9 | 0 | S&H 18 | 0 | 7 Terms for God ~ 3 Soul ~ Mankind Redeemed ~ SH 466 | Show all | The term souls or spirits is as improper as the term gods. Soul or Spirit signifies Deity and nothing else. There is no finite soul nor spirit. Soul or Spirit means only one Mind, and cannot be rendered in the plural. Heathen mythology and Jewish theology have perpetuated the fallacy that intelligence, soul, and life can be in matter; and idolatry and ritualism are the outcome of all man-made beliefs. The Science of Christianity comes with fan in hand to separate the chaff from the wheat. Science will declare God aright, and Christianity will demonstrate this declaration and its divine Principle, making mankind better physically, morally, and spiritually. [SH 466] |

10 | 0 | S&H 18 | 0 | 7 Terms for God ~ 4 Principle ~ Science interprets the Principle ~ SH 376 | Show all | Principle must be stated accurately in its Science. Principle is the Principle of all sciences Principle interprets itself through its system of categories, classifications, and self-operating calculus. Principle explains itself by interpreting itself Principle is always working as a self-operating Principle. Principle proves itself through a system of ideas and interrelationships. Principle unites all into one through relationship, bringing all into relationship with Principle. [SH 376] |

11 | 0 | S&H 18 | 0 | 7 Terms for God ~ 5 Life ~ SH 548 | Show all | How little light or heat reach our earth when clouds cover the sun's face! So Christian Science can be seen only as the clouds of corporeal sense roll away. The clouds Earth has little light or joy for mortals before dissolving Life is spiritually learned. Every agony of mortal error helps error to destroy error, and so aids the apprehension of immortal Truth. This is the new birth going on hourly, by which men may entertain angels, the true ideas of God, the spiritual sense of being. [SH 548] |

12 | 0 | S&H 18 | 0 | 7 Terms for God ~ 6 Truth ~ MISC 346 | Show all | Truth versus Error ~ "A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in pictures of silver." It is a rule in Christian Science never to repeat error unless it becomes requisite to bring out Truth. Then lift the curtain, let in the light, and countermand this first command of Solomon, "Answer not a fool according to his folly, lest thou also be like unto him." A distant rumbling and quivering of the earth foretell the internal action of pent-up gas. To avoid danger from this source people have to escape from their houses to the open space. A conical cloud, hanging like a horoscope in the air, foreshadows a cyclone. To escape from this calamity people prepare shelter in caves of the earth. They who discern the face of the skies cannot always discern the mental signs of these times, and peer through the opaque error. Where my vision begins and is clear, theirs grows indistinct and ends.

13 | 0 | S&H 18 | 0 | 7 Terms for God ~ 7 Love ~ MISC 8 | Show all | Love Your Enemies ~ Who is thine enemy that thou shouldst love him? Is it a creature or a thing outside thine own creation? Can you see an enemy, except you first formulate this enemy and then look upon the object of your own conception? What is it that harms you? Can height, or depth, or any other creature separate you from the Love that is omnipresent good, — that blesses infinitely one and all? Simply count your enemy to be that which defiles, defaces, and dethrones the Christ-image that you should reflect. Whatever purifies, sanctifies, and consecrates human life, is not an enemy, however much we suffer in the process. Shakespeare writes: "Sweet are the uses of adversity." Jesus said: "Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake; for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you."

20 | 673 | S&H 18 | 0 | accident effects overcome | Show all | AN EVER-PRESENT HELP FOUND 24 On the 23rd of March, 1900, I received from one of my daughters a copy of Science and Health on my seventy-first birthday. Although a constant reader of all kinds of papers 27 and books, I had never heard anything of Christian Sci- ence, except a short notice that spring in a San Francisco newspaper, from an orthodox clergyman, referring to the 30 Christian Science people in not very complimentary style. 1 In Mrs. Eddy's book I came across a great deal of thought that was not readily understood at the first read- 3 ing, but by continued and careful study, and a good deal of help from my knowledge of chemistry and natu- ral philosophy, I soon shook off the belief of sensation 6 in matter, — the so-called elementary substance. One afternoon I put the belt on my circular saw to cut blocks of firewood and also to split a small stick of frame tim- 9 ber. In doing this the stick closed and pinched the saw. I picked up a small wooden wedge and tried to drive it into the saw kerf, but a bit of ice let the stick on to the 12 back of the saw and instantly it flew, with heavy force, into my face, and bouncing off my left cheek fell about twenty feet off on the snow. The blood spattered on the 15 snow next the saw table, and on feeling with my hand there were two wounds, one on the lock of the jaw and another forward, as big as a dollar, on the cheek bone. 18 "Now," I thought to myself, "there is a case of surgery for you," and without further ceremony, I began to treat the case to the best of my knowledge, with the 21 result that the bleeding stopped almost instantly, and so did a thumping pain, which had commenced. I paid no more attention to the matter, but finished my 24 work, and then went to supper. When I washed my face, I felt a big lump on the jawbone where the block of wood struck, but after my usual reading I went to 27 bed and slept all night until near daylight, when a pain on the right side awoke me. On feeling with my hand there was another big lump on the right side, but I 30 treated it and went to sleep again. I never lost an hour from the hurt, although I found out that my jaw was broken. There is no scar, only a little red spot on 1 the cheek, and the lumps on the bone have long since disappeared. 3 In summing up the benefits I have received from the reading of Science and Health, I can but refer to a condition of sickness dating back to the war (1862), 6 when chronic and malignant diarrhoea came near making an end of my material existence. My hearing, also, was seriously impaired from the effect of cannon 9 firing at Shiloh, but it has come back to me, and where I formerly dared not eat an orange, or grapes, I can now eat anything without being hurt. My peace of mind 12 is giving me a rest which I never experienced before during my life, and I have ceased to look away off for the divine presence that was always near, though I did 15 not know it. — L. B., Baldy, N. M. |

21 | 605 | S&H 18 | 0 | accident from bicycle healed | Show all | A CASE OF MENTAL SURGERY 24 I have felt for some time I should give my experience in mental surgery. In May, 1902, going home for lunch, on a bicycle, and while riding down a hill at a 27 rapid gait, I was thrown from the wheel, and falling on my left side with my arm under my head, the bone was broken about half-way between the shoulder and 30 elbow. While the pain was intense, I lay still in the dust, 1 declaring the truth and denying that there could be a break or accident in the realm of divine Love, 3 until a gentleman came to assist me, saying, he thought I had been stunned. I was only two and a half blocks from home, so I mounted my wheel again 6 and managed to reach it. On arriving there I lay down and asked my little boy to bring me our text- book. He immediately brought Science and Health, 9 which I read for about ten minutes, when all pain left. I said nothing to my family of the accident, but at- tended to some duties and was about half an hour late 12 in returning to the office, this being my only loss of time from work. My friends claimed that the arm had not been broken, as it would have been impossible for me to 15 continue my work without having it set, and carrying it in a sling until the bone knit together. Their insistence almost persuaded me that I might have been mistaken, 18 until one of my friends invited me to visit a physician's office where they were experimenting with an X-ray ma- chine. The physician was asked to examine my left 21 arm to see if it differed from the ordinary. On look- ing through it, he said, "Yes, it has been broken, but whoever set it made a perfect job of it, and you will 24 never have any further trouble from that break." My friend then asked the doctor to show how he could tell where the break had been. The doctor pointed 27 out the place as being slightly thicker at that part, like a piece of steel that had been welded. This was the first of several cases of mental surgery that 30 have come under my notice, and it made a deep impression on me. 1 For the benefit of others who may have something similar to meet, I will say that I have overcome almost 3 constant attacks of sick headaches, extending back to my earliest recollection. — L. C. S., Salt Lake City, Utah. |

There is no wane, God is the source of all supply, and man has instantly every- thing that he needs. There are infinite ideas available to man, and these ideas continually unfold to him with absolute, unfailing regularity. "TIN law of Ihe urd i.r fMrfttl" (Ps. 19: 7).

For this you can realise that: there is no fear, man has absolute trust in God, trust in good; he can never be in want, and knows that he: can never be in want, for there are infinite ideas available to man instantly, Man is always passing on ideas to his fellow man, and he knuws that there arc infinite further ideas to draw upon. There is no want of justice, God is the Principle of all justice and man is absolutely just. Sometimes injustice comes from sheer carelessness and thoughtlessness. For this it can be realised that man is never careless, man is always accurate and doing what is right, manifesting the exactitude which is Principle; he is constantly. loving and benefiting his fellow man, for man is governed by God and by God alone and is ahsolutely fair and just. |

33 | 621 | S&H 18 | 0 | aches healed | Show all | HEALTH AND PEACE ATTAINED 9 For fifteen years I was a great sufferer physically and mentally. 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 silently 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. |

34 | 686 | S&H 18 | 0 | aches healed | Show all | HEALED PHYSICALLY AND SPIRITUALLY I had been taking medicine continually for many 12 years. Finally I was taken suddenly ill and could not leave my room for about two months, then I went away for three months, thinking that I should come back 15 and be able to continue my work. I improved very much, but the fear of quick consumption was with my doctor and my family and friends, and I was warned about the 18 coming winter. Only too soon the fear manifested itself. I had worked just three weeks when all the pains and aches returned, and I had to go to bed as soon as I 21 got home, so there was no pleasure in living. My em- ployer advised me to see my physician, and said perhaps I should not work that winter. I then and there turned 24 to Christian Science. I could not afford to give up work and live away from home, neither did I want to depend on doctors and medicine any longer. I took the book 27 and read it on my way to work, and at noon I lay down on a couch instead of going out for luncheon and fell asleep. When I awoke I was a different person, all 30 pains and aches had gone, and I was free. I was so 1 happy I could hardly contain myself; to material sense it was wonderful. As I walked I kept saying, 3 "Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful," and tried to un- derstand "the scientific statement of being" by repeat- ing portions at a time, then pondering over them. I 6 read the book four times in succession, and every time I found more and more to aid in the under- standing. 9 This healing was in October, 1901, with no other help than Science and Health, and soon I was relieved of other chronic ailments. In February I was able to 12 put away eyeglasses, which I had worn ten years and a half for astigmatism. Oculists told me I would always have to wear them. A month later my father asked 15 me to help him, as he was suffering so much from con- stipation, dyspepsia, and neuralgia. He had been sub- sisting on bran, nearly starving himself until he was most 18 miserable, and his limbs seemed so cold that they were kept wrapped in blankets. I felt very humble as he asked me, and told him I would have a practitioner help 21 him, as I had never treated any one; but he would not consent to have any one but myself, and I finally told him I would try, but that he must not hold Science respon- 24 sible if he were not benefited, for my lack of understand- ing, and not Science, would be at fault. At my request he read Science and Health, ate whatever he wanted, 27 and used no medicine in any form. After two treat- ments I received word from him that he was healed of that bondage of thirty years' standing. In view of 30 all these signs which followed my acceptance of Chris- tian Science, I knew it must be true. — R. L. A., Chicago, Ill. |

The 30 attending physician declared that I could live but a short 1 time, and I felt there would be a limit to my endur- ance of the torture, but the disease was dissipated into 3 nothingness through Christian Science, which brought me peace. Like many others I had been seemingly lost in the 6 sea of error, without a compass, yet earnestly and hon- estly seeking a haven. I had investigated all kinds of religions and philosophies that came under my notice, 9 with the exception of Christian Science, which was not then deemed worthy of inquiry, and yet it held the very truth I was searching for — the light which 12 "shineth in the darkness; and the darkness com- prehended it not." Three years of stubborn resist- ance to Truth, with increasing suffering, followed — 15 then the light came, and with it a new experience. Now, after nine years of Christian Science experience, under severe tests, it can be truthfully said that it 18 has not failed me in any hour of need. — J. F. J., Cincinnati, Ohio. |

I had been treated by doctors and spe- cialists; had taken magnetic treatments and osteopathy; 18 had tried change of climate; had an operation in a hospital, and when I came out was worse than before. I was so discouraged, after I had tried everything I ever heard 21 of, and was no better but rather grew worse, that it seemed as though I must give up trying to get well, when a friend suggested that I try Christian Science. I had heard 24 that Christian Scientists healed by prayer, and I thought this must be the way Jesus had healed. I felt that this was all there was left for me to try. I sent for the book, 27 Science and Health, and commenced to read it out of curiosity, not thinking or knowing that I could be helped by the reading, but thinking I must still take medicine 30 and that I must also have treatment by a Scientist. I, 1 however, dropped my medicine and read for three days; then a light began to shine in the darkness. I was healed 3 of the trouble and have never had to take medicine since. I have studied Science and Health faithfully ever since, and other ailments have disappeared. My little daughter 6 has also been healed and has learned to use this knowledge in her school work. — Mrs. O. R., Leadville, Col. |

50 | 643 | S&H 18 | 0 | ailments healed | Show all | GRATEFUL FOR MORAL AND SPIRITUAL AWAKENING About four years ago, after I had tried different ways 30 and means to be relieved from bodily suffering, a faith- 1 ful friend called my attention to the teaching of Chris- tian Science. After some opposition, I decided to in- 3 vestigate it, with the thought that if this teaching would be helpful, it was meant for me as well as for others; if it did not afford any help, I could put it aside again, but 6 that I would find out and be convinced. After I had read Mrs. Eddy's work, Science and Health, a few days, I found that my ailments had disappeared, 9 and a rest had come to me which I had never before known. I had smoked almost incessantly, although I had often determined to use my will power and never smoke again, 12 but had always failed. This desire as well as the de- sire for drink simply disappeared, and I wish to say here, that I received all these benefits before I had gained much 15 understanding of what I was reading. Like a prisoner, who had been in chains for years, I was suddenly set free. I did not then know how the chain had been removed, 18 but I had to acknowledge that it came through the reading of this book. I then felt an ardent desire to read more, and to know what this power was that had freed me 21 in a few days of that which I had been trying for years to shake off and had failed. It then became clear to me that this was the truth which Jesus Christ taught 24 and preached to free humanity almost two thousand years ago. It did not, however, occur to me to apply it in my business affairs; on the contrary, I first thought 27 that if I continued in my study I would have to retire from business. This did not happen, however, for I gradually found 30 that the little understanding of this wonderful teach- ing which I had acquired became a great help to me in my business. I became more friendly, more honest, 1 more loving to my fellow-men; and I also acquired better judgment and was able to do the right thing at the right 3 time. As a natural result my business improved. Be- fore I knew anything of Christian Science my business had often been a burden to me, fear and worry deprived 6 me of my rest. How different it is now! Through the study of the Bible, which now possesses unmeasurable treasures for me, and of our textbook, Science and Health, 9 and the other works of our Leader, I receive peace and confidence in God and that insight into character which is necessary for the correct management of any business. 12 — W.

The kidneys cannot function badly, they arc the knowledge of God as Spirit, the Principle which maintains all purity and holiness. |

For these I had been treated by some of the best specialists in my native land, and after coming to the United States I had been doctored 6 much and had worn glasses for four years. I also had catarrh, for which I had taken much medicine without being relieved. In addition to this I was an excessive 9 smoker, using tobacco in some form almost constantly. I had contracted a smoker's heart, and used liquors freely. 12 The one who brought to me that which I now prize so highly, was a book agent. I told him that I should be forced to leave my trade on account of my eyes. 15 He then told me of having been healed of a cancer, through Christian Science treatment. He showed me a copy of Science and Health, which had the signs of 18 much use, and after being assured that if I did my part I would be healed of all my diseases, I sent for a copy of the book. 21 My recovery was very rapid, for after reading the book only three weeks I was completely healed of the tobacco habit. I will say, in regard to this healing, 24 that it did not require even as much as a resolution on my part. I was smoking a cigar, while reading Science and Health, when all the desire to continue 27 smoking left me, and I have never had a desire to use tobacco in any form since then. My eyes were the next to manifest the influence of the new knowledge 30 gained, and had soon so far recovered that I could go about my work with ease, and I have had no more use for glasses. To-day my heart is normal, the catarrh 1 has totally disappeared, and I am not addicted to the use of liquor. 3 Christian Science has proved to be an ever-present help, not only in overcoming physical ailments, but in business and daily life. It has also overcome a great 6 sense of fear. The Bible, which I regarded with suspicion, has become my guide, and Christianity has become a sweet reality, because the Christian Science 9 textbook has indeed been a "Key to the Scriptures" and has breathed through the Gospel pages a sweet sense of harmony. — A.

54 | 643 | S&H 18 | 0 | alcohol healed | Show all | GRATEFUL FOR MORAL AND SPIRITUAL AWAKENING About four years ago, after I had tried different ways 30 and means to be relieved from bodily suffering, a faith- 1 ful friend called my attention to the teaching of Chris- tian Science. After some opposition, I decided to in- 3 vestigate it, with the thought that if this teaching would be helpful, it was meant for me as well as for others; if it did not afford any help, I could put it aside again, but 6 that I would find out and be convinced. After I had read Mrs. Eddy's work, Science and Health, a few days, I found that my ailments had disappeared, 9 and a rest had come to me which I had never before known. I had smoked almost incessantly, although I had often determined to use my will power and never smoke again, 12 but had always failed. This desire as well as the de- sire for drink simply disappeared, and I wish to say here, that I received all these benefits before I had gained much 15 understanding of what I was reading. Like a prisoner, who had been in chains for years, I was suddenly set free. I did not then know how the chain had been removed, 18 but I had to acknowledge that it came through the reading of this book. I then felt an ardent desire to read more, and to know what this power was that had freed me 21 in a few days of that which I had been trying for years to shake off and had failed. It then became clear to me that this was the truth which Jesus Christ taught 24 and preached to free humanity almost two thousand years ago. It did not, however, occur to me to apply it in my business affairs; on the contrary, I first thought 27 that if I continued in my study I would have to retire from business. This did not happen, however, for I gradually found 30 that the little understanding of this wonderful teach- ing which I had acquired became a great help to me in my business. I became more friendly, more honest, 1 more loving to my fellow-men; and I also acquired better judgment and was able to do the right thing at the right 3 time. As a natural result my business improved. Be- fore I knew anything of Christian Science my business had often been a burden to me, fear and worry deprived 6 me of my rest. How different it is now! Through the study of the Bible, which now possesses unmeasurable treasures for me, and of our textbook, Science and Health, 9 and the other works of our Leader, I receive peace and confidence in God and that insight into character which is necessary for the correct management of any business. 12 — W.

65 | 38 | Rawson | 0 | Anaemia | Show all | There is no poverty of the blood, the blood is the joy circulating throughout consciousness, perfect, rich, divine and holy joy. It cannot be impoverished, for it is eternally divine, "yollr joy no man tahth from you" (John 16 : 22), for, "yollr life il bid witb Christ in God" (Col. :I : 3). "God my exceeding joy" (Ps. 43 : 4). Man's blood is not material, it is spiritual and remains unchangeably pure and perfect. One form of anaemia is characterised by deficiency of red blood corpuscles, the main object of which is to carry oxygen to the tissues. Here you can realise that there is no deficiency in red corpuscles of the blood, man's blood is the joy which reflects substance and is full, complete and perfect, reflecting entity, always the same. There is no want of oxygen, God's ideas are perfect, full and complete, and always in the right place whenever needed. (Work for activity of the spleen). There is no lassitude, man is the consciousness of infinite strength, joyous strength, for "tbe joy of th, Lord is j'ollr slrenglh" (Neh. 8 : 10). There is no shortness of breath, for breathing is the action of Life and Love, calm, peaceful and harmonious; man is God's consciousness, and the receiving and radiating forth again of God's ideas is a sweet and joyous activity.

