I was sitting in a saloon in Leadville, Col., reading a daily paper of that place. My eyes lighted upon an article 15 which spoke of some peculiar people in Boston who claimed to have discovered how to heal as Jesus healed. I do not remember much of the article, but those words 18 stayed with me. I had drifted out to Colorado from New York City (my home), where I had been under the treatment of many 21 leading physicians. The last one, who was too honest to take my money knowing that he could not cure me, advised me to keep away from doctors and quit taking 24 medicine, as nothing but death could cure me. My trouble was pronounced by some to be Bright's disease, by others gravel on the kidneys with very acute inflam- 27 mation of the bladder and prostate gland. In the spring of 1888 my wife and myself were spend- ing the evening at the house of a gentleman whose wife 30 had been healed in the East by Christian Science. The 1 gentleman took a book from its bookcase saying, "Here is a work on Christian Science." It proved to be Science 3 and Health. I knew as soon as I had read the title-page that this was... the very book we wanted. We immediately sent for the book, and when it arrived we obeyed the angel 6 and feasted on it. I was very much prejudiced against the Bible, and my first demonstration over self was to consent to read the four Gospels. My wife bought me a 9 New Testament and I began to read it. What a change came over me! All my prejudice was gone in an instant! When I read the Master's words, I caught his meaning 12 and the lesson he tried to convey. It was not difficult for me to accept the whole Bible, for I could not help myself, I was just captured. The disease with which I had been 15 troubled for years tormented me worse than ever for about six months, as if trying to turn me aside; but I lost all fear of it. 18 I kept up my study of Science and Health and the dis- ease disappeared. I can honestly say that Science and Health was my only healer, and it has been my only 21 teacher. — R. A. C., Los Angeles, Cal. Read more
