt like the mariner who had been tossed for days upon a boisterous sea, the clouds bending low, the billows rolling high, all nature wrapped in darkness; in his de- 9 spair he kneels and commits his soul to God, when he suddenly beholds the North Star breaking through the clouds, enabling him to guide his ship to the shores of 12 safety. Many things were made plain to me. I saw that there is one Fatherhood of God and one brother- hood of man; that though "once I was blind, now I see;" 15 that there was no more pain, nor aches, no fear, nor in- digestion. I slept that night like a babe and awoke next morning refreshed. There are now no traces whatever of 18 my former complaint and I feel like a new being. — L. P., New York, N. Y. Read more