71 | 39 | Rawson | 0 | Animal Magnetism | Show all | This is used by some metaphysical workers as a synonym for mortal mind, but this is a mistake. There are few enough words to express metaphysical terms as it is. Animal magnetism is more properly used to mean the worst kind of evil thoughts, such as make a child tear the wings off a fly, and men behave in the cruel way they do sometimes when at war. It also brings about the savage attacks that mental workers sometimes make upon their fellow workers, which attacks can only be expressed as forms of mania. One can work against this by realising that there is no animal magnetism, all is Spirit and the manifestation of Spirit, the Principle of all purity and holiness. |

72 | 39 | Rawson | 0 | Animals | Show all | Every idea of God reflects the whole of God, every aspect and quality to an infinite extent. Animals are very susceptible to thought, more so than human beings. It is as important to work for the moral qualities of animals as for human beings. I have found it successful to think of them as lesser ideas of God. In most ('a~es work against the trouble itself which is troubling the animal and ill this way you can treat as for a human being or for any idea of God. Work against mortal mind, thoughts of materia medica, fear, aggressive mental suggestion, mental malpractice, hypnotism, etc., just as if you were treating for a human being. The secret of 'success in dealing with animals is love and by treatment it is not at all difficult to entirely change the character of an animal; working, for instance, by the realisation of God as Love and rca\ising the absolute love there is in heaven, the world of reality.

None of God’s ideas can ever go in opposition to the other ideas of God, as Love is the power which causes all ideas to circulate.

Animals are God’s ideas which never take or destroy any idea of God, but are continually helping man; none of God’s ideas can possibly harm man, they always minister to and benefit man ; they are never in the wrong place, they are always in Mind, in God. “God, Spirit, alone created all, and failed it good” (S. & H. p. 339).

At that time I had been a chronic 15 invalid for a good many years. I had acute bowel trouble, bronchitis, and a number of other troubles. One physician had told me that my lungs were like wet paper, 18 ready to tear at any time, and I was filled with fear, as my mother, two brothers, and a sister had been vic- tims of consumption. I tried many physicians and 21 every material remedy that promised help, but no help came until I found a copy of Mrs. Eddy's book, Sci- ence and Health. The book was placed in my hands 24 by one who did not then appreciate it, and I was told that it would be hard for me to understand it. I com- menced reading it with this thought, but I caught beau- 27 tiful glimpses of Truth, which took away my fear and healed me of all those diseases, and they have never returned. 30 I would also like to tell how I was healed of a sprained 1 ankle. The accident occurred in the morning, and all that day and during the night I gave myself Christian 3 Science treatment, as best I could. The next morning it seemed to be no better, being very sore, badly swollen, and much discolored. Feeling that I had done all I could, 6 I decided to stop thinking about it. I took my copy of Science and Health and began reading. Very soon I became so absorbed in the book that I forgot all about 9 my ankle; it went entirely out of my thought, for I had a glimpse of all God's creation as spiritual, and for the time being lost sight of my material selfhood. After two 12 hours I laid the book down and walked into another room. When next I thought of my ankle, I found it was not hurt- ing me. The swelling had gone down, the black and blue 15 appearance had nearly vanished, and it was perfectly well. It was healed while I was "absent from the body" and "present with the Lord." This experience was worth 18 a great deal to me, for it showed me how the healing is done. — C. H., Portland, Ore. |

In May, 1902, going home for lunch, on a bicycle, and while riding down a hill at a 27 rapid gait, I was thrown from the wheel, and falling on my left side with my arm under my head, the bone was broken about half-way between the shoulder and 30 elbow. While the pain was intense, I lay still in the dust, 1 declaring the truth and denying that there could be a break or accident in the realm of divine Love, 3 until a gentleman came to assist me, saying, he thought I had been stunned. I was only two and a half blocks from home, so I mounted my wheel again 6 and managed to reach it. On arriving there I lay down and asked my little boy to bring me our text- book. He immediately brought Science and Health, 9 which I read for about ten minutes, when all pain left. I said nothing to my family of the accident, but at- tended to some duties and was about half an hour late 12 in returning to the office, this being my only loss of time from work. My friends claimed that the arm had not been broken, as it would have been impossible for me to 15 continue my work without having it set, and carrying it in a sling until the bone knit together. Their insistence almost persuaded me that I might have been mistaken, 18 until one of my friends invited me to visit a physician's office where they were experimenting with an X-ray ma- chine. The physician was asked to examine my left 21 arm to see if it differed from the ordinary. On look- ing through it, he said, "Yes, it has been broken, but whoever set it made a perfect job of it, and you will 24 never have any further trouble from that break." My friend then asked the doctor to show how he could tell where the break had been. The doctor pointed 27 out the place as being slightly thicker at that part, like a piece of steel that had been welded. This was the first of several cases of mental surgery that 30 have come under my notice, and it made a deep impression on me. 1 For the benefit of others who may have something similar to meet, I will say that I have overcome almost 3 constant attacks of sick headaches, extending back to my earliest recollection. — L.

While visiting friends in the southwestern part of On- 18 tario, about three years ago, my attention was called to Christian Science and the wonderful healing it was doing. I had lived in New York for twenty-five years, 21 but had never heard of Christian Science before, to my recollection. Up to that time, for seventeen years, I had suffered 24 with indigestion and gastritis in the worst form, often being overcome from a seeming pressure against the heart. I had asthma for four years, also had worn glasses for 27 four years. It seemed to me that I had swallowed every known medicine to relieve my indigestion, but they only gave me temporary benefit. I purchased a copy of Sci- 30 ence and Health, and simply from the reading of that 1 grand book I was completely healed of all my physical ailments in two weeks' time. I have used no medi- 3 cine from that day to this, and with God's help, and the wonderful light revealed to me through the reading of Mrs. Eddy's book, I never expect to again. I used 6 to smoke eight or ten cigars a day, and also took an occasional drink, but the desire for these has gone, — I feel forever. I travel on the road, and am constantly 9 being invited to indulge, but it is no effort to abstain, and in many instances I find that my refusal helps others. 12 While I fully appreciate the release from my physical troubles, this pales into insignificance in comparison with the spiritual uplifting Christian Science has brought me. 15 I had not been inside a church for more than ten years, to attend regular services, until I entered a Christian Science church. What I saw and realized there, seemed 18 so genuine that I loved Christian Science from the very start. I have never taken a treatment, — every inch of the way has been through study and practical demon- 21 stration, and I know that all can do the same thing if they will try. Since I have been in Science I have overcome a case of 24 ulcerated tooth in one night through the reading of Science and Health; also a severe attack of grip in thirty-six hours by obeying the Scripture saying, "Physician, heal thy- 27 self." — B.

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. — S., Shellman, Ga. |

It is nearly ten years since I began the investigation of the subject by borrowing a copy of Science and Health. I had become 15 a hopeless sufferer from asthma, — the disease being so aggravated at times as to make breathing almost impos- sible. I was also a victim of that dread disease, consump- 18 tion. It was hereditary, nearly all my family on both sides having passed away with it. I took up Christian Science very much as a drowning man catches at a straw. 21 However, I was much interested as soon as I began to understand it, and having read the book nearly all my waking hours for a few weeks, I became so much better 24 and so convinced of its truth, that myself and wife de- stroyed all the medicines in the home, and have never since used any remedy except Christian Science. I con- 27 tinued to study and to put into practice the teaching as best I knew, and was restored to health in a few months. Prior to my investigation of Christian Science I had 30 been from boyhood an outspoken infidel, had read that 1 class of literature extensively, and had no desire for anything of a religious nature, — the orthodox teaching 3 never having appealed to me as a rational exposition of an all-wise God. I now have no more doubt of the truth of the teaching of the great Way-shower, Jesus of Naza- 6 reth, than I doubt the correctness of the basic law of mathematics or music. I have no doubt whatever that Christian Science saved me from the grave, and thus 9 proved a most practicable and efficient help in time of greatest need. However great my physical suffering has been, I can but feel glad that through it the door of con- 12 sciousness was opened to let in the light of Truth. Thus I have progressed a little way in the knowledge of God, good, as revealed in Christian Science. — C. B., Webb 15 City, Mo. |

Where would I be now, had not this blessed truth been 30 brought to me by much persuasion of a very dear friend? 1 I certainly should have been deep in the slough of despond, if not in the grave. Am I truly thankful for all the good 3 that has come to me and mine? I try to let my works testify of that; but to those whom I do not meet in person, I can truly say, Yes; I am indeed more thankful than 6 words can express for the glorious healing that has come to me, both physical, mental, and moral, and I also con- vey herein, my song of gratitude to the dear Leader who 9 has through her fidelity to Truth enabled me to touch at least the hem of Christ's garment. — B.

113 | 658 | S&H 18 | 0 | astigmatism healed | Show all | A TESTIMONY FROM IRELAND It is with a heart full of love and gratitude to God, 18 and to our dear Leader, that I send this testimony to the Field. I had never been a strong girl; had always been subject to colds and chills, and suffered all my 21 life from a delicate throat. Seven years ago I had a very severe attack of rheumatic fever and subsequently two less severe ones. These left all sorts of evils be- 24 hind them, — debility, chronic constipation, and several others, so that with these ills my life was often a burden to me and I used to think I never should re- 27 ceive relief or health. I had also lost all love for God and faith in Him. I could not accept a God who, as I then believed, visited sickness and sorrow upon 30 His children as a means for drawing them to Him. 1 I was in this state of mind and body when Christian Science found me. A dear friend, seeing my suffering, 3 presented the truth to me, and though at first I did not believe that there could be healing for me, the Chris- tian Scientists' God seemed to be the one I had been 6 looking for all my life. I began to read Science and Health, and shall never forget my joy at finding that I could love and trust God. I took to studying the 9 Bible, and read nothing but Science and Health and other Christian Science literature for a year. After studying the "little book" for about six weeks, I one 12 day realized that I was a well woman, that I had taken no medicine for three weeks, and that my body was perfectly harmonious. The reading of Science and 15 Health had healed me. The wonderful joy and spirit- ual uplifting which came to me then no words of mine can describe. I had also suffered from astigmatism 18 and had for several years been obliged to use special glasses when reading or working, and could never use my eyes for more than half an hour; but from the first 21 reading of Science and Health I found that I could read in any light and for any length of time without the slight- est discomfort. I am not only grateful for the physi- 24 cal healing but for the mental regeneration. I rejoice that I am now able to help others who are sick and sor- rowing. — E. E. L., Curragh Camp, County Kildare, 27 Ireland. |

130 | 631 | S&H 18 | 0 | back healed | Show all | 27 AFTER TWENTY YEARS' SUFFERING From early girlhood I was considered an invalid, hav- ing been injured by a hard fall while playing. The pain 30 was intense for some time and for several hours I was un- 1 able to walk or stand alone. Later, a growing weakness of the back accompanied with sharp pains alarmed my 3 parents, who called a physician, and he pronounced it spinal trouble. Then followed nearly twenty years of increased suffering, at times very severe. As years went 6 by and I became a wife and mother, my suffering in- creased. Everything that medical skill could do was done, but finding no lasting benefit from anything, I lost 9 hope of recovery. When Christian Science found me I was under the doctor's sentence that if I lived the week through I would 12 become entirely helpless, not able to move hand or foot. My husband was a travelling man, and being urgently called home, he met an old friend on the train who asked 15 why we did not try Christian Science. The reply, We know nothing of it, was followed by a brief explanation of its healing power and the benefit his family had re- 18 ceived. This inspired my husband with new hope, and on his arrival at home he called on a practitioner, who recommended our getting Science and Health, which we 21 did, but ignorance and the prejudice of old education produced such fear that I hid the book under the covers of the bed whenever the children came into the room, 24 fearing that it was not of God and would injure them. God's dear love was, however, more potent than these foolish fears, and the first day I read from its sacred pages 27 I was convinced its teachings were the same truths as Jesus Christ had taught centuries ago. When I had read a few pages, I reached out and threw my medicine from the 30 open window at the head of my bed. I then turned back to the book and began reading again, when, lo, the Christ-idea dawned upon me, and I was healed instantaneously. 1 I first noticed the spot in my back cooling, and soon I got out of bed. I continued to read eagerly; I felt as 3 if I wanted to devour the healing truth, and drank it in as a thirsty plant does the gentle rain. When dinner was prepared, I walked out and ate a hearty meal with the 6 family, to the amazement of all. We shall never forget what a joyful meal this was. How we did thank God for Christian Science! 9 As year after year has gone by, till twenty years have passed and the healing has remained perfect, I have grown to thank God with deeper sincerity that one brave 12 woman was found pure enough to bring forth this Christ- healing again, to remain forever among men and to save suffering humanity from all disease and sin. — Mrs. 15 P.

During 18 this time I had three good doctors treating me. I gained a little in strength, but had very little relief from the stomach trouble. I was recommended to try mineral 21 springs and did so, but with the same disappointment. I went to a sanitarium, but yet the stomach trouble pre- vailed. I had some friends who recommended patent 24 medicines, but no healing came. I worried along in this way for several years. Finally I read medicine nearly two years with a good doctor 27 friend, especially for my own benefit, and during this time I had a severe attack of bladder trouble, and for fifteen years I suffered so severely at times that I thought 30 life was not really worth living. In connection with these 1 troubles I suffered every winter with rheumatism and the grip. I also had a growth coming on both eyes called 3 cataract, which caused my eyes to be inflamed nearly all the time, and this growth had made such progress that it was causing my vision to be very dim when read- 6 ing. Corns were not forgotten, as I was reminded of them very frequently, and for all these troubles I had tried every remedy I heard of that I was able to get, specialists 9 included, without relief. Thanks to a friend who took me in this hopeless, dis- couraged condition and led me to the light that never 12 knows darkness, I got a copy of Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy and was healed in a short time by reading this work. — D.

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. |

In May, 1902, going home for lunch, on a bicycle, and while riding down a hill at a 27 rapid gait, I was thrown from the wheel, and falling on my left side with my arm under my head, the bone was broken about half-way between the shoulder and 30 elbow. While the pain was intense, I lay still in the dust, 1 declaring the truth and denying that there could be a break or accident in the realm of divine Love, 3 until a gentleman came to assist me, saying, he thought I had been stunned. I was only two and a half blocks from home, so I mounted my wheel again 6 and managed to reach it. On arriving there I lay down and asked my little boy to bring me our text- book. He immediately brought Science and Health, 9 which I read for about ten minutes, when all pain left. I said nothing to my family of the accident, but at- tended to some duties and was about half an hour late 12 in returning to the office, this being my only loss of time from work. My friends claimed that the arm had not been broken, as it would have been impossible for me to 15 continue my work without having it set, and carrying it in a sling until the bone knit together. Their insistence almost persuaded me that I might have been mistaken, 18 until one of my friends invited me to visit a physician's office where they were experimenting with an X-ray ma- chine. The physician was asked to examine my left 21 arm to see if it differed from the ordinary. On look- ing through it, he said, "Yes, it has been broken, but whoever set it made a perfect job of it, and you will 24 never have any further trouble from that break." My friend then asked the doctor to show how he could tell where the break had been. The doctor pointed 27 out the place as being slightly thicker at that part, like a piece of steel that had been welded. This was the first of several cases of mental surgery that 30 have come under my notice, and it made a deep impression on me. 1 For the benefit of others who may have something similar to meet, I will say that I have overcome almost 3 constant attacks of sick headaches, extending back to my earliest recollection. — L.

I was very ill and unhappy; very cynical and disbeliev- 30 ing in regard to what I heard of God and religion. 1 I tried to live my life in my own way and put religion aside. I was a great believer in fate and in will-power, 3 and thought to put them in the place of God, with the consequence that I was led to do many rash and foolish things. I am now thankful to say that my out- 6 look on life is entirely changed; I have proved God's wisdom and goodness so often that I am willing and thankful to know my future is in His hands and that 9 all things must work out for the best. I have found a God whom I can love and worship with my whole heart, and I now read my Bible with interest and 12 understanding. I was healed of very bad rheumatism simply by read- ing Science and Health. I had tried many medicines, 15 also massage, with no result, and the doctors told me that I would always suffer from this disease, as it was inherited, and also because I had rheumatic fever 18 when a child. I suffered day and night, and nothing relieved me until Science proved to me the falseness of this belief by removing it. I gave up all the medi- 21 cines I was taking and have never touched any since, and that is more than two years ago. Before this I had often tried to do without a medicine that I had 24 taken every day for ten years, but was always ill and had to return to it, until I found out that one Mind is the only medicine, and then I was freed from the suffering. 27 I had also suffered constantly from bilious attacks, colds, and a weak chest, and had been warned not to be out in wet weather, etc., but now, I am glad to say, 30 I am quite free from all those material laws and go out in all sorts of weather. — R.

Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy was sent 3 to me, in answer to prayer, as I thought. I was a little afraid of all these new fads, as I thought them, but I had not read far before I felt that I had found the truth 6 which makes us free. I was healed of stomach trouble, inward weakness, and bilious attacks. One physician said I might have to undergo an opera- 9 tion before I could get well, but, thanks to this Truth, I have found that the only operation needed was the re- generation of this so-called human mind by learning to 12 know God. In many cases I have been able to help myself and others. Words cannot express my thanks to Mrs. Eddy, and 15 to all who are bringing these great truths to the help of the whole world. — E. E.

After reading a few pages, I be- came very much impressed with the truth therein stated, 3 and although I was surrounded with opposition, I knew that “underneath are the everlasting arms.” Since that time —- past the middle of the year 1899 —- I have kept 6 pressing on, until I have been healed by reading Science and Health. At times I was beset by what seemed un- conquerable opposition, until the first week in October, 9 1904, when, upon going to my home in Darien for a visit, I was given my liberty, and I’m now earning my living in this city. After having been subject to epileptic at- 12 tacks since 1892, and at one time pronounced dying by the doctor in charge, I am now well. I have had no fit, or symptoms of any, since the first week in May, 15 1904. I trust that this testimony to the healing power of Truth, realized by reading Science and Health (for I had no treat- 18 ment), may reach the eye of some to whom the battle seems long, and inspire them with fresh courage and a realization of the worth of the victory. I am filled with 21 inexpressible gratitude and love to God, and to Mrs. Eddy. —- Mrs. B. B. C., Stamford, Conn. |

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. |

During 18 this time I had three good doctors treating me. I gained a little in strength, but had very little relief from the stomach trouble. I was recommended to try mineral 21 springs and did so, but with the same disappointment. I went to a sanitarium, but yet the stomach trouble pre- vailed. I had some friends who recommended patent 24 medicines, but no healing came. I worried along in this way for several years. Finally I read medicine nearly two years with a good doctor 27 friend, especially for my own benefit, and during this time I had a severe attack of bladder trouble, and for fifteen years I suffered so severely at times that I thought 30 life was not really worth living. In connection with these 1 troubles I suffered every winter with rheumatism and the grip. I also had a growth coming on both eyes called 3 cataract, which caused my eyes to be inflamed nearly all the time, and this growth had made such progress that it was causing my vision to be very dim when read- 6 ing. Corns were not forgotten, as I was reminded of them very frequently, and for all these troubles I had tried every remedy I heard of that I was able to get, specialists 9 included, without relief. Thanks to a friend who took me in this hopeless, dis- couraged condition and led me to the light that never 12 knows darkness, I got a copy of Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy and was healed in a short time by reading this work. — D.

From infancy I had been devoted to my church, and as soon as I was old enough I was ever active in the work. Feeling it to 18 be my duty to attend every service held in my own church, I took advantage of the Wednesday evening meetings. My first visit was not my last, I am thank- 21 ful to say, for I saw immediately that these people not only preached Christianity, but practised and lived it. At that time I was wearing glasses and had worn 24 them for sixteen years. At times I suffered the most intense pain, and for this phase of the trouble, one specialist after another had been consulted. All gave 27 me very much the same advice; each one urged ex- treme carefulness and gave me glasses that seemed to relieve for a time. None of them held out any hope 30 that my sight would ever be restored, saying that the 1 defect had existed since infancy, and that in time I should be blind. 3 The thought of blindness was very distressing to me, but I tried to bear it with Christian resignation, since I thought that God had seen fit to afflict me; but since 6 I have learned that He is a loving Father, who gives only good, I regret that I ever charged Him with my affliction. I had no treatment, but I read Science and 9 Health, and my eyes were healed and glasses laid aside. I can never find words to express my thanks to our dear Leader, through whose teachings my sight has been re- 12 gained. I can truthfully say that "whereas I was blind, now I see" — through an understanding of Truth I have found my sight perfect as God gave it. — Miss 15 B. S., Wilmington, N. C. |

As I read other testimonies and rejoice in them, some one may rejoice in mine. I was healed by reading Science and 18 Health. By applying it, I found it to be the truth that Jesus taught, — the truth that sets free. From childhood I had never known a well day. I 21 was healed of lung trouble of long standing. Con- sumption was hereditary in our family, my mother and three brothers having passed on with it. The law of 24 materia medica said that in a short time I must fol- low them. I also had severe stomach trouble of over eight years' standing, during which time I always re- 27 tired without supper, as the fear of suffering from my food was so great that I denied myself food when hun- gry. For over twenty years I had ovarian trouble, 30 which was almost unbearable at times. It dated from 1 the birth of my first child, and at one time necessitated an operation. I suffered with about all the ills that 3 flesh is heir to: I had trouble with my eyes from a child; wore glasses for fourteen years, several oculists saying I would go blind, one declaring I would be blind in less 6 than a year if I did not submit to an operation, which I refused to do. But thanks be to God whose Truth reached me through 9 the study of our textbook. Words fail to express what Christian Science has done for me in various ways, for my children, my home, my all. The physical healing 12 is but a small part; the spiritual unfolding and uplifting is the "pearl of great price," the half that has never been told. — Mrs. J. P. M., Kansas City, Mo. |

Finally I was taken suddenly ill and could not leave my room for about two months, then I went away for three months, thinking that I should come back 15 and be able to continue my work. I improved very much, but the fear of quick consumption was with my doctor and my family and friends, and I was warned about the 18 coming winter. Only too soon the fear manifested itself. I had worked just three weeks when all the pains and aches returned, and I had to go to bed as soon as I 21 got home, so there was no pleasure in living. My em- ployer advised me to see my physician, and said perhaps I should not work that winter. I then and there turned 24 to Christian Science. I could not afford to give up work and live away from home, neither did I want to depend on doctors and medicine any longer. I took the book 27 and read it on my way to work, and at noon I lay down on a couch instead of going out for luncheon and fell asleep. When I awoke I was a different person, all 30 pains and aches had gone, and I was free. I was so 1 happy I could hardly contain myself; to material sense it was wonderful. As I walked I kept saying, 3 "Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful," and tried to un- derstand "the scientific statement of being" by repeat- ing portions at a time, then pondering over them. I 6 read the book four times in succession, and every time I found more and more to aid in the under- standing. 9 This healing was in October, 1901, with no other help than Science and Health, and soon I was relieved of other chronic ailments. In February I was able to 12 put away eyeglasses, which I had worn ten years and a half for astigmatism. Oculists told me I would always have to wear them. A month later my father asked 15 me to help him, as he was suffering so much from con- stipation, dyspepsia, and neuralgia. He had been sub- sisting on bran, nearly starving himself until he was most 18 miserable, and his limbs seemed so cold that they were kept wrapped in blankets. I felt very humble as he asked me, and told him I would have a practitioner help 21 him, as I had never treated any one; but he would not consent to have any one but myself, and I finally told him I would try, but that he must not hold Science respon- 24 sible if he were not benefited, for my lack of understand- ing, and not Science, would be at fault. At my request he read Science and Health, ate whatever he wanted, 27 and used no medicine in any form. After two treat- ments I received word from him that he was healed of that bondage of thirty years' standing. In view of 30 all these signs which followed my acceptance of Chris- tian Science, I knew it must be true. — R. L. A., Chicago, Ill. |

In May, 1902, going home for lunch, on a bicycle, and while riding down a hill at a 27 rapid gait, I was thrown from the wheel, and falling on my left side with my arm under my head, the bone was broken about half-way between the shoulder and 30 elbow. While the pain was intense, I lay still in the dust, 1 declaring the truth and denying that there could be a break or accident in the realm of divine Love, 3 until a gentleman came to assist me, saying, he thought I had been stunned. I was only two and a half blocks from home, so I mounted my wheel again 6 and managed to reach it. On arriving there I lay down and asked my little boy to bring me our text- book. He immediately brought Science and Health, 9 which I read for about ten minutes, when all pain left. I said nothing to my family of the accident, but at- tended to some duties and was about half an hour late 12 in returning to the office, this being my only loss of time from work. My friends claimed that the arm had not been broken, as it would have been impossible for me to 15 continue my work without having it set, and carrying it in a sling until the bone knit together. Their insistence almost persuaded me that I might have been mistaken, 18 until one of my friends invited me to visit a physician's office where they were experimenting with an X-ray ma- chine. The physician was asked to examine my left 21 arm to see if it differed from the ordinary. On look- ing through it, he said, "Yes, it has been broken, but whoever set it made a perfect job of it, and you will 24 never have any further trouble from that break." My friend then asked the doctor to show how he could tell where the break had been. The doctor pointed 27 out the place as being slightly thicker at that part, like a piece of steel that had been welded. This was the first of several cases of mental surgery that 30 have come under my notice, and it made a deep impression on me. 1 For the benefit of others who may have something similar to meet, I will say that I have overcome almost 3 constant attacks of sick headaches, extending back to my earliest recollection. — L.

I was greatly emaciated and hardly able to be about. 9 My general condition was aggravated by what the doc- tors said was paralysis of the bowels. Three physi- cians so diagnosed it at different times, and assured 12 my husband that I could never get more than tem- porary relief. This indeed I found difficult to obtain, in spite of my almost frantic efforts. At times I was 15 nearly insane from suffering, and after eight years of doctoring I found myself steadily growing worse. For four years I did not have a normal action of the bowels, 18 and it was only by extreme effort and by resort to pow- erful drugs or mechanical means, with resultant suffering, that any action whatever could be brought about. 21 I had heard nothing of the curative power of Chris- tian Science, and only to oblige a friend I went one night, about three years ago, to one of their mid-week 24 testimonial meetings, in Boulder, Colorado. I was much impressed by what I heard there, and determined at once to investigate this strange religion, in the hope that it 27 might have something good for me. I bought the text- book, Science and Health, and from the first I found myself growing stronger and better, both physically and 30 mentally, as I acquired a better understanding and en- deavored to put into practice what I learned. In one week 1 I was able to get along better without drugs than I had for years with them, and before three months had passed I 3 was better than I had been any time in my life, for I had always suffered more or less from bowel trouble. Since that time I have taken no medicine whatever, and 6 rely wholly upon Christian Science. My lungs are now sound, my bowels normally active, my general health excellent, and I am able to endure without fatigue 9 tasks that before would have prostrated me. The study of our textbook was the sole means of my healing. — L. M. St. C., Matachin, Canal Zone, Panama. |

Various doctors finally admitted that they had exhausted their resources, and 6 could only offer me palliatives, saying that a cure was impossible. I had paralysis of the bowels, frequent sick headaches with unutterable agony, and my mortal 9 career was nearly brought to an end by a malignant type of yellow fever. Many were the attending evils of this physical inharmony, but God confounds the wis- 12 dom of men, for while studying Science and Health two years ago, the veil of ignorance was lifted and perfect health was shown to me to be my real con- 15 dition, and to such there is no relapse. The constant use of glasses, which were apparently a necessity to me for years, was proven needless, and they were laid 18 aside. Mrs. Eddy has made Scripture reading a never- failing well of comfort to me. By her interpretation "the way of the Lord" is made straight to me and 21 mine. It aids us in our daily overcoming of the tyr- anny of the flesh and its rebellion against the blessed leading of Christ, Truth. The daily study of the Bible 24 and our textbook is bringing more and more into our con- sciousness the power of God unto salvation. — J. C., Manatee, Fla. |

From childhood I was always sick, never knew one hour of rest, and was 21 under the doctor's care most of the time. I was living in the East at that time, and was advised to try change of climate, which I did. I came West with my family in 24 the spring of the year, but instead of growing better I grew steadily worse, until at last I was obliged to keep my bed for nearly three years, — a great sufferer. My 27 ailments were, it seemed, all that flesh is heir to, and were called incurable by the doctors; viz., Bright's dis- ease, and many others, — in the last stages. My case was 30 known among physicians, many of whom were prominent 1 specialists, as a most extreme one. Many, upon looking at me, would turn away with a wise shake of the head 3 and say, "What keeps her alive?" My physicians, who were exceedingly kind and did all that lay within their power for me, gave me up and the death sentence was 6 pronounced on me by all who attended me. It was then I realized that "man's extremity is God's opportunity." The "little book" was handed me at this 9 hour of great need. I read it, not thinking it would heal me, but, like a drowning man, I grasped at it. I read it, read it again, and soon found myself growing stronger; 12 then I kept on reading and was perfectly healed of all the supposedly incurable diseases. — L. B., Austin, Minn. |

On De- 3 cember 6, 1902, my wife presented me with Science and Health as a birthday gift, and it was indeed the best present I ever received. Since that time I 6 have been reading it and attending Second Church here. I have not used any medicine since, nor has any one in our home. I am in the finest of health and have 9 lost all my bad habits. This truth has brought a great spiritual uplifting to all of us, and words cannot express my gratitude to Mrs. Eddy and to all who have helped 12 me to the same. — T. V., Chicago, Ill. |

I was suddenly left alone, with many troubles and trials, and I took up the study of the Bible. I 24 was trying to understand it, prior to joining some church, as it seemed to me this would be expected. I had attended all sorts of churches from my childhood 27 up, but never could find any that met my need. As time passed on, my condition became very alarming. Sciatic rheumatism, that had troubled me for some 30 years, became so severe I could scarcely do anything. 1 Then there appeared some complications, so distressing that I was unable to walk far, and had to sit down fre- 3 quently by the way. I thought I had Bright's disease, — such excruciating pains, no tongue could tell my suffer- ings. With all these things upon me, death seemed very 6 near. I had never joined any church, and I thought it now too late, as I would have to wait six months on pro- bation, and I would be dead before that. 9 About this time I made some inquiries of my sister in reference to Christian Science, as she had already turned to that faith, and I soon found that it was just what I had 12 been looking for. I saw at once that it declared the truth and nothing but the truth. I commenced reading Science and Health, also the New Testament. I wanted to find 15 out what Jesus said, as I did not expect then to live long. I did not go to the meetings, nor did I read Science and Health to be cured, — not thinking of that, — but to be 18 saved from an everlasting hell hereafter. My sister urged me to have a practitioner, but I kept on reading, and praying to God in silence, and what happened? Where 21 had the diseases gone? I persisted in reading Science and Health, together with the Bible, with the knowl- edge that God as revealed by Christ Jesus can do 24 everything, that He made everything that was made, that He can and does heal the afflicted. He has healed me, thanks to His most holy name. — G. J. H., Charles- 27 ton, Ill. |

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. |

At that time I had been a chronic 15 invalid for a good many years. I had acute bowel trouble, bronchitis, and a number of other troubles. One physician had told me that my lungs were like wet paper, 18 ready to tear at any time, and I was filled with fear, as my mother, two brothers, and a sister had been vic- tims of consumption. I tried many physicians and 21 every material remedy that promised help, but no help came until I found a copy of Mrs. Eddy's book, Sci- ence and Health. The book was placed in my hands 24 by one who did not then appreciate it, and I was told that it would be hard for me to understand it. I com- menced reading it with this thought, but I caught beau- 27 tiful glimpses of Truth, which took away my fear and healed me of all those diseases, and they have never returned. 30 I would also like to tell how I was healed of a sprained 1 ankle. The accident occurred in the morning, and all that day and during the night I gave myself Christian 3 Science treatment, as best I could. The next morning it seemed to be no better, being very sore, badly swollen, and much discolored. Feeling that I had done all I could, 6 I decided to stop thinking about it. I took my copy of Science and Health and began reading. Very soon I became so absorbed in the book that I forgot all about 9 my ankle; it went entirely out of my thought, for I had a glimpse of all God's creation as spiritual, and for the time being lost sight of my material selfhood. After two 12 hours I laid the book down and walked into another room. When next I thought of my ankle, I found it was not hurt- ing me. The swelling had gone down, the black and blue 15 appearance had nearly vanished, and it was perfectly well. It was healed while I was "absent from the body" and "present with the Lord." This experience was worth 18 a great deal to me, for it showed me how the healing is done. — C. H., Portland, Ore. |

About six and a half 18 years ago, however, having exhausted all material means at my command, — materia medica, electricity, gym- nastics, cycling, and so on, — and being in a hopeless 21 state, the study of Christian Science was taken up. I had been a sufferer from catarrh and sore throat for over thirty years, and in the last five were added several others, 24 including dyspepsia, and bronchitis, and a loss in flesh of sixty pounds. I was completely healed, and regained health, strength, and flesh through the spiritual under- 27 standing of Christian Science, the result of about six weeks' study. This good and perfect gift came to me through the careful and prayerful study of Christian 30 Science, as revealed to the world to-day through Science 1 and Health. The promise of Christ Jesus, "the truth shall make you free," was fulfilled, and the past six years 3 of health and harmony have been spent in striving to "hold fast that which is good." While most grateful for the physical healing, my grati- 6 tude for the mental and spiritual regeneration is beyond expression. When I learned that Jesus' mission of heal- ing sickness as well as sin did not end with his short stay 9 upon earth, but is practical in all ages, my joy was un- bounded. Having spent thousands in the old way, it seemed wonderful to be healed at such small cost as the 12 price of the "little book" and a few weeks' study. Every thought of prejudice immediately vanished before the proofs that Christian Science is indeed the elucidation 15 and practical application of Jesus' teachings, which are demonstrable truth, "The same yesterday, and to-day, and forever." — C.

Sometimes the pain was so severe that it seemed as if I could not 30 endure it. These spells would last four or five hours, 1 and while everything was done for me that could be done, no permanent relief came to me until I com- 3 menced reading Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures. After I had once looked into it I wanted to read all the time. I was so absorbed in the study of 6 the "little book" that I hardly realized when the healing came, but I was healed, not only of the rupture, but also of other troubles, — inflammatory rheumatism, catarrh, 9 corns, and bunions.

Reared from childhood in an intellectual atmosphere, my paternal grandfather having been an orthodox minister of the old school for forty years, 27 and my father a deep student, ever seeking for the truth of all things, I began early to ponder and to study into the meaning of life, and came to the con- 30 clusion before I was twenty that though God probably 1 existed in some remote place, still it was impossible to connect Him with my present living. My highest 3 creed, therefore, became, "Do right because it is right and not for fear of being punished." Then began the suffering. Sorrow after sorrow followed each other 6 in rapid succession; for ten long years there was no rest, the road was indeed long and hard and had no turning, until finally the one thing that had stood by 9 me all through the trials, namely, my health, gave way, and with that went my last hope. But the last hour of the night had come, the dawn of day was at 12 hand; a dear friend left Science and Health upon my piano one day, saying that I would gain much good by reading it. 15 Glad to get away from my own poor thoughts, I opened the "little book" and began to read. I had read only a short time when such a wonderful trans- 18 formation took place! I was renewed; born again. Mere words cannot tell the story of the mighty up- lifting that carried me to the very gates of heaven. 21 When I began to read the book, life was a burden, but before I had finished reading it the first time, I was doing all my housework and doing it easily; and since that 24 glorious day I have been a well woman. My health is splendid, and I am striving to let my light so shine that others may be led to the truth. There have been 27 some mighty struggles with error, and I have learned that we cannot reach heaven with one long stride or easily drift inside the gate, but that the "asking" and 30 the "seeking" and the "knocking" must be earnest and persistent. For a long time I was always looking back to see if 1 the error had gone, until one day when I realized that to catch a glimpse of what spiritual sense means 3 I must put corporeal sense behind me. I then set to work in earnest to find the true way. I opened Science and Health and these words were before me, 6 "If God were understood, instead of being merely be- lieved, this understanding would establish health" (p. 203). I saw that I must get the right understanding of God! 9 I closed the book and with head bowed in prayer I waited with longing intensity for some answer. How long I waited I do not know, but suddenly, like a won- 12 derful burst of sunlight after a storm, came clearly this thought, "Be still, and know that I am God." I held my breath — deep into my hungering thought 15 sank the infinite meaning of that "I." All self- conceit, egotism, selfishness, everything that constitutes the mortal "I," sank abashed out of sight. I trod, as 18 it were, on holy ground. Words are inadequate to con- vey the fulness of that spiritual uplifting, but others who have had similar experiences will understand. 21 From that hour I have had an intelligent consciousness of the ever-presence of an infinite God who is only good. — C.

For these I had been treated by some of the best specialists in my native land, and after coming to the United States I had been doctored 6 much and had worn glasses for four years. I also had catarrh, for which I had taken much medicine without being relieved. In addition to this I was an excessive 9 smoker, using tobacco in some form almost constantly. I had contracted a smoker's heart, and used liquors freely. 12 The one who brought to me that which I now prize so highly, was a book agent. I told him that I should be forced to leave my trade on account of my eyes. 15 He then told me of having been healed of a cancer, through Christian Science treatment. He showed me a copy of Science and Health, which had the signs of 18 much use, and after being assured that if I did my part I would be healed of all my diseases, I sent for a copy of the book. 21 My recovery was very rapid, for after reading the book only three weeks I was completely healed of the tobacco habit. I will say, in regard to this healing, 24 that it did not require even as much as a resolution on my part. I was smoking a cigar, while reading Science and Health, when all the desire to continue 27 smoking left me, and I have never had a desire to use tobacco in any form since then. My eyes were the next to manifest the influence of the new knowledge 30 gained, and had soon so far recovered that I could go about my work with ease, and I have had no more use for glasses. To-day my heart is normal, the catarrh 1 has totally disappeared, and I am not addicted to the use of liquor. 3 Christian Science has proved to be an ever-present help, not only in overcoming physical ailments, but in business and daily life. It has also overcome a great 6 sense of fear. The Bible, which I regarded with suspicion, has become my guide, and Christianity has become a sweet reality, because the Christian Science 9 textbook has indeed been a "Key to the Scriptures" and has breathed through the Gospel pages a sweet sense of harmony. — A.

I was treated by the best of 1 physicians in New York, Minneapolis, and Duluth, and was finally given up as incurable, when I heard of Chris- 3 tian Science. A neighbor who had been healed of con- sumption, kindly loaned me Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy, which I read and became interested in. In three 6 months' time, I was healed, the truth conveyed to me by this book being the healer, and not only of these diseases, but I was made whole mentally as well. I have not been 9 in bed one day since, or rather in eleven years. I have had many good demonstrations during this time, have passed through many a "fiery trial," but this blessed truth 12 has caused me to stand, at times seemingly alone, and God was with me. I will mention a demonstration of painless childbirth 15 which I have had since coming to Idaho. Perhaps it may help some sister who is looking through the Journal for a demonstration of this kind, as I was before my baby 18 came. Good help being scarce here, I did my housework up to the time I was confined, and was in perfect health. I awoke my husband one morning at five o'clock, and at 21 half past five baby was born, no one being present but my husband and myself. It was quite a surprise to the rest of the family to see me sitting by the fire with a new 24 baby on my lap. My son got the breakfast, of which I ate heartily; at noon I joined the family in the dining- room. I was out on the porch the second day, around 27 the yard the third day, and have been perfectly well ever since, which has been now over three years. To one who had previously passed through agony untold, 30 with a physician in attendance, this seemed wonderful. I hope this will interest some one who is seeking the truth, and I wish to express my sincere love for our beloved 1 Leader, who has given us the "Key to the Scriptures." — E. C.

I was healed through simply reading this wonderful book, Science and Health. I had been troubled periodically 12 for many years with sore eyes, and had been to many doctors, who called the disease iritis and cataract. They told me that my eyes would always give me trouble, and 15 that I would eventually lose my sight if I remained in an office, and advised me to go under an operation. Later on I had to wear glasses at my work, also out of doors 18 as I could not bear the winds, and my eyes were gradually becoming worse. I could not read for longer than a few minutes at a time, otherwise they would smart severely. 21 I had to rest my eyes each evening to enable me to use them the next day; in fact gas-light was getting unbearable because of the pain, and I made home miserable. A 24 dear brother told me about Christian Science, and said that if I would read Science and Health it would help me. He procured for me the loan of the book. The 27 first night I read it, it so interested me I quite forgot all about my eyes until my wife remarked that it was eleven o'clock. I found that I had been reading this 30 book for nearly four hours, and I remarked immediately after, "I believe my eyes are cured," which was really 1 the case. The next day, on looking at my eyes, my wife noticed that the cataract had disappeared. I put away 3 my outdoor glasses, which I have not required since, and through the understanding gained by studying Christian Science I have been able to do away with my indoor 6 glasses also, and have had no return of pain in my eyes since. This is now a year and a half ago. — G. F. S., Liverpool, England. |

During 18 this time I had three good doctors treating me. I gained a little in strength, but had very little relief from the stomach trouble. I was recommended to try mineral 21 springs and did so, but with the same disappointment. I went to a sanitarium, but yet the stomach trouble pre- vailed. I had some friends who recommended patent 24 medicines, but no healing came. I worried along in this way for several years. Finally I read medicine nearly two years with a good doctor 27 friend, especially for my own benefit, and during this time I had a severe attack of bladder trouble, and for fifteen years I suffered so severely at times that I thought 30 life was not really worth living. In connection with these 1 troubles I suffered every winter with rheumatism and the grip. I also had a growth coming on both eyes called 3 cataract, which caused my eyes to be inflamed nearly all the time, and this growth had made such progress that it was causing my vision to be very dim when read- 6 ing. Corns were not forgotten, as I was reminded of them very frequently, and for all these troubles I had tried every remedy I heard of that I was able to get, specialists 9 included, without relief. Thanks to a friend who took me in this hopeless, dis- couraged condition and led me to the light that never 12 knows darkness, I got a copy of Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy and was healed in a short time by reading this work. — D. W. L., Anderson, Ind. |

In my own case deafness has been overcome by 21 an enlarged understanding of God's word, as explained by Mrs. Eddy in Science and Health. Many times I have been enabled to turn to God, to know it was His 24 will to help in trouble, and obtained the needed benefit. Catarrh has disappeared; tonsilitis, which very frequently laid me aside from duties in the schoolroom and home, 27 is no longer manifest. When temptation comes (for Christian Science is both preventive and curative), I turn to that wonderful book, Science and Health, and my 30 precious Bible, grown dearer since read in the new light 1 of spiritual understanding, until I know that my mind is renewed, because the action is changed and the inflam- 3 mation has abated. Thus in my experience in Christian Science, I have seen the transformation begun, and Truth is able to perfect 6 that which is begun in me so gloriously. — Mrs. C. A. McL., Brooklyn, Nova Scotia. |

238 | 634 | S&H 18 | 0 | catarrh healed | Show all | TRUTH MAKES FREE 15 As the son of a physician, a graduate in pharmacy, and an ex-druggist, I had a perfect contempt for what I thought Christian Science to be. About six and a half 18 years ago, however, having exhausted all material means at my command, — materia medica, electricity, gym- nastics, cycling, and so on, — and being in a hopeless 21 state, the study of Christian Science was taken up. I had been a sufferer from catarrh and sore throat for over thirty years, and in the last five were added several others, 24 including dyspepsia, and bronchitis, and a loss in flesh of sixty pounds. I was completely healed, and regained health, strength, and flesh through the spiritual under- 27 standing of Christian Science, the result of about six weeks' study. This good and perfect gift came to me through the careful and prayerful study of Christian 30 Science, as revealed to the world to-day through Science 1 and Health. The promise of Christ Jesus, "the truth shall make you free," was fulfilled, and the past six years 3 of health and harmony have been spent in striving to "hold fast that which is good." While most grateful for the physical healing, my grati- 6 tude for the mental and spiritual regeneration is beyond expression. When I learned that Jesus' mission of heal- ing sickness as well as sin did not end with his short stay 9 upon earth, but is practical in all ages, my joy was un- bounded. Having spent thousands in the old way, it seemed wonderful to be healed at such small cost as the 12 price of the "little book" and a few weeks' study. Every thought of prejudice immediately vanished before the proofs that Christian Science is indeed the elucidation 15 and practical application of Jesus' teachings, which are demonstrable truth, "The same yesterday, and to-day, and forever." — C.

Sometimes the pain was so severe that it seemed as if I could not 30 endure it. These spells would last four or five hours, 1 and while everything was done for me that could be done, no permanent relief came to me until I com- 3 menced reading Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures. After I had once looked into it I wanted to read all the time. I was so absorbed in the study of 6 the "little book" that I hardly realized when the healing came, but I was healed, not only of the rupture, but also of other troubles, — inflammatory rheumatism, catarrh, 9 corns, and bunions. I would never part with the book if I could not get another. I am seventy-seven years old, and am enjoy- 12 ing very good health. — Mrs. M. E. P., St. Johnsbury, Vt. |

240 | 655 | S&H 18 | 0 | catarrh healed | Show all | 27 AN EVER-PRESENT HELP It is a year since I began to read Science and Health, and I will now try to outline what a knowledge of its 30 teachings has done for me. 1 My condition was then very trying; my eyes, which had caused me much trouble since childhood, were 3 very painful. For these I had been treated by some of the best specialists in my native land, and after coming to the United States I had been doctored 6 much and had worn glasses for four years. I also had catarrh, for which I had taken much medicine without being relieved. In addition to this I was an excessive 9 smoker, using tobacco in some form almost constantly. I had contracted a smoker's heart, and used liquors freely. 12 The one who brought to me that which I now prize so highly, was a book agent. I told him that I should be forced to leave my trade on account of my eyes. 15 He then told me of having been healed of a cancer, through Christian Science treatment. He showed me a copy of Science and Health, which had the signs of 18 much use, and after being assured that if I did my part I would be healed of all my diseases, I sent for a copy of the book. 21 My recovery was very rapid, for after reading the book only three weeks I was completely healed of the tobacco habit. I will say, in regard to this healing, 24 that it did not require even as much as a resolution on my part. I was smoking a cigar, while reading Science and Health, when all the desire to continue 27 smoking left me, and I have never had a desire to use tobacco in any form since then. My eyes were the next to manifest the influence of the new knowledge 30 gained, and had soon so far recovered that I could go about my work with ease, and I have had no more use for glasses. To-day my heart is normal, the catarrh 1 has totally disappeared, and I am not addicted to the use of liquor. 3 Christian Science has proved to be an ever-present help, not only in overcoming physical ailments, but in business and daily life. It has also overcome a great 6 sense of fear. The Bible, which I regarded with suspicion, has become my guide, and Christianity has become a sweet reality, because the Christian Science 9 textbook has indeed been a "Key to the Scriptures" and has breathed through the Gospel pages a sweet sense of harmony. — A. F., Sioux City, Iowa. |

I was reared by 24 kind and loving Christian parents and was a member of an orthodox church for over twenty years, but I was never satisfied. I was filled with fear and bound down 27 by the false gods of this world, — sin, disease, and pov- erty; consequently every way I turned, and in everything I attempted to do, I was met with disappointment and 30 failure; but God was leading me into a different life. 1 My interest was first awakened to Christian Science about thirteen years ago, and I have been a willing dis- 3 ciple ever since. Through the reading of Science and Health I was healed of chronic catarrh and laryngitis, and it also enabled me to lay off my glasses. Christian 6 Science has not only helped me mentally, morally, and physically, but the greatest blessing of all is the spirit- ual uplifting which enabled me to know that God is both 9 able and willing to care for His children, if we are but willing to do our part and bear the cross which, though it seems heavy at times, always brings a sure reward. 12 Christian Science has not only helped me, but it has enabled me to help others. The Bible is a new book to me. I now see what 15 Jesus meant when he said, "Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest." My heart goes out in gratitude to Mrs. Eddy for the 18 work she has done and is still doing for the world, and to God I am most grateful that He has guided me into the truth, that I may have life, and have it more abundantly. 21 — Mrs. M.

242 | 635 | S&H 18 | 0 | catarrh of head healed | Show all | 18 DEAF EARS UNSTOPPED As a mother of a family my heart goes out in love and gratitude to that good woman we are privileged to call 21 our Leader, for all she has done through her book for me and mine. Ten years ago I was healed of hereditary deafness and 24 catarrh of the head, simply through reading the book, Science and Health. For years previous I had consulted and taken treatment from some of the best specialists 27 for the ear and throat, both in England and America, but grew worse all the time. I was then urged by a lady who had been healed through Christian Science to buy 30 this book and study it. I did so very reluctantly, but 1 had not read fifty pages before I felt I had indeed found the truth which makes free, and can truly say, from that 3 time I have never had a return of the ailment. That for which I am, however, most grateful, is the daily help it is to me in my household of young chil- 6 dren. I am sure if mothers only knew what Christian Science truly means they would give all they possess to know it. We have seen croup, measles, fever, and 9 various other children's complaints, so-called, disappear like dew before the morning sun, through the applica- tion of Christian Science, — the understanding of God 12 as ever-present and omnipotent. It has been proven to me without a doubt that God is a very present help in trouble, and what a blessed help this wonderful truth is 15 in the training of our children, and how quickly the child grasps it. Some time ago my little girl, then three years old, 18 dislocated her shoulder. I was alone in the house at the time. The pain was so intense that she became faint. I treated her the best I knew how, but kept 21 holding the thought that just as soon as some one came I would run for help. She seemed to grow worse and cried very much. I undressed her and tried to twist 24 the arm into place, but it caused such suffering that I began to get afraid. Then like a flash came the thought, What would you do if you were out of the reach of a prac- 27 titioner? Now is your time to prove God's power and presence. With these thoughts came such a sense of calm and trustfulness that I lost all fear. I then asked 30 the child if I should read to her; she said "Yes, mamma, read the truth-book." I began reading aloud to her from Science and Health. In about half an hour I noticed 1 she tried to lift the arm but screamed and became very pale. I continued to read aloud and again she made 3 an effort to put some candy into her mouth. This time I noticed with joy that she almost reached her mouth before she felt the pain. I kept reading aloud to her 6 until my sister and two boys came in, when she jumped off her bed, so delighted to see her brothers that she for- got her arm. She then began to tell her aunt that she 9 had broken her arm and mamma treated it with the truth- book. When this happened, it was about 10.30 A.M. and by 3 P.M. she was playing out doors as though 12 nothing had ever happened. — Mrs. M. G., Winnipeg, Man. |

Man is the reflection of God as Life, unchangeable and immortal. There is no matter, all is Spirit and the manifestation of Spirit. There are no material organs, each organ is a reflection of God, working perfectly, working divinely. There are n6 material laws of nature, for man's nature is wholly spiritual; no law that man must pass through a crisis, the one law is the law of God, man is governed by God and by God alone, whose Jaw means absolute peace, absolute harmony. There is no arrest of function, each idea of God is furnished with its individual function, which it exercises unceasingly and eternally, reflecting God continually. There is no disturbance, man lives and moves and has his being in God, the Principle of peace and calm; man is the consciousness of God, he is the very peace and the very calm of the eternal God. There is no power in one organ to upset the functions of other organs, God is the only power, and His control is the control of Love, producing perfect peace, perfect harmony and perfect vitality. Every idea of God works in com- plete harmony with every other idea, its activity is shown in perfect service, for it is the activity of Love. There is no change of life, Life is "lIMbmtg6abk and eltr1ll1l" (S. & H. p. 120). There is no profound change in man's being, "All beillg is 61"1IIl/, spiritllal, perfect, harmollious ill eveI')' actioll" (S. & H. p. 407). Man is the eternal, spiritual perfection of harmonious being. There is no disturbance of nutrition; ever-operative, divine Principle maintains the continuity of being and the eternal, scienti- fic order. Man is Principle's activity of continuity and eternal order. There is no alteration of gland secretion, the standard of God's activity is unatterably constant, made manifest by means of man. There is no harmful process, the only process is the perfect unfoldment of the perennial truth of Being. Man recognises the perennial truth of Being in the unfoldment of the perfect process. There is no over-action or under-action, the only action is the action of God, which is eternally taking place, blessing man. (Work against any symptoms and against fear). |

I was very ill and unhappy; very cynical and disbeliev- 30 ing in regard to what I heard of God and religion. 1 I tried to live my life in my own way and put religion aside. I was a great believer in fate and in will-power, 3 and thought to put them in the place of God, with the consequence that I was led to do many rash and foolish things. I am now thankful to say that my out- 6 look on life is entirely changed; I have proved God's wisdom and goodness so often that I am willing and thankful to know my future is in His hands and that 9 all things must work out for the best. I have found a God whom I can love and worship with my whole heart, and I now read my Bible with interest and 12 understanding. I was healed of very bad rheumatism simply by read- ing Science and Health. I had tried many medicines, 15 also massage, with no result, and the doctors told me that I would always suffer from this disease, as it was inherited, and also because I had rheumatic fever 18 when a child. I suffered day and night, and nothing relieved me until Science proved to me the falseness of this belief by removing it. I gave up all the medi- 21 cines I was taking and have never touched any since, and that is more than two years ago. Before this I had often tried to do without a medicine that I had 24 taken every day for ten years, but was always ill and had to return to it, until I found out that one Mind is the only medicine, and then I was freed from the suffering. 27 I had also suffered constantly from bilious attacks, colds, and a weak chest, and had been warned not to be out in wet weather, etc., but now, I am glad to say, 30 I am quite free from all those material laws and go out in all sorts of weather. — R.

I was treated by the best of 1 physicians in New York, Minneapolis, and Duluth, and was finally given up as incurable, when I heard of Chris- 3 tian Science. A neighbor who had been healed of con- sumption, kindly loaned me Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy, which I read and became interested in. In three 6 months' time, I was healed, the truth conveyed to me by this book being the healer, and not only of these diseases, but I was made whole mentally as well. I have not been 9 in bed one day since, or rather in eleven years. I have had many good demonstrations during this time, have passed through many a "fiery trial," but this blessed truth 12 has caused me to stand, at times seemingly alone, and God was with me. I will mention a demonstration of painless childbirth 15 which I have had since coming to Idaho. Perhaps it may help some sister who is looking through the Journal for a demonstration of this kind, as I was before my baby 18 came. Good help being scarce here, I did my housework up to the time I was confined, and was in perfect health. I awoke my husband one morning at five o'clock, and at 21 half past five baby was born, no one being present but my husband and myself. It was quite a surprise to the rest of the family to see me sitting by the fire with a new 24 baby on my lap. My son got the breakfast, of which I ate heartily; at noon I joined the family in the dining- room. I was out on the porch the second day, around 27 the yard the third day, and have been perfectly well ever since, which has been now over three years. To one who had previously passed through agony untold, 30 with a physician in attendance, this seemed wonderful. I hope this will interest some one who is seeking the truth, and I wish to express my sincere love for our beloved 1 Leader, who has given us the "Key to the Scriptures." — E. C.

I had never been a strong girl; had always been subject to colds and chills, and suffered all my 21 life from a delicate throat. Seven years ago I had a very severe attack of rheumatic fever and subsequently two less severe ones. These left all sorts of evils be- 24 hind them, — debility, chronic constipation, and several others, so that with these ills my life was often a burden to me and I used to think I never should re- 27 ceive relief or health. I had also lost all love for God and faith in Him. I could not accept a God who, as I then believed, visited sickness and sorrow upon 30 His children as a means for drawing them to Him. 1 I was in this state of mind and body when Christian Science found me. A dear friend, seeing my suffering, 3 presented the truth to me, and though at first I did not believe that there could be healing for me, the Chris- tian Scientists' God seemed to be the one I had been 6 looking for all my life. I began to read Science and Health, and shall never forget my joy at finding that I could love and trust God. I took to studying the 9 Bible, and read nothing but Science and Health and other Christian Science literature for a year. After studying the "little book" for about six weeks, I one 12 day realized that I was a well woman, that I had taken no medicine for three weeks, and that my body was perfectly harmonious. The reading of Science and 15 Health had healed me. The wonderful joy and spirit- ual uplifting which came to me then no words of mine can describe. I had also suffered from astigmatism 18 and had for several years been obliged to use special glasses when reading or working, and could never use my eyes for more than half an hour; but from the first 21 reading of Science and Health I found that I could read in any light and for any length of time without the slight- est discomfort. I am not only grateful for the physi- 24 cal healing but for the mental regeneration. I rejoice that I am now able to help others who are sick and sor- rowing. — E. E.

286 | 679 | S&H 18 | 0 | cigarette habit of 18 years healed | Show all | I should like to express my gratitude for the many benefits I have received through Christian Science, and to mention the great joy brought to me in the thought that man is not the helpless victim of sin, disease, and death. Through its teachings I have been able to overcome many errors. When Christian Science found me, one year ago last April, in Chicago, I was suffering from catarrh of the stomach, which had been very persistent, and I had been a slave to the cigarette habit for eighteen years. Pain and weakness had robbed me of all that one holds dear. The first symptoms of the disease appeared about five years ago in the form of severe cramps of the stomach, which finally developed into other symptoms of that painful disease. I doctored continually, my diet daily becoming more rigid, until three slices of toast became my daily allowance of food. In this condition I left the East for my home in Chicago, hoping that a change of climate might benefit me. After spending six weeks there and finding no relief, I concluded to return East. The Sunday morning before leaving I picked up a Sunday paper, and glancing through the religious items my eyes fell on the notices of Christian Science church services. Curiosity led me to a service and I shall never forget that morning or the surprise and joy it gave me to find that beautiful church, and to know that so great a number actually believed that God does heal the sick today. This brought a first ray of hope. The evening service found me there again. Among the notices read was that of a reading room, giving the location and time of opening. Monday morning found me there promptly, and the first book I picked up was Science and Health which opened a new world to me. I had dieted so long and suffered so much that I had a morbid fear of food. When I had reached and read of "neither food nor the stomach, without the consent of mortal mind, can make one suffer" (Science and Health, p. 221), I left the reading room for something to eat. I found a bakery near by, and bought a bag of cakes which I ate, and shortly after I had a hearty dinner without the least complaint from my stomach. From that time until now I have eaten anything that I wished, and the craving for cigarettes, which I had for many years, has entirely vanished. The understanding of Truth, which entirely relieved the diseased stomach, healed also the morbid appetite for smoking. After coming back East, I bought a copy of Science and Health, which I have read daily, and find it a continual help in all the affairs of life. In my home and at work I find this Science a comfort and source of strength. I have had many difficulties in the way, but it has helped me out of them all. - W. E. B., New Britain, Conn. |

(It is mental malpractice to think that people you are trying to help are not ready for the truth or are antagonistic. This is one of the worst forms of sin, as it is holding back your fellow man, keeping him in bondage.) God’s man is perfect and knows and loves Truth, because he is the knowledge of God, God’s consciousness, and therefore must know Truth and love Truth and the manifestation of Truth. (Reverse all wrong thoughts thoroughly and lose yourself in conscious communion with God, realising the absolute perfection of the real world that is in Mind, and the perfection of the movement of the ideas in Mind, alias man.

So aggravated were the conditions that for three years or more I was unable to drink a glass of cold 6 water. Everything that I drank had to be hot, and my only means of relief from the bowel trouble was hot water injections, for a period of more than three years. 9 I can truthfully say that I was permanently, and I might say instantly, healed of those two ailments by reading Science and Health as before stated, and in fact I do not 12 think I had read more than thirty pages of this book when I ignored entirely the most rigid kind of diet. I ate and drank everything I wished without a single harmful effect 15 from that time to this date, and there has not been a drop of medicine in our home for more than six years, in a fam- ily of five. 18 I have also seen the power of Truth manifested in our home by having our youngest child relieved of the most excruciating pain, and changed to his most playful mood, 21 immediately upon notifying one of the faithful practi- tioners of this city. For all this I am endeavoring to be thankful to God and to our faithful Leader, Mrs. Eddy, 24 whose pure and undefiled life enabled her to discover this precious truth for the benefit of all mankind. — M.

306 | 691 | S&H 18 | 0 | colds for 6 years healed | Show all | A HELPFUL TESTIMONY 18 Words cannot express my gratitude to God for Christian Science. When I first read Science and Health, I had tried every remedy I had ever heard of. 21 I felt no change in mind or body that I was conscious of until I read page 16 of the chapter on "Prayer," in Science and Health. The first words of the "spiritual 24 sense of the Lord's Prayer," telling of our Father- Mother God, gave me a glimpse of heavenly light. I stopped and reasoned, and remembered the teachings 27 of Jesus. The truth of man's spiritual being dawned on my consciousness. I realized I was not subject to mortal laws, as I had been taught all my life. I could 30 not explain how I knew this, but I knew it. Through Christian Science, Mrs. Eddy had given me what 1 I had longed for all my life, — a Mother, a perfect "Father-Mother God." I had known there was a 3 great lack, and at that time I believe the orthodox world had but half of the truth which Jesus came to establish. When I read, "Give us this day our daily 6 bread," and its spiritual interpretation, my tears began to flow; all the years of bitterness, hate, and fear melted away. I knew then, as I know now, that nothing satisfies 9 but Love. That day began the outward and inward conscious healing, — mental and physical. There never came a doubt! I absolutely knew that Christian Science 12 was and is the truth. Money, friends, materiality, are nothing beside the conscious knowledge of God, man, and the universe. 15 I did not need treatment from any one, — Science and Health was so clear and beautiful. I could not understand the Bible before, but I found it illumined 18 now that I had a little understanding of Christian Science. For ten years I have not had to lie down in the daytime from any sickness. I am now, and have 21 been all these years, the picture of perfect health. When I first read Science and Health I weighed one hundred and four pounds; I now weigh over one hun- 24 dred and sixty. This physical health is not to be com- pared to my happiness, — my harmony that nothing can take away, — because it is the gift of God. Nothing 27 has shown me the perversity of the human mind more than in its conclusions in regard to my healing. Even when I felt and knew that I was healed, people con- 30 stantly said, because I was thin and delicate looking, "You are not well, any one could look at you and know it." Now that I am fleshy, they say, "You don't look 1 as if you ever had a pain in all your life. You could not have had consumption." 3 When I think what my life was before I had Christian Science, of the six years of colds, suffering, and cough- ing, not to mention the unhappiness, I want to "work, 6 watch, and pray" for the Mind of Christ, that I may work rightly in God's vineyard, and to know that in truth, what belongs to one belongs to all, — that one God, one Life, 9 Truth, and Love is all. — A.

I was very ill and unhappy; very cynical and disbeliev- 30 ing in regard to what I heard of God and religion. 1 I tried to live my life in my own way and put religion aside. I was a great believer in fate and in will-power, 3 and thought to put them in the place of God, with the consequence that I was led to do many rash and foolish things. I am now thankful to say that my out- 6 look on life is entirely changed; I have proved God's wisdom and goodness so often that I am willing and thankful to know my future is in His hands and that 9 all things must work out for the best. I have found a God whom I can love and worship with my whole heart, and I now read my Bible with interest and 12 understanding. I was healed of very bad rheumatism simply by read- ing Science and Health. I had tried many medicines, 15 also massage, with no result, and the doctors told me that I would always suffer from this disease, as it was inherited, and also because I had rheumatic fever 18 when a child. I suffered day and night, and nothing relieved me until Science proved to me the falseness of this belief by removing it. I gave up all the medi- 21 cines I was taking and have never touched any since, and that is more than two years ago. Before this I had often tried to do without a medicine that I had 24 taken every day for ten years, but was always ill and had to return to it, until I found out that one Mind is the only medicine, and then I was freed from the suffering. 27 I had also suffered constantly from bilious attacks, colds, and a weak chest, and had been warned not to be out in wet weather, etc., but now, I am glad to say, 30 I am quite free from all those material laws and go out in all sorts of weather. — R.

It is wonderful how the "little ones" are cared for in the face of all these seeming difficulties. I always used the prayers that I had been taught, and as I grew older I began to ask for wisdom. Little by little I gained a desire for freedom, and my prayers finally led me to the truth. The first week that I heard of Christian Science, I visited the home of dear Christian Science friends, and was at once refreshed by their purity of thought and example. I bought a copy of Science and Health, and, after studying it a little while with the Bible, I saw that if the Bible was true, Science and Health must also be true. I began to demonstrate over my physical and mental condition, and as soon as the fear and pain began to leave me I felt encouraged to go on. I was healed, and stopped complaining. I kept on studying our textbook, and when I got an understanding in a small degree of the Science of Mind, my first thought was to help others. I was guided where I could progress in Science, and was no longer "carried about with every wind of doctrine," but held to Principle as closely as possible. From the time the healing came into my consciousness, the desire for material remedies left me, because Christian Science at once pointed out the way to get at the cause of discord and disease. All that I had to give up were the false beliefs of mortal mind. Christian Science then taught me to love the church, and to appreciate what it had already done for mankind. I often thought of the old adage, "Charity begins at home," and after three years' preparation I felt able to take Christian Science to my home, where it found, in due time, ready acceptance and willing disciples. This gave me even greater joy than my own healing. The more good I saw accomplished, the more love I had for the truth. Christian Science changed my course from the first, and gave me a nobler aim and purpose in life. I was not so easily influenced by other people's shortcomings, when I learned that evil has neither personality nor place. I was not so ready to take offence, when I found out the way to work unselfishly for the upbuilding of the Cause. - A. E. J., Toledo, Ohio. |

Concentration is the term used, when, for instance, one of the Indian miracle workers concentrates on the thing he wants, say a mango tree, and thinks with all his power that there is Ii mango tree there; then it appears. Sometimes it is due to hypnotic . effect, sometimes it is actually materialised. What people mean by want of concentration, is that they allow their thoughts to wander when they are trying to think only of the world of reality. What they need, then, is not concentration, but that a perfect sequence of ideas should come to them. The treatment therefore is as follows:- There is no lack of concentration, divine Principle is the Mind of man, and the unbroken continuity of His unfolding ideas gives man spiritual power and peace. lIIan never concentrates on anyone idea, God's ideas unfold to man in perfect sequence and arc re-presented in perfect sequence, for God is the Principle of all law and all order. |

Where would I be now, had not this blessed truth been 30 brought to me by much persuasion of a very dear friend? 1 I certainly should have been deep in the slough of despond, if not in the grave. Am I truly thankful for all the good 3 that has come to me and mine? I try to let my works testify of that; but to those whom I do not meet in person, I can truly say, Yes; I am indeed more thankful than 6 words can express for the glorious healing that has come to me, both physical, mental, and moral, and I also con- vey herein, my song of gratitude to the dear Leader who 9 has through her fidelity to Truth enabled me to touch at least the hem of Christ's garment. — B.

339 | 686 | S&H 18 | 0 | constipation for 30 years healed | Show all | HEALED PHYSICALLY AND SPIRITUALLY I had been taking medicine continually for many 12 years. Finally I was taken suddenly ill and could not leave my room for about two months, then I went away for three months, thinking that I should come back 15 and be able to continue my work. I improved very much, but the fear of quick consumption was with my doctor and my family and friends, and I was warned about the 18 coming winter. Only too soon the fear manifested itself. I had worked just three weeks when all the pains and aches returned, and I had to go to bed as soon as I 21 got home, so there was no pleasure in living. My em- ployer advised me to see my physician, and said perhaps I should not work that winter. I then and there turned 24 to Christian Science. I could not afford to give up work and live away from home, neither did I want to depend on doctors and medicine any longer. I took the book 27 and read it on my way to work, and at noon I lay down on a couch instead of going out for luncheon and fell asleep. When I awoke I was a different person, all 30 pains and aches had gone, and I was free. I was so 1 happy I could hardly contain myself; to material sense it was wonderful. As I walked I kept saying, 3 "Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful," and tried to un- derstand "the scientific statement of being" by repeat- ing portions at a time, then pondering over them. I 6 read the book four times in succession, and every time I found more and more to aid in the under- standing. 9 This healing was in October, 1901, with no other help than Science and Health, and soon I was relieved of other chronic ailments. In February I was able to 12 put away eyeglasses, which I had worn ten years and a half for astigmatism. Oculists told me I would always have to wear them. A month later my father asked 15 me to help him, as he was suffering so much from con- stipation, dyspepsia, and neuralgia. He had been sub- sisting on bran, nearly starving himself until he was most 18 miserable, and his limbs seemed so cold that they were kept wrapped in blankets. I felt very humble as he asked me, and told him I would have a practitioner help 21 him, as I had never treated any one; but he would not consent to have any one but myself, and I finally told him I would try, but that he must not hold Science respon- 24 sible if he were not benefited, for my lack of understand- ing, and not Science, would be at fault. At my request he read Science and Health, ate whatever he wanted, 27 and used no medicine in any form. After two treat- ments I received word from him that he was healed of that bondage of thirty years' standing. In view of 30 all these signs which followed my acceptance of Chris- tian Science, I knew it must be true. — R. L. A., Chicago, Ill. |

At that time I had been a chronic 15 invalid for a good many years. I had acute bowel trouble, bronchitis, and a number of other troubles. One physician had told me that my lungs were like wet paper, 18 ready to tear at any time, and I was filled with fear, as my mother, two brothers, and a sister had been vic- tims of consumption. I tried many physicians and 21 every material remedy that promised help, but no help came until I found a copy of Mrs. Eddy's book, Sci- ence and Health. The book was placed in my hands 24 by one who did not then appreciate it, and I was told that it would be hard for me to understand it. I com- menced reading it with this thought, but I caught beau- 27 tiful glimpses of Truth, which took away my fear and healed me of all those diseases, and they have never returned. 30 I would also like to tell how I was healed of a sprained 1 ankle. The accident occurred in the morning, and all that day and during the night I gave myself Christian 3 Science treatment, as best I could. The next morning it seemed to be no better, being very sore, badly swollen, and much discolored. Feeling that I had done all I could, 6 I decided to stop thinking about it. I took my copy of Science and Health and began reading. Very soon I became so absorbed in the book that I forgot all about 9 my ankle; it went entirely out of my thought, for I had a glimpse of all God's creation as spiritual, and for the time being lost sight of my material selfhood. After two 12 hours I laid the book down and walked into another room. When next I thought of my ankle, I found it was not hurt- ing me. The swelling had gone down, the black and blue 15 appearance had nearly vanished, and it was perfectly well. It was healed while I was "absent from the body" and "present with the Lord." This experience was worth 18 a great deal to me, for it showed me how the healing is done. — C. H., Portland, Ore. |

I had what the doctors 21 diagnosed as muscular rheumatism, dropsy, and con- stipation of thirty years' standing. A dear friend whom I had known as an invalid had been healed by Christian 24 Science and advised me to read Science and Health. I did so, having a desire to know the truth. One of my troubles was that I could not sleep. I began reading the 27 Bible and the Christian Science textbook, and troubles of every kind disappeared before I had read Science and Health through. The thought came, What about the 30 old remedies? but truth prevailed, and I took all the 1 material remedies I had and threw them away. That was seven years ago, and I have not had any use for them 3 since. My husband was healed of the tobacco habit of fifty years' standing, also of kidney trouble, by read- ing Science and Health. I have not words to express 6 the gratitude I feel to-day for the many blessings that have come to our home. — Mrs. M. K. O., Seattle, Wash. |

342 | 630 | S&H 18 | 0 | constipation healed | Show all | DYSPEPSIA QUICKLY HEALED It has occurred to me that I have had ample time to 30 meditate on the many blessings which I have received 1 through Christian Science, as it is now more than six years since I was entirely healed of dyspepsia as well as 3 constipation in its worst form by the reading of Science and Health. So aggravated were the conditions that for three years or more I was unable to drink a glass of cold 6 water. Everything that I drank had to be hot, and my only means of relief from the bowel trouble was hot water injections, for a period of more than three years. 9 I can truthfully say that I was permanently, and I might say instantly, healed of those two ailments by reading Science and Health as before stated, and in fact I do not 12 think I had read more than thirty pages of this book when I ignored entirely the most rigid kind of diet. I ate and drank everything I wished without a single harmful effect 15 from that time to this date, and there has not been a drop of medicine in our home for more than six years, in a fam- ily of five. 18 I have also seen the power of Truth manifested in our home by having our youngest child relieved of the most excruciating pain, and changed to his most playful mood, 21 immediately upon notifying one of the faithful practi- tioners of this city. For all this I am endeavoring to be thankful to God and to our faithful Leader, Mrs. Eddy, 24 whose pure and undefiled life enabled her to discover this precious truth for the benefit of all mankind. — M.

343 | 648 | S&H 18 | 0 | constipation healed | Show all | MOTHER AND DAUGHTER HEALED When Christian Science came to me, I had been tak- 15 ing medicine every day for twenty years, on account of constipation. I had been treated by doctors and spe- cialists; had taken magnetic treatments and osteopathy; 18 had tried change of climate; had an operation in a hospital, and when I came out was worse than before. I was so discouraged, after I had tried everything I ever heard 21 of, and was no better but rather grew worse, that it seemed as though I must give up trying to get well, when a friend suggested that I try Christian Science. I had heard 24 that Christian Scientists healed by prayer, and I thought this must be the way Jesus had healed. I felt that this was all there was left for me to try. I sent for the book, 27 Science and Health, and commenced to read it out of curiosity, not thinking or knowing that I could be helped by the reading, but thinking I must still take medicine 30 and that I must also have treatment by a Scientist. I, 1 however, dropped my medicine and read for three days; then a light began to shine in the darkness. I was healed 3 of the trouble and have never had to take medicine since. I have studied Science and Health faithfully ever since, and other ailments have disappeared. My little daughter 6 has also been healed and has learned to use this knowledge in her school work. — Mrs. O. R., Leadville, Col. |

344 | 658 | S&H 18 | 0 | constipation healed | Show all | A TESTIMONY FROM IRELAND It is with a heart full of love and gratitude to God, 18 and to our dear Leader, that I send this testimony to the Field. I had never been a strong girl; had always been subject to colds and chills, and suffered all my 21 life from a delicate throat. Seven years ago I had a very severe attack of rheumatic fever and subsequently two less severe ones. These left all sorts of evils be- 24 hind them, — debility, chronic constipation, and several others, so that with these ills my life was often a burden to me and I used to think I never should re- 27 ceive relief or health. I had also lost all love for God and faith in Him. I could not accept a God who, as I then believed, visited sickness and sorrow upon 30 His children as a means for drawing them to Him. 1 I was in this state of mind and body when Christian Science found me. A dear friend, seeing my suffering, 3 presented the truth to me, and though at first I did not believe that there could be healing for me, the Chris- tian Scientists' God seemed to be the one I had been 6 looking for all my life. I began to read Science and Health, and shall never forget my joy at finding that I could love and trust God. I took to studying the 9 Bible, and read nothing but Science and Health and other Christian Science literature for a year. After studying the "little book" for about six weeks, I one 12 day realized that I was a well woman, that I had taken no medicine for three weeks, and that my body was perfectly harmonious. The reading of Science and 15 Health had healed me. The wonderful joy and spirit- ual uplifting which came to me then no words of mine can describe. I had also suffered from astigmatism 18 and had for several years been obliged to use special glasses when reading or working, and could never use my eyes for more than half an hour; but from the first 21 reading of Science and Health I found that I could read in any light and for any length of time without the slight- est discomfort. I am not only grateful for the physi- 24 cal healing but for the mental regeneration. I rejoice that I am now able to help others who are sick and sor- rowing. — E. E.

345 | 666 | S&H 18 | 0 | constipation healed | Show all | 1 SCIENCE AND HEALTH A PRICELESS BOON I am a willing witness to the healing power of Chris- 3 tian Science, having had a lifetime's battle with dis- ease and medical experiments. Various doctors finally admitted that they had exhausted their resources, and 6 could only offer me palliatives, saying that a cure was impossible. I had paralysis of the bowels, frequent sick headaches with unutterable agony, and my mortal 9 career was nearly brought to an end by a malignant type of yellow fever. Many were the attending evils of this physical inharmony, but God confounds the wis- 12 dom of men, for while studying Science and Health two years ago, the veil of ignorance was lifted and perfect health was shown to me to be my real con- 15 dition, and to such there is no relapse. The constant use of glasses, which were apparently a necessity to me for years, was proven needless, and they were laid 18 aside. Mrs. Eddy has made Scripture reading a never- failing well of comfort to me. By her interpretation "the way of the Lord" is made straight to me and 21 mine. It aids us in our daily overcoming of the tyr- anny of the flesh and its rebellion against the blessed leading of Christ, Truth. The daily study of the Bible 24 and our textbook is bringing more and more into our con- sciousness the power of God unto salvation. — J. C., Manatee, Fla. |

346 | 684 | S&H 18 | 0 | constipation healed | Show all | A CONVINCING TESTIMONY 18 I became interested in Christian Science some five years ago, the practical nature of its statements appeal- ing to me, and I must say, at the outset, that with my 21 little experience I have found it all and more than I ever dreamt of realizing on this plane of existence. I am satisfied that I have found Truth. God is indeed to me 24 an ever-present help. My little girl, some ten months old, was afflicted with constipation. It was so severe I dreaded to go 27 out anywhere with her, as I knew not when she would be taken with a convulsion. I had tried all the usual remedies in such cases, but it seemed to grow more ob- 30 stinate. There was a Christian Scientist living in 1 the same house with us, a Scientist who let her light shine, and while she said little, I felt the reflection of 3 Love. I had no knowledge of the teachings of Chris- tian Science, save that God was the physician at all times. In my own way I believed He was all-power- 6 ful, and I said to my husband one day, "I am through with medicine for baby. I am just going to leave her in God's care and see what He will do. I have done 9 all I can." I did as I said, laid my burden at God's feet, and did not pick it up again. In two days the child was perfectly natural, and has since been free 12 from the trouble. She is now six years of age. Some months later a second test came. She woke up at nine o'clock at night crying and holding her ear. There 15 was to sense a gathering. I was alone. I took up my Science and Health and Bible, but the more I worked the louder she screamed. Error kept suggesting ma- 18 terial remedies, but I said firmly: "No; I shall not go back to error. God will help me." Just then I thought of my own fear, how excessive it was, and a conversation 21 I had with the Scientist who first voiced the truth to me, came to mind. She said she always found it helpful to treat herself and cast out her own fear before treat- 24 ing a patient. I put baby down and again took up my Science and Health, and these were the words I read: — 27 "Every trial of our faith in God makes us stronger. The more difficult seems the material condition to be overcome by Spirit, the stronger should be our faith 30 and the purer our love. The Apostle John says: 'There is no fear in Love, but perfect Love casteth out fear' " (Science and Health, p. 410). I looked up, the crying 1 had ceased, the child was smiling, and in a few minutes asked to be put to bed. There has been no further 3 trouble of that kind. I have since seen the power of Truth overcome error of many forms, including croup, whooping-cough, ton- 6 silitis, etc. I am thankful for all these proofs, but far more grateful am I for the spiritual teaching to love, to forgive, to curb my tongue, and cease my criticism. 9 — M.

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 silently 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. |

As I read other testimonies and rejoice in them, some one may rejoice in mine. I was healed by reading Science and 18 Health. By applying it, I found it to be the truth that Jesus taught, — the truth that sets free. From childhood I had never known a well day. I 21 was healed of lung trouble of long standing. Con- sumption was hereditary in our family, my mother and three brothers having passed on with it. The law of 24 materia medica said that in a short time I must fol- low them. I also had severe stomach trouble of over eight years' standing, during which time I always re- 27 tired without supper, as the fear of suffering from my food was so great that I denied myself food when hun- gry. For over twenty years I had ovarian trouble, 30 which was almost unbearable at times. It dated from 1 the birth of my first child, and at one time necessitated an operation. I suffered with about all the ills that 3 flesh is heir to: I had trouble with my eyes from a child; wore glasses for fourteen years, several oculists saying I would go blind, one declaring I would be blind in less 6 than a year if I did not submit to an operation, which I refused to do. But thanks be to God whose Truth reached me through 9 the study of our textbook. Words fail to express what Christian Science has done for me in various ways, for my children, my home, my all. The physical healing 12 is but a small part; the spiritual unfolding and uplifting is the "pearl of great price," the half that has never been told. — Mrs. J. P. M., Kansas City, Mo. |

350 | 699 | S&H 18 | 0 | consumption - hereditary healed | Show all | HEALED OF CONSUMPTION AND ASTHMA It is a pleasure to acknowledge the great benefits which 12 have come to me through Christian Science. It is nearly ten years since I began the investigation of the subject by borrowing a copy of Science and Health. I had become 15 a hopeless sufferer from asthma, — the disease being so aggravated at times as to make breathing almost impos- sible. I was also a victim of that dread disease, consump- 18 tion. It was hereditary, nearly all my family on both sides having passed away with it. I took up Christian Science very much as a drowning man catches at a straw. 21 However, I was much interested as soon as I began to understand it, and having read the book nearly all my waking hours for a few weeks, I became so much better 24 and so convinced of its truth, that myself and wife de- stroyed all the medicines in the home, and have never since used any remedy except Christian Science. I con- 27 tinued to study and to put into practice the teaching as best I knew, and was restored to health in a few months. Prior to my investigation of Christian Science I had 30 been from boyhood an outspoken infidel, had read that 1 class of literature extensively, and had no desire for anything of a religious nature, — the orthodox teaching 3 never having appealed to me as a rational exposition of an all-wise God. I now have no more doubt of the truth of the teaching of the great Way-shower, Jesus of Naza- 6 reth, than I doubt the correctness of the basic law of mathematics or music. I have no doubt whatever that Christian Science saved me from the grave, and thus 9 proved a most practicable and efficient help in time of greatest need. However great my physical suffering has been, I can but feel glad that through it the door of con- 12 sciousness was opened to let in the light of Truth. Thus I have progressed a little way in the knowledge of God, good, as revealed in Christian Science. — C. B., Webb 15 City, Mo. |

At that time I had been a chronic 15 invalid for a good many years. I had acute bowel trouble, bronchitis, and a number of other troubles. One physician had told me that my lungs were like wet paper, 18 ready to tear at any time, and I was filled with fear, as my mother, two brothers, and a sister had been vic- tims of consumption. I tried many physicians and 21 every material remedy that promised help, but no help came until I found a copy of Mrs. Eddy's book, Sci- ence and Health. The book was placed in my hands 24 by one who did not then appreciate it, and I was told that it would be hard for me to understand it. I com- menced reading it with this thought, but I caught beau- 27 tiful glimpses of Truth, which took away my fear and healed me of all those diseases, and they have never returned. 30 I would also like to tell how I was healed of a sprained 1 ankle. The accident occurred in the morning, and all that day and during the night I gave myself Christian 3 Science treatment, as best I could. The next morning it seemed to be no better, being very sore, badly swollen, and much discolored. Feeling that I had done all I could, 6 I decided to stop thinking about it. I took my copy of Science and Health and began reading. Very soon I became so absorbed in the book that I forgot all about 9 my ankle; it went entirely out of my thought, for I had a glimpse of all God's creation as spiritual, and for the time being lost sight of my material selfhood. After two 12 hours I laid the book down and walked into another room. When next I thought of my ankle, I found it was not hurt- ing me. The swelling had gone down, the black and blue 15 appearance had nearly vanished, and it was perfectly well. It was healed while I was "absent from the body" and "present with the Lord." This experience was worth 18 a great deal to me, for it showed me how the healing is done. — C. H., Portland, Ore. |

352 | 610 | S&H 18 | 0 | consumption healed | Show all | CANCER AND CONSUMPTION HEALED I was a great sufferer for many years from internal 30 cancer and consumption. I was treated by the best of 1 physicians in New York, Minneapolis, and Duluth, and was finally given up as incurable, when I heard of Chris- 3 tian Science. A neighbor who had been healed of con- sumption, kindly loaned me Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy, which I read and became interested in. In three 6 months' time, I was healed, the truth conveyed to me by this book being the healer, and not only of these diseases, but I was made whole mentally as well. I have not been 9 in bed one day since, or rather in eleven years. I have had many good demonstrations during this time, have passed through many a "fiery trial," but this blessed truth 12 has caused me to stand, at times seemingly alone, and God was with me. I will mention a demonstration of painless childbirth 15 which I have had since coming to Idaho. Perhaps it may help some sister who is looking through the Journal for a demonstration of this kind, as I was before my baby 18 came. Good help being scarce here, I did my housework up to the time I was confined, and was in perfect health. I awoke my husband one morning at five o'clock, and at 21 half past five baby was born, no one being present but my husband and myself. It was quite a surprise to the rest of the family to see me sitting by the fire with a new 24 baby on my lap. My son got the breakfast, of which I ate heartily; at noon I joined the family in the dining- room. I was out on the porch the second day, around 27 the yard the third day, and have been perfectly well ever since, which has been now over three years. To one who had previously passed through agony untold, 30 with a physician in attendance, this seemed wonderful. I hope this will interest some one who is seeking the truth, and I wish to express my sincere love for our beloved 1 Leader, who has given us the "Key to the Scriptures." — E. C.

I had tried everything that I could get in the way of materia medica, and every doctor would tell me nearly the same story 15 about the case. At last they recommended for her only a higher, drier climate, and when she would be at her worst to give her something to quiet her. 18 I tried different climates, but she was no better, indeed worse. At last she struggled along until the first of March, 1899. She had taken to her bed again. 21 For two days and nights she suffered, and I called a physician. He came and diagnosed the case, and said that he could do nothing for her but give her some 24 morphine tablets to make her rest. I gave her two of them according to direction, and just before the time to give her the third, she called me to her bed- 27 side, and said, "Don't give me any more of that stuff, for it does me more harm than good," so I turned and placed them in the fire, though I did not then know any- 30 thing about Christian Science. We had heard of it, but 1 that was all. I gave her the last tablet at eight o'clock that night, and about nine o'clock the next day a lady 3 who had been healed in Christian Science visited her, and introduced her to this great truth. She accepted it and thought she would try it. The lady loaned her Sci- 6 ence and Health. She got the book about ten o'clock that day and read it until dinner was called. She ate a hearty dinner, the first in about three days, and that same 9 evening she dressed herself, walked into the dining-room, ate a hearty supper and enjoyed it. She slept well that night. She borrowed this lady's copy of Science and 12 Health two hours each day for eight days, and was healed. The first day that she read Science and Health she weighed about ninety-five pounds. Three months 15 later she weighed one hundred and thirty-five pounds. — A. J. D., Houston, Tex. |

I suffered intensely after eating, and dropsy was another of my complaints. 27 This, with consumption, caused one doctor to say, "It puzzles me; I have never seen such a case before as yours." 30 I met a friend who had been cured in Christian 1 Science, and she said, "Try Christian Science." I got a copy of Science and Health and in three weeks I 3 was entirely cured. I felt uplifted. It seemed as if God's arms were around and about me. I felt as if heaven had come down to earth for me. After five 6 years of suffering can any one wonder at my unspeak- able gratitude? — A. B., Pittsburgh, Pa. |

355 | 686 | S&H 18 | 0 | consumption healed | Show all | HEALED PHYSICALLY AND SPIRITUALLY I had been taking medicine continually for many 12 years. Finally I was taken suddenly ill and could not leave my room for about two months, then I went away for three months, thinking that I should come back 15 and be able to continue my work. I improved very much, but the fear of quick consumption was with my doctor and my family and friends, and I was warned about the 18 coming winter. Only too soon the fear manifested itself. I had worked just three weeks when all the pains and aches returned, and I had to go to bed as soon as I 21 got home, so there was no pleasure in living. My em- ployer advised me to see my physician, and said perhaps I should not work that winter. I then and there turned 24 to Christian Science. I could not afford to give up work and live away from home, neither did I want to depend on doctors and medicine any longer. I took the book 27 and read it on my way to work, and at noon I lay down on a couch instead of going out for luncheon and fell asleep. When I awoke I was a different person, all 30 pains and aches had gone, and I was free. I was so 1 happy I could hardly contain myself; to material sense it was wonderful. As I walked I kept saying, 3 "Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful," and tried to un- derstand "the scientific statement of being" by repeat- ing portions at a time, then pondering over them. I 6 read the book four times in succession, and every time I found more and more to aid in the under- standing. 9 This healing was in October, 1901, with no other help than Science and Health, and soon I was relieved of other chronic ailments. In February I was able to 12 put away eyeglasses, which I had worn ten years and a half for astigmatism. Oculists told me I would always have to wear them. A month later my father asked 15 me to help him, as he was suffering so much from con- stipation, dyspepsia, and neuralgia. He had been sub- sisting on bran, nearly starving himself until he was most 18 miserable, and his limbs seemed so cold that they were kept wrapped in blankets. I felt very humble as he asked me, and told him I would have a practitioner help 21 him, as I had never treated any one; but he would not consent to have any one but myself, and I finally told him I would try, but that he must not hold Science respon- 24 sible if he were not benefited, for my lack of understand- ing, and not Science, would be at fault. At my request he read Science and Health, ate whatever he wanted, 27 and used no medicine in any form. After two treat- ments I received word from him that he was healed of that bondage of thirty years' standing. In view of 30 all these signs which followed my acceptance of Chris- tian Science, I knew it must be true. — R. L. A., Chicago, Ill. |

356 | 691 | S&H 18 | 0 | consumption healed | Show all | A HELPFUL TESTIMONY 18 Words cannot express my gratitude to God for Christian Science. When I first read Science and Health, I had tried every remedy I had ever heard of. 21 I felt no change in mind or body that I was conscious of until I read page 16 of the chapter on "Prayer," in Science and Health. The first words of the "spiritual 24 sense of the Lord's Prayer," telling of our Father- Mother God, gave me a glimpse of heavenly light. I stopped and reasoned, and remembered the teachings 27 of Jesus. The truth of man's spiritual being dawned on my consciousness. I realized I was not subject to mortal laws, as I had been taught all my life. I could 30 not explain how I knew this, but I knew it. Through Christian Science, Mrs. Eddy had given me what 1 I had longed for all my life, — a Mother, a perfect "Father-Mother God." I had known there was a 3 great lack, and at that time I believe the orthodox world had but half of the truth which Jesus came to establish. When I read, "Give us this day our daily 6 bread," and its spiritual interpretation, my tears began to flow; all the years of bitterness, hate, and fear melted away. I knew then, as I know now, that nothing satisfies 9 but Love. That day began the outward and inward conscious healing, — mental and physical. There never came a doubt! I absolutely knew that Christian Science 12 was and is the truth. Money, friends, materiality, are nothing beside the conscious knowledge of God, man, and the universe. 15 I did not need treatment from any one, — Science and Health was so clear and beautiful. I could not understand the Bible before, but I found it illumined 18 now that I had a little understanding of Christian Science. For ten years I have not had to lie down in the daytime from any sickness. I am now, and have 21 been all these years, the picture of perfect health. When I first read Science and Health I weighed one hundred and four pounds; I now weigh over one hun- 24 dred and sixty. This physical health is not to be com- pared to my happiness, — my harmony that nothing can take away, — because it is the gift of God. Nothing 27 has shown me the perversity of the human mind more than in its conclusions in regard to my healing. Even when I felt and knew that I was healed, people con- 30 stantly said, because I was thin and delicate looking, "You are not well, any one could look at you and know it." Now that I am fleshy, they say, "You don't look 1 as if you ever had a pain in all your life. You could not have had consumption." 3 When I think what my life was before I had Christian Science, of the six years of colds, suffering, and cough- ing, not to mention the unhappiness, I want to "work, 6 watch, and pray" for the Mind of Christ, that I may work rightly in God's vineyard, and to know that in truth, what belongs to one belongs to all, — that one God, one Life, 9 Truth, and Love is all. — A.

At that time my daughter was given up by materia medica to die of lingering consumption, supposed to have 21 been inherited. My own condition seemed even more alarming, as insanity was being manifested, and rather than go to an insane asylum, it seemed to me the only 24 thing to do was to commit suicide. Heart trouble, kid- ney complaint, and continual headaches caused from female trouble were some of the many ailments I had 27 to contend with. My doctor tried to persuade me to undergo an operation as a means of relief, but I had submitted to a severe operation ten years previous, and 30 found only additional suffering as a result, so I would not consent. 1 When I began with Science and Health, I read the chapter on "Prayer" first, and at that time did not sup- 3 pose it possible for me to remember anything I read, but felt a sweet sense of God's protection and power, and a hope that I should at last find Him to be what 6 I so much needed, — a present help in time of trouble. Before that chapter on "Prayer" was finished, my daugh- ter was downstairs eating three meals a day, and daily 9 growing stronger. Before I had finished reading the textbook she was well, but never having heard that the reading of Science and Health healed any one, it was 12 several months before I gave God the glory. One by one my many ailments left me, all but the head- aches; they were less frequent, until at the end of three 15 years the fear of them was entirely overcome. Neither myself nor my daughter have ever received treatments, but the study of the Bible and Science and 18 Health, the Christian Science textbook by Mrs. Eddy, has healed us and keeps us well. While Christian Science was very new to me, I at- 21 tended an experience meeting in First Church of Christ, Scientist, Chicago. A gentleman told of an unhappy woman who was about to separate from her husband. 24 This gentleman had asked her if she did not love her husband. She replied, "No; when I married him I did, but not now." He told her God made man in His 27 image and likeness, and that He is perfect. He said to her, "Go home and see only God's perfect man; you don't need to love a sinful mortal such as you have been 30 looking upon." The lady followed his advice, as he told her there is no separation in divine Mind. In a short time peace and harmony were in her home, and 1 both husband and wife became members of a Christian Science church. 3 This testimony was like a message from heaven to me. I had received many benefits from the study of Science and Health, but it had never dawned upon my darkened 6 consciousness till then how wonderful our God is. I knew what had taken place in that home could take place in my unhappy home where there was neither rest nor 9 peace. I hopefully took up my cross, and step by step my burden grew lighter, as I journeyed along, realizing the 12 presence of the Christ, Truth, that indeed makes us free. Not all at once did any outward change appear, but at the end of three years all was peace, all the 15 members of the family attending church together and realizing that there is but one Mind. — E.

It is very important to keep personality out of the picture. However, one could refer to the attempt of evil to express itself. Mary Baker Eddy states that we should keep track of progress as we are praying for the solution to any problem. We must confirm that Mind is in control of every situation. Cultivating encouragement is progressive. Evil must be exposed in order to be eradicated. The belief of proliferation of evil is easy to see visually if we accept the news as real. We must deny any reality of corruption. We must confirm that the only reality is perfection. This attitude helps to eradicate evil in the form of illegal border crossing, destruction of food resources, & energy sources & other necessities for humanity. All can be solved if we are persistent with the correct prayer treatment of one's own consciousness. THIS RECORDING ENUMERATES A LARGE VARIETY & QUANTITY OF PROGRESS IN DRAINING THE SWAMP...

363 | 684 | S&H 18 | 0 | convulsion healed | Show all | A CONVINCING TESTIMONY 18 I became interested in Christian Science some five years ago, the practical nature of its statements appeal- ing to me, and I must say, at the outset, that with my 21 little experience I have found it all and more than I ever dreamt of realizing on this plane of existence. I am satisfied that I have found Truth. God is indeed to me 24 an ever-present help. My little girl, some ten months old, was afflicted with constipation. It was so severe I dreaded to go 27 out anywhere with her, as I knew not when she would be taken with a convulsion. I had tried all the usual remedies in such cases, but it seemed to grow more ob- 30 stinate. There was a Christian Scientist living in 1 the same house with us, a Scientist who let her light shine, and while she said little, I felt the reflection of 3 Love. I had no knowledge of the teachings of Chris- tian Science, save that God was the physician at all times. In my own way I believed He was all-power- 6 ful, and I said to my husband one day, "I am through with medicine for baby. I am just going to leave her in God's care and see what He will do. I have done 9 all I can." I did as I said, laid my burden at God's feet, and did not pick it up again. In two days the child was perfectly natural, and has since been free 12 from the trouble. She is now six years of age. Some months later a second test came. She woke up at nine o'clock at night crying and holding her ear. There 15 was to sense a gathering. I was alone. I took up my Science and Health and Bible, but the more I worked the louder she screamed. Error kept suggesting ma- 18 terial remedies, but I said firmly: "No; I shall not go back to error. God will help me." Just then I thought of my own fear, how excessive it was, and a conversation 21 I had with the Scientist who first voiced the truth to me, came to mind. She said she always found it helpful to treat herself and cast out her own fear before treat- 24 ing a patient. I put baby down and again took up my Science and Health, and these were the words I read: — 27 "Every trial of our faith in God makes us stronger. The more difficult seems the material condition to be overcome by Spirit, the stronger should be our faith 30 and the purer our love. The Apostle John says: 'There is no fear in Love, but perfect Love casteth out fear' " (Science and Health, p. 410). I looked up, the crying 1 had ceased, the child was smiling, and in a few minutes asked to be put to bed. There has been no further 3 trouble of that kind. I have since seen the power of Truth overcome error of many forms, including croup, whooping-cough, ton- 6 silitis, etc. I am thankful for all these proofs, but far more grateful am I for the spiritual teaching to love, to forgive, to curb my tongue, and cease my criticism. 9 — M.

During 18 this time I had three good doctors treating me. I gained a little in strength, but had very little relief from the stomach trouble. I was recommended to try mineral 21 springs and did so, but with the same disappointment. I went to a sanitarium, but yet the stomach trouble pre- vailed. I had some friends who recommended patent 24 medicines, but no healing came. I worried along in this way for several years. Finally I read medicine nearly two years with a good doctor 27 friend, especially for my own benefit, and during this time I had a severe attack of bladder trouble, and for fifteen years I suffered so severely at times that I thought 30 life was not really worth living. In connection with these 1 troubles I suffered every winter with rheumatism and the grip. I also had a growth coming on both eyes called 3 cataract, which caused my eyes to be inflamed nearly all the time, and this growth had made such progress that it was causing my vision to be very dim when read- 6 ing. Corns were not forgotten, as I was reminded of them very frequently, and for all these troubles I had tried every remedy I heard of that I was able to get, specialists 9 included, without relief. Thanks to a friend who took me in this hopeless, dis- couraged condition and led me to the light that never 12 knows darkness, I got a copy of Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy and was healed in a short time by reading this work. — D.

I knew then, as I know now, that nothing satisfies 9 but Love. That day began the outward and inward conscious healing, — mental and physical. There never came a doubt!

Money, friends, materiality, are nothing beside the conscious knowledge of God, man, and the universe. 15 I did not need treatment from any one, — Science and Health was so clear and beautiful. I could not understand the Bible before, but I found it illumined 18 now that I had a little understanding of Christian Science. For ten years I have not had to lie down in the daytime from any sickness. I am now, and have 21 been all these years, the picture of perfect health. When I first read Science and Health I weighed one hundred and four pounds; I now weigh over one hun- 24 dred and sixty. This physical health is not to be com- pared to my happiness, — my harmony that nothing can take away, — because it is the gift of God. Nothing 27 has shown me the perversity of the human mind more than in its conclusions in regard to my healing. Even when I felt and knew that I was healed, people con- 30 stantly said, because I was thin and delicate looking, "You are not well, any one could look at you and know it." Now that I am fleshy, they say, "You don't look 1 as if you ever had a pain in all your life. You could not have had consumption." 3 When I think what my life was before I had Christian Science, of the six years of colds, suffering, and cough- ing, not to mention the unhappiness, I want to "work, 6 watch, and pray" for the Mind of Christ, that I may work rightly in God's vineyard, and to know that in truth, what belongs to one belongs to all, — that one God, one Life, 9 Truth, and Love is all. — A.

I was healed of profanity, the tobacco habit, and a bad temper through 27 the understanding that man is the image and likeness of God. I was also healed of kidney disease and rheuma- tism. What surprised me most, however, was this; I 30 had had one finger thrown out of place some fifteen years 1 before. It was crooked, but it became straight and use- ful. A bone in my foot had also been broken, leaving 3 a bunch, which disappeared after I studied Christian Science and received class instruction. I am an entirely well man and for this I am very grateful. I am also 6 glad that I have learned enough of Truth and Love to be able to heal others. I wish to express my thankful appreciation of our Leader, also of the Sentinel and the 9 Journal. — N.R.F., Salina, Kans. |

390 | 684 | S&H 18 | 0 | criticism healed | Show all | A CONVINCING TESTIMONY 18 I became interested in Christian Science some five years ago, the practical nature of its statements appeal- ing to me, and I must say, at the outset, that with my 21 little experience I have found it all and more than I ever dreamt of realizing on this plane of existence. I am satisfied that I have found Truth. God is indeed to me 24 an ever-present help. My little girl, some ten months old, was afflicted with constipation. It was so severe I dreaded to go 27 out anywhere with her, as I knew not when she would be taken with a convulsion. I had tried all the usual remedies in such cases, but it seemed to grow more ob- 30 stinate. There was a Christian Scientist living in 1 the same house with us, a Scientist who let her light shine, and while she said little, I felt the reflection of 3 Love. I had no knowledge of the teachings of Chris- tian Science, save that God was the physician at all times. In my own way I believed He was all-power- 6 ful, and I said to my husband one day, "I am through with medicine for baby. I am just going to leave her in God's care and see what He will do. I have done 9 all I can." I did as I said, laid my burden at God's feet, and did not pick it up again. In two days the child was perfectly natural, and has since been free 12 from the trouble. She is now six years of age. Some months later a second test came. She woke up at nine o'clock at night crying and holding her ear. There 15 was to sense a gathering. I was alone. I took up my Science and Health and Bible, but the more I worked the louder she screamed. Error kept suggesting ma- 18 terial remedies, but I said firmly: "No; I shall not go back to error. God will help me." Just then I thought of my own fear, how excessive it was, and a conversation 21 I had with the Scientist who first voiced the truth to me, came to mind. She said she always found it helpful to treat herself and cast out her own fear before treat- 24 ing a patient. I put baby down and again took up my Science and Health, and these were the words I read: — 27 "Every trial of our faith in God makes us stronger. The more difficult seems the material condition to be overcome by Spirit, the stronger should be our faith 30 and the purer our love. The Apostle John says: 'There is no fear in Love, but perfect Love casteth out fear' " (Science and Health, p. 410). I looked up, the crying 1 had ceased, the child was smiling, and in a few minutes asked to be put to bed. There has been no further 3 trouble of that kind. I have since seen the power of Truth overcome error of many forms, including croup, whooping-cough, ton- 6 silitis, etc. I am thankful for all these proofs, but far more grateful am I for the spiritual teaching to love, to forgive, to curb my tongue, and cease my criticism. 9 — M.

It leads you into all discord, into all unkindness, impatience, hard heartedness, unfriendliness—and finally into all evil, hatefulness envy. Just as long as that spirit of criticism remains in your thought, and you leave it there, just so long will not progress, just so long will you not be able to demonstrate, just so long will you not be able to find your way in Truth, because you will be looking for faults constantly...... |

394 | 619 | S&H 18 | 0 | croup healed | Show all | 9 A HELPFUL HEALING I became interested in Christian Science about eleven years ago, and was healed of neuralgia of the stomach, 12 from which I had suffered from a child. 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 aloud. 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. |

395 | 635 | S&H 18 | 0 | croup healed | Show all | 18 DEAF EARS UNSTOPPED As a mother of a family my heart goes out in love and gratitude to that good woman we are privileged to call 21 our Leader, for all she has done through her book for me and mine. Ten years ago I was healed of hereditary deafness and 24 catarrh of the head, simply through reading the book, Science and Health. For years previous I had consulted and taken treatment from some of the best specialists 27 for the ear and throat, both in England and America, but grew worse all the time. I was then urged by a lady who had been healed through Christian Science to buy 30 this book and study it. I did so very reluctantly, but 1 had not read fifty pages before I felt I had indeed found the truth which makes free, and can truly say, from that 3 time I have never had a return of the ailment. That for which I am, however, most grateful, is the daily help it is to me in my household of young chil- 6 dren. I am sure if mothers only knew what Christian Science truly means they would give all they possess to know it. We have seen croup, measles, fever, and 9 various other children's complaints, so-called, disappear like dew before the morning sun, through the applica- tion of Christian Science, — the understanding of God 12 as ever-present and omnipotent. It has been proven to me without a doubt that God is a very present help in trouble, and what a blessed help this wonderful truth is 15 in the training of our children, and how quickly the child grasps it. Some time ago my little girl, then three years old, 18 dislocated her shoulder. I was alone in the house at the time. The pain was so intense that she became faint. I treated her the best I knew how, but kept 21 holding the thought that just as soon as some one came I would run for help. She seemed to grow worse and cried very much. I undressed her and tried to twist 24 the arm into place, but it caused such suffering that I began to get afraid. Then like a flash came the thought, What would you do if you were out of the reach of a prac- 27 titioner? Now is your time to prove God's power and presence. With these thoughts came such a sense of calm and trustfulness that I lost all fear. I then asked 30 the child if I should read to her; she said "Yes, mamma, read the truth-book." I began reading aloud to her from Science and Health. In about half an hour I noticed 1 she tried to lift the arm but screamed and became very pale. I continued to read aloud and again she made 3 an effort to put some candy into her mouth. This time I noticed with joy that she almost reached her mouth before she felt the pain. I kept reading aloud to her 6 until my sister and two boys came in, when she jumped off her bed, so delighted to see her brothers that she for- got her arm. She then began to tell her aunt that she 9 had broken her arm and mamma treated it with the truth- book. When this happened, it was about 10.30 A.M. and by 3 P.M. she was playing out doors as though 12 nothing had ever happened. — Mrs. M. G., Winnipeg, Man. |

I was very ill and unhappy; very cynical and disbeliev- 30 ing in regard to what I heard of God and religion. 1 I tried to live my life in my own way and put religion aside. I was a great believer in fate and in will-power, 3 and thought to put them in the place of God, with the consequence that I was led to do many rash and foolish things. I am now thankful to say that my out- 6 look on life is entirely changed; I have proved God's wisdom and goodness so often that I am willing and thankful to know my future is in His hands and that 9 all things must work out for the best. I have found a God whom I can love and worship with my whole heart, and I now read my Bible with interest and 12 understanding. I was healed of very bad rheumatism simply by read- ing Science and Health. I had tried many medicines, 15 also massage, with no result, and the doctors told me that I would always suffer from this disease, as it was inherited, and also because I had rheumatic fever 18 when a child. I suffered day and night, and nothing relieved me until Science proved to me the falseness of this belief by removing it. I gave up all the medi- 21 cines I was taking and have never touched any since, and that is more than two years ago. Before this I had often tried to do without a medicine that I had 24 taken every day for ten years, but was always ill and had to return to it, until I found out that one Mind is the only medicine, and then I was freed from the suffering. 27 I had also suffered constantly from bilious attacks, colds, and a weak chest, and had been warned not to be out in wet weather, etc., but now, I am glad to say, 30 I am quite free from all those material laws and go out in all sorts of weather. — R.

For these I had been treated by some of the best specialists in my native land, and after coming to the United States I had been doctored 6 much and had worn glasses for four years. I also had catarrh, for which I had taken much medicine without being relieved. In addition to this I was an excessive 9 smoker, using tobacco in some form almost constantly. I had contracted a smoker's heart, and used liquors freely. 12 The one who brought to me that which I now prize so highly, was a book agent. I told him that I should be forced to leave my trade on account of my eyes. 15 He then told me of having been healed of a cancer, through Christian Science treatment. He showed me a copy of Science and Health, which had the signs of 18 much use, and after being assured that if I did my part I would be healed of all my diseases, I sent for a copy of the book. 21 My recovery was very rapid, for after reading the book only three weeks I was completely healed of the tobacco habit. I will say, in regard to this healing, 24 that it did not require even as much as a resolution on my part. I was smoking a cigar, while reading Science and Health, when all the desire to continue 27 smoking left me, and I have never had a desire to use tobacco in any form since then. My eyes were the next to manifest the influence of the new knowledge 30 gained, and had soon so far recovered that I could go about my work with ease, and I have had no more use for glasses. To-day my heart is normal, the catarrh 1 has totally disappeared, and I am not addicted to the use of liquor. 3 Christian Science has proved to be an ever-present help, not only in overcoming physical ailments, but in business and daily life. It has also overcome a great 6 sense of fear. The Bible, which I regarded with suspicion, has become my guide, and Christianity has become a sweet reality, because the Christian Science 9 textbook has indeed been a "Key to the Scriptures" and has breathed through the Gospel pages a sweet sense of harmony. — A.

There is no difficulty in hearing, man hears and understands with perfect ease and infinite joy. Man is God's consciousness, always listening to God, and not one of God's ideas is ever lost, for man understands perfectly every idea that comes to him, and receives it with joy; he has perfect capacity, the Christ capacity, to understand any idea of God. The ideas unfold with perfect sequence, are thoroughly understood, and re-presented with perfect sequence, giving man infinite joy. There is no deafness, man is spiritual, his capacity to hear is a spiritual capacity, for ever perfect, and a source of infinite joy.

In my own case deafness has been overcome by 21 an enlarged understanding of God's word, as explained by Mrs. Eddy in Science and Health. Many times I have been enabled to turn to God, to know it was His 24 will to help in trouble, and obtained the needed benefit. Catarrh has disappeared; tonsilitis, which very frequently laid me aside from duties in the schoolroom and home, 27 is no longer manifest. When temptation comes (for Christian Science is both preventive and curative), I turn to that wonderful book, Science and Health, and my 30 precious Bible, grown dearer since read in the new light 1 of spiritual understanding, until I know that my mind is renewed, because the action is changed and the inflam- 3 mation has abated. Thus in my experience in Christian Science, I have seen the transformation begun, and Truth is able to perfect 6 that which is begun in me so gloriously. — Mrs. C. A. McL., Brooklyn, Nova Scotia. |

I suffered intensely after eating, and dropsy was another of my complaints. 27 This, with consumption, caused one doctor to say, "It puzzles me; I have never seen such a case before as yours." 30 I met a friend who had been cured in Christian 1 Science, and she said, "Try Christian Science." I got a copy of Science and Health and in three weeks I 3 was entirely cured. I felt uplifted. It seemed as if God's arms were around and about me. I felt as if heaven had come down to earth for me. After five 6 years of suffering can any one wonder at my unspeak- able gratitude? — A. B., Pittsburgh, Pa. |

Man is always reflecting Life in its fulness and perfection in every detail. There is no material man to die, man is spiritual and eternal. Life can never cease for Life is God. There is no separation, only one Mind, God, one consciousness, man, and all men are part of that one consciousness, therefore man is instantly in touch with anyone he needs. |

He said they were liver spots, but that it was not worth 21 while prescribing for those few, that I should wait until I was covered with them. About three months later, with the exception of my face and hands, I was covered 24 with them. Then I became alarmed and called on another physician who prescribed for me, but he finally said he could do no more for me. Other physicians 27 were consulted with no better results. Six years ago, friends advised me to see their family physician, and when I called on him he said he was positive he could 30 cure me, so I asked him to prescribe for me. At the 1 end of two years, after prescribing steadily, he said I was so full of medicine that he was afraid to have me 3 take any more, and advised a rest. After having paid out a small fortune, I was no better, and very much discouraged. 6 Two years ago, having failed in business, I applied to one of my patrons for a furnished room where I could meet the few I still had left. This lady, who is a Christian 9 Scientist, loaned me Science and Health, and because she asked me so often how I was getting on with the book, I began reading it. I also attended the Wednes- 12 day evening meetings which I found very interesting. After hearing the testimonies at the meetings, I decided to speak to some practitioner about these spots, but 15 not until I had at least a hundred dollars on hand, be- cause I thought I would require that amount for treat- ments, as I had been accustomed to paying high prices. 18 I had not inquired about prices, and in fact did not speak to any one about my intentions, because I felt sensitive on this subject. When I had read about half of Science 21 and Health, I missed the spots, and upon searching could find no trace of them. They had entirely dis- appeared without treatment. In a few weeks the read- 24 ing of that book had accomplished what materia medica had failed to accomplish in ten years. It is impossible to express the feeling of relief and happiness which came 27 over me then. — C. K., Astoria, N. Y. |

On De- 3 cember 6, 1902, my wife presented me with Science and Health as a birthday gift, and it was indeed the best present I ever received.

I lived, however, although there was not much improvement in my health. Travel and change 6 of climate brought only temporary relief, and the physi- cians gave me no hope that I would ever be well. As a last resort I began the study of Science and 9 Health, and before I had finished reading the book I realized that its author was divinely commissioned to bring this spiritual message to a waiting world. Through 12 this reading my health was restored, and I was healed of one disease that has been called incurable by all physicians. 15 For this, together with the greater and higher bless- ing of having the spiritual fact of being unfolded to me, I am most grateful. 18 What shall be rendered for such benefits received and made possible by the consecrated life of our revered Leader? Only by following the teachings of our text- 21 book, and by loving obedience to her gentle and timely admonitions can we show our true sense of gratitude. — F. H. D., De Funiak Springs, Fla. |

I was suddenly left alone, with many troubles and trials, and I took up the study of the Bible. I 24 was trying to understand it, prior to joining some church, as it seemed to me this would be expected. I had attended all sorts of churches from my childhood 27 up, but never could find any that met my need. As time passed on, my condition became very alarming. Sciatic rheumatism, that had troubled me for some 30 years, became so severe I could scarcely do anything. 1 Then there appeared some complications, so distressing that I was unable to walk far, and had to sit down fre- 3 quently by the way. I thought I had Bright's disease, — such excruciating pains, no tongue could tell my suffer- ings. With all these things upon me, death seemed very 6 near. I had never joined any church, and I thought it now too late, as I would have to wait six months on pro- bation, and I would be dead before that. 9 About this time I made some inquiries of my sister in reference to Christian Science, as she had already turned to that faith, and I soon found that it was just what I had 12 been looking for. I saw at once that it declared the truth and nothing but the truth. I commenced reading Science and Health, also the New Testament. I wanted to find 15 out what Jesus said, as I did not expect then to live long. I did not go to the meetings, nor did I read Science and Health to be cured, — not thinking of that, — but to be 18 saved from an everlasting hell hereafter. My sister urged me to have a practitioner, but I kept on reading, and praying to God in silence, and what happened? Where 21 had the diseases gone? I persisted in reading Science and Health, together with the Bible, with the knowl- edge that God as revealed by Christ Jesus can do 24 everything, that He made everything that was made, that He can and does heal the afflicted. He has healed me, thanks to His most holy name. — G. J. H., Charles- 27 ton, Ill. |

From childhood I was always sick, never knew one hour of rest, and was 21 under the doctor's care most of the time. I was living in the East at that time, and was advised to try change of climate, which I did. I came West with my family in 24 the spring of the year, but instead of growing better I grew steadily worse, until at last I was obliged to keep my bed for nearly three years, — a great sufferer. My 27 ailments were, it seemed, all that flesh is heir to, and were called incurable by the doctors; viz., Bright's dis- ease, and many others, — in the last stages. My case was 30 known among physicians, many of whom were prominent 1 specialists, as a most extreme one. Many, upon looking at me, would turn away with a wise shake of the head 3 and say, "What keeps her alive?" My physicians, who were exceedingly kind and did all that lay within their power for me, gave me up and the death sentence was 6 pronounced on me by all who attended me. It was then I realized that "man's extremity is God's opportunity." The "little book" was handed me at this 9 hour of great need. I read it, not thinking it would heal me, but, like a drowning man, I grasped at it. I read it, read it again, and soon found myself growing stronger; 12 then I kept on reading and was perfectly healed of all the supposedly incurable diseases. — L. B., Austin, Minn. |

423 | 658 | S&H 18 | 0 | debility healed | Show all | A TESTIMONY FROM IRELAND It is with a heart full of love and gratitude to God, 18 and to our dear Leader, that I send this testimony to the Field. I had never been a strong girl; had always been subject to colds and chills, and suffered all my 21 life from a delicate throat. Seven years ago I had a very severe attack of rheumatic fever and subsequently two less severe ones. These left all sorts of evils be- 24 hind them, — debility, chronic constipation, and several others, so that with these ills my life was often a burden to me and I used to think I never should re- 27 ceive relief or health. I had also lost all love for God and faith in Him. I could not accept a God who, as I then believed, visited sickness and sorrow upon 30 His children as a means for drawing them to Him. 1 I was in this state of mind and body when Christian Science found me. A dear friend, seeing my suffering, 3 presented the truth to me, and though at first I did not believe that there could be healing for me, the Chris- tian Scientists' God seemed to be the one I had been 6 looking for all my life. I began to read Science and Health, and shall never forget my joy at finding that I could love and trust God. I took to studying the 9 Bible, and read nothing but Science and Health and other Christian Science literature for a year. After studying the "little book" for about six weeks, I one 12 day realized that I was a well woman, that I had taken no medicine for three weeks, and that my body was perfectly harmonious. The reading of Science and 15 Health had healed me. The wonderful joy and spirit- ual uplifting which came to me then no words of mine can describe. I had also suffered from astigmatism 18 and had for several years been obliged to use special glasses when reading or working, and could never use my eyes for more than half an hour; but from the first 21 reading of Science and Health I found that I could read in any light and for any length of time without the slight- est discomfort. I am not only grateful for the physi- 24 cal healing but for the mental regeneration. I rejoice that I am now able to help others who are sick and sor- rowing. — E. E.

When able to be around, I walked with 24 the assistance of a cane. The attacks were periodical, recurring every few months; any exposure to rain or dampness would bring one. At one time I was in bed 27 eleven weeks, suffering intensely all the time except when relieved by hypodermic injections. When I had these attacks, my regular physician was always in attendance. 30 My daughter consulted another physician, who said there 1 would have to be an operation which would include the exposing and scraping of the sciatic nerve. There 3 was also another physician who, knowing of the case, examined my heart and claimed that it was weak and that I was liable to pass on at any time from heart 6 trouble. After suffering three years I heard of Christian Science, but did not avail myself of it for two years, when I de- 9 cided to give up all other means and rely wholly upon it. It was not convenient to call a practitioner, so I took Science and Health and applied its teachings as best 12 I could. In three days the trouble completely left me and there has never been the slightest return. My health has been good ever since, and I am at present 15 in perfect physical health. I have been benefited in every way by Christian Science, physically, mentally, and spiritually, and would not be without my understand- 18 ing of it for anything. — Mrs. E. A. K., Billings, Mont. |

For twenty years I was a constant sufferer, my spine having been injured when I was very young. As a little child I 6 suffered so much that I would look up to the stars and beg God, who I thought might be up there somewhere, to take me away from the earth, — I was 9 so tired. A great wall of pain seemed to separate me from the pleasures enjoyed by others, and I could not explain how I felt, because no one could understand. 12 Years passed, and I saw my earthly happiness swept away; my heart was broken and I did not know what to do. I cried for help, day after day and night after 15 night, although I was not sure what God was, nor where He was. I only knew that I suffered, and was in need of help, and that there was no earthly help 18 for either mind or body. I loved purity, truth, and right always, and this made evil seem a most terrible reality. I was unable to cope with it, and so found 21 myself in despair. This was my condition when I com- menced reading Science and Health. I was ready for its message, and in about ten days there came a won- 24 derful insight into the truth which heals the sick and binds up the broken-hearted. All pain left me, I had a glimpse of the new heavens and the new earth, and 27 was beginning to be fed by Love divine. I had suffered for years with insomnia. That night I rested like a child, and awoke the next morning well 30 and happy. A flood of light daily illumined the pages of the "little book," and the revelation it holds for all 1 came to my waiting heart. "The peace which passeth all understanding" rested upon me, and joy too deep for 3 words transformed my life. My prayers were answered, for I had found God in Christian Science. The Bible, which I knew very little about, became 6 my constant study, my joy, and my guide. The copy which I bought at the time of my healing is marked from Genesis to Revelation. It was so constantly 9 in my hands for three years that the cover became worn and the leaves loose, so it has been laid away for a new one. Two and three o'clock in the morning 12 often found me poring over its pages, which grew more and more sacred to me every day, and the help I received therefrom was wonderful, for which I can 15 find no words to express my gratitude. — I.

It is a little over a year since 6 Science found me in a deplorable condition, physically as well as mentally. I had ailments of many years' standing, — chronic stomach trouble, severe eye trouble, 9 made almost unbearable from the constant fear of losing my sight (a fate which had befallen my mother), also a painful rupture of twenty-five years' 12 standing. These ailments, combined with unhappy conditions in my home, made me very despondent. I had entirely lost my belief in an all-merciful God, and 15 I did not know where to turn for help. At that time Christian Science was brought to my notice, and I shall never forget the sublime moment when I perceived that 18 an all-loving Father is always with me. Forgotten was all sorrow and worry, and after four weeks' reading in Science and Health all my ailments had disappeared. 21 I am to-day a healthy, contented woman. All this has come to pass in one short year, and my earnest desire is to be more and more worthy to be 24 called a child of God. This is in loving gratitude for an understanding of this glorious truth. — Mrs. R. J., Chicago, Ill. |

There is no waste, everything is in its place, every idea of God being utilised to the uttermost. There is no disorder, all is perfect harmony, for every idea is eternally governed by God, Love, and by God only. There is no excess of sugar, for all is spiritual, and every idea of God is in its right place. No idea of God is ever wasted; all God's ideas are fully utilised to the uttermost. Only God's ideas unfold to man and only ideas of God are passed on; these arc passed on in perfect order, for God is the Principle of all law and order. If necessary, realise that man's pancreas is a divine idea, never out of order, man’s pancreas is spiritual, the reflection of God as Spirit, the Principle of all goodness and holiness, working perfectly with absolute regularity and ease. Then to minimise the apparent effect of the reduced diet, usually ordered, realise that there is no want of assimilation of the food, man's food is the ideas of God, which man digests, assimilates and understands perfectly, these ideas feed man and nourish man and give him increase. There is no emaciation, the ideas of God feed man and nourish man, and man reflects substance and entity and is full and complete.

Although a constant reader of all kinds of papers 27 and books, I had never heard anything of Christian Sci- ence, except a short notice that spring in a San Francisco newspaper, from an orthodox clergyman, referring to the 30 Christian Science people in not very complimentary style. 1 In Mrs. Eddy's book I came across a great deal of thought that was not readily understood at the first read- 3 ing, but by continued and careful study, and a good deal of help from my knowledge of chemistry and natu- ral philosophy, I soon shook off the belief of sensation 6 in matter, — the so-called elementary substance. One afternoon I put the belt on my circular saw to cut blocks of firewood and also to split a small stick of frame tim- 9 ber. In doing this the stick closed and pinched the saw. I picked up a small wooden wedge and tried to drive it into the saw kerf, but a bit of ice let the stick on to the 12 back of the saw and instantly it flew, with heavy force, into my face, and bouncing off my left cheek fell about twenty feet off on the snow. The blood spattered on the 15 snow next the saw table, and on feeling with my hand there were two wounds, one on the lock of the jaw and another forward, as big as a dollar, on the cheek bone. 18 "Now," I thought to myself, "there is a case of surgery for you," and without further ceremony, I began to treat the case to the best of my knowledge, with the 21 result that the bleeding stopped almost instantly, and so did a thumping pain, which had commenced. I paid no more attention to the matter, but finished my 24 work, and then went to supper. When I washed my face, I felt a big lump on the jawbone where the block of wood struck, but after my usual reading I went to 27 bed and slept all night until near daylight, when a pain on the right side awoke me. On feeling with my hand there was another big lump on the right side, but I 30 treated it and went to sleep again. I never lost an hour from the hurt, although I found out that my jaw was broken. There is no scar, only a little red spot on 1 the cheek, and the lumps on the bone have long since disappeared. 3 In summing up the benefits I have received from the reading of Science and Health, I can but refer to a condition of sickness dating back to the war (1862), 6 when chronic and malignant diarrhoea came near making an end of my material existence. My hearing, also, was seriously impaired from the effect of cannon 9 firing at Shiloh, but it has come back to me, and where I formerly dared not eat an orange, or grapes, I can now eat anything without being hurt. My peace of mind 12 is giving me a rest which I never experienced before during my life, and I have ceased to look away off for the divine presence that was always near, though I did 15 not know it. — L.

Some years ago I was pronounced by a pro- 24 fessor of materia medica, whose works are in general use, a neurasthenic. I had been in this condition more or less for eight years, and up to two years ago, when Christian 27 Science was first brought to my attention (thanks to Al- mighty God) through a kind friend, I was almost con- stantly taking medicine and had in all eleven physicians 30 who undoubtedly did their best, but without avail, not- 1 withstanding almost all known drugs were prescribed, and further I had tried very many patent medicines. I 3 was also put through forms of hygienic treatment and other things that offered inducements. At the time of coming into Science I was taking three times daily forty 6 minims of cod-liver oil and three of creosote, also three drops of Fowler's solution of arsenic, and on the month or so previous had bought eighteen dollars' worth of 9 patent medicine. I was restricted to the simplest means of diet, — all stews, fries, sweets, berries, and tomatoes I had not touched for two years. 12 I started to read Science and Health, and before I had half finished the book once I was eating everything that any one does. I read the book eleven times straight 15 ahead and many times skipping about. The book has done the work and I am a well man. — C. E. M., Philadelphia, Pa. |

461 | 679 | S&H 18 | 0 | diet confinement to toast healed | Show all | I should like to express my gratitude for the many benefits I have received through Christian Science, and to mention the great joy brought to me in the thought that man is not the helpless victim of sin, disease, and death. Through its teachings I have been able to overcome many errors. When Christian Science found me, one year ago last April, in Chicago, I was suffering from catarrh of the stomach, which had been very persistent, and I had been a slave to the cigarette habit for eighteen years. Pain and weakness had robbed me of all that one holds dear. The first symptoms of the disease appeared about five years ago in the form of severe cramps of the stomach, which finally developed into other symptoms of that painful disease. I doctored continually, my diet daily becoming more rigid, until three slices of toast became my daily allowance of food. In this condition I left the East for my home in Chicago, hoping that a change of climate might benefit me. After spending six weeks there and finding no relief, I concluded to return East. The Sunday morning before leaving I picked up a Sunday paper, and glancing through the religious items my eyes fell on the notices of Christian Science church services. Curiosity led me to a service and I shall never forget that morning or the surprise and joy it gave me to find that beautiful church, and to know that so great a number actually believed that God does heal the sick today. This brought a first ray of hope. The evening service found me there again. Among the notices read was that of a reading room, giving the location and time of opening. Monday morning found me there promptly, and the first book I picked up was Science and Health which opened a new world to me. I had dieted so long and suffered so much that I had a morbid fear of food. When I had reached and read of "neither food nor the stomach, without the consent of mortal mind, can make one suffer" (Science and Health, p. 221), I left the reading room for something to eat. I found a bakery near by, and bought a bag of cakes which I ate, and shortly after I had a hearty dinner without the least complaint from my stomach. From that time until now I have eaten anything that I wished, and the craving for cigarettes, which I had for many years, has entirely vanished. The understanding of Truth, which entirely relieved the diseased stomach, healed also the morbid appetite for smoking. After coming back East, I bought a copy of Science and Health, which I have read daily, and find it a continual help in all the affairs of life. In my home and at work I find this Science a comfort and source of strength. I have had many difficulties in the way, but it has helped me out of them all. - W. E. B., New Britain, Conn. |

462 | 686 | S&H 18 | 0 | diet of only brain healed | Show all | HEALED PHYSICALLY AND SPIRITUALLY I had been taking medicine continually for many 12 years. Finally I was taken suddenly ill and could not leave my room for about two months, then I went away for three months, thinking that I should come back 15 and be able to continue my work. I improved very much, but the fear of quick consumption was with my doctor and my family and friends, and I was warned about the 18 coming winter. Only too soon the fear manifested itself. I had worked just three weeks when all the pains and aches returned, and I had to go to bed as soon as I 21 got home, so there was no pleasure in living. My em- ployer advised me to see my physician, and said perhaps I should not work that winter. I then and there turned 24 to Christian Science. I could not afford to give up work and live away from home, neither did I want to depend on doctors and medicine any longer. I took the book 27 and read it on my way to work, and at noon I lay down on a couch instead of going out for luncheon and fell asleep. When I awoke I was a different person, all 30 pains and aches had gone, and I was free. I was so 1 happy I could hardly contain myself; to material sense it was wonderful. As I walked I kept saying, 3 "Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful," and tried to un- derstand "the scientific statement of being" by repeat- ing portions at a time, then pondering over them. I 6 read the book four times in succession, and every time I found more and more to aid in the under- standing. 9 This healing was in October, 1901, with no other help than Science and Health, and soon I was relieved of other chronic ailments. In February I was able to 12 put away eyeglasses, which I had worn ten years and a half for astigmatism. Oculists told me I would always have to wear them. A month later my father asked 15 me to help him, as he was suffering so much from con- stipation, dyspepsia, and neuralgia. He had been sub- sisting on bran, nearly starving himself until he was most 18 miserable, and his limbs seemed so cold that they were kept wrapped in blankets. I felt very humble as he asked me, and told him I would have a practitioner help 21 him, as I had never treated any one; but he would not consent to have any one but myself, and I finally told him I would try, but that he must not hold Science respon- 24 sible if he were not benefited, for my lack of understand- ing, and not Science, would be at fault. At my request he read Science and Health, ate whatever he wanted, 27 and used no medicine in any form. After two treat- ments I received word from him that he was healed of that bondage of thirty years' standing. In view of 30 all these signs which followed my acceptance of Chris- tian Science, I knew it must be true. — R. L. A., Chicago, Ill. |

So aggravated were the conditions that for three years or more I was unable to drink a glass of cold 6 water. Everything that I drank had to be hot, and my only means of relief from the bowel trouble was hot water injections, for a period of more than three years. 9 I can truthfully say that I was permanently, and I might say instantly, healed of those two ailments by reading Science and Health as before stated, and in fact I do not 12 think I had read more than thirty pages of this book when I ignored entirely the most rigid kind of diet. I ate and drank everything I wished without a single harmful effect 15 from that time to this date, and there has not been a drop of medicine in our home for more than six years, in a fam- ily of five. 18 I have also seen the power of Truth manifested in our home by having our youngest child relieved of the most excruciating pain, and changed to his most playful mood, 21 immediately upon notifying one of the faithful practi- tioners of this city. For all this I am endeavoring to be thankful to God and to our faithful Leader, Mrs. Eddy, 24 whose pure and undefiled life enabled her to discover this precious truth for the benefit of all mankind. — M.

I was reared by 24 kind and loving Christian parents and was a member of an orthodox church for over twenty years, but I was never satisfied. I was filled with fear and bound down 27 by the false gods of this world, — sin, disease, and pov- erty; consequently every way I turned, and in everything I attempted to do, I was met with disappointment and 30 failure; but God was leading me into a different life. 1 My interest was first awakened to Christian Science about thirteen years ago, and I have been a willing dis- 3 ciple ever since. Through the reading of Science and Health I was healed of chronic catarrh and laryngitis, and it also enabled me to lay off my glasses. Christian 6 Science has not only helped me mentally, morally, and physically, but the greatest blessing of all is the spirit- ual uplifting which enabled me to know that God is both 9 able and willing to care for His children, if we are but willing to do our part and bear the cross which, though it seems heavy at times, always brings a sure reward. 12 Christian Science has not only helped me, but it has enabled me to help others. The Bible is a new book to me. I now see what 15 Jesus meant when he said, "Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest." My heart goes out in gratitude to Mrs. Eddy for the 18 work she has done and is still doing for the world, and to God I am most grateful that He has guided me into the truth, that I may have life, and have it more abundantly. 21 — Mrs. M.

The periodicals so wisely established by our 21 Leader give us one means of showing forth the praises of Truth. From the darkness of physical pain and weariness into 24 the light of wholeness and joyousness in work and living, — from the darkness of a clouded sight into the light of clearer vision, — from the darkness of doubt 27 and discord into the marvellous light of the reality of good, — this is what a reading of the Christian Science textbook has done for me. 30 At the time the book was lent to me, I was teach- 1 ing in the public schools of Chicago, and absences from my work on account of illness were of frequent occurrence. 3 For five weeks I had been under the care of a specialist for an organic trouble, and he said I would have to come as many more months before a cure could be effected. 6 At this time, Science and Health was brought to my notice. I never thought of such a thing as being healed by the reading of the book, but my thought was so changed 9 that I was healed, not only of the organic trouble, but of blurred eyesight, fatigue, and a train of other discordant manifestations. I did not go back to the physician 12 until four months later to pay my bill (which, by the way, was more than five times the price of the Science and Health I had purchased). From the time I read 15 the book I taught steadily without losing time from my work. I was helped, too, with my work in many other ways. 18 Through reading the textbook I learned that God has given us strength to do all we have to do, and that it is the things we do not have to do (the envying, strife, emu- 21 lating, vainglorying, and so on) that leave in their wake fatigue and discord. Gratitude to our beloved Leader, Mrs. Eddy, and 24 to her faithful students, with whom I afterwards be- came associated, can be expressed only by daily efforts to put into practice what has been taught. — T.

I was a very unhappy, discontented woman; I 21 had kidney disease, besides sore eyes, and my general health was very bad. The doctor said that the climate did not suit me, and that I certainly should have a change. 24 The best thing, he said, was to go back to France (my own country); but I did not like to leave the school, so I struggled on until July, when we went travelling for a 27 month, but I came home worse than ever. I had a lot of worry, one disappointment after another, and I often thought that life was not worth living. In September, 30 1904, we heard for the first time of Christian Science 1 through a girl who was attending our boarding-school, and who was healed through Christian Science treatment. 3 We bought the textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mrs. Eddy, and what a revelation it was and is to us; it is indeed the fountain of Truth. I 6 had read Science and Health but a very short time when I took off my glasses, began to sleep well, and soon found myself well in mind and body. Besides this, it has brought 9 harmony into our school, where there had been discord, and everything is changed for the better. I cannot de- scribe the happiness that has come to me through Chris- 12 tian Science; I can only exclaim with the psalmist: "Bless the Lord, O my soul;" and may God bless Mrs. Eddy. My one aim now is to live Christian Science, not in words 15 only, but in deeds; loving God more and my neighbor as myself, and following meekly and obediently all our Leader's teachings.

During 18 this time I had three good doctors treating me. I gained a little in strength, but had very little relief from the stomach trouble. I was recommended to try mineral 21 springs and did so, but with the same disappointment. I went to a sanitarium, but yet the stomach trouble pre- vailed. I had some friends who recommended patent 24 medicines, but no healing came. I worried along in this way for several years. Finally I read medicine nearly two years with a good doctor 27 friend, especially for my own benefit, and during this time I had a severe attack of bladder trouble, and for fifteen years I suffered so severely at times that I thought 30 life was not really worth living. In connection with these 1 troubles I suffered every winter with rheumatism and the grip. I also had a growth coming on both eyes called 3 cataract, which caused my eyes to be inflamed nearly all the time, and this growth had made such progress that it was causing my vision to be very dim when read- 6 ing. Corns were not forgotten, as I was reminded of them very frequently, and for all these troubles I had tried every remedy I heard of that I was able to get, specialists 9 included, without relief. Thanks to a friend who took me in this hopeless, dis- couraged condition and led me to the light that never 12 knows darkness, I got a copy of Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy and was healed in a short time by reading this work. — D.

I was so discouraged, after I had tried everything I ever heard 21 of, and was no better but rather grew worse, that it seemed as though I must give up trying to get well, when a friend suggested that I try Christian Science. I had heard 24 that Christian Scientists healed by prayer, and I thought this must be the way Jesus had healed. I felt that this was all there was left for me to try. I sent for the book, 27 Science and Health, and commenced to read it out of curiosity, not thinking or knowing that I could be helped by the reading, but thinking I must still take medicine 30 and that I must also have treatment by a Scientist. I, 1 however, dropped my medicine and read for three days; then a light began to shine in the darkness. I was healed 3 of the trouble and have never had to take medicine since. I have studied Science and Health faithfully ever since, and other ailments have disappeared.

487 | 672 | S&H 18 | 0 | discouragement healed | Show all | Most of my boyhood days were spent in the hands of physicians. From birth I was considered a very weakly child, but my mother was brave, and being much devoted to me did everything within her knowledge and power for my comfort. Sickness and medicine were continually before me, and by the time I reached my teens I thought I knew a material remedy for every ill. I continued in my delusion, because I was never told the real cause of my trouble. Besides being under a leading specialist for two years, I was also an outdoor patient at a noted hospital, but I was not healed. It is wonderful how the "little ones" are cared for in the face of all these seeming difficulties. I always used the prayers that I had been taught, and as I grew older I began to ask for wisdom. Little by little I gained a desire for freedom, and my prayers finally led me to the truth. The first week that I heard of Christian Science, I visited the home of dear Christian Science friends, and was at once refreshed by their purity of thought and example. I bought a copy of Science and Health, and, after studying it a little while with the Bible, I saw that if the Bible was true, Science and Health must also be true. I began to demonstrate over my physical and mental condition, and as soon as the fear and pain began to leave me I felt encouraged to go on. I was healed, and stopped complaining. I kept on studying our textbook, and when I got an understanding in a small degree of the Science of Mind, my first thought was to help others. I was guided where I could progress in Science, and was no longer "carried about with every wind of doctrine," but held to Principle as closely as possible. From the time the healing came into my consciousness, the desire for material remedies left me, because Christian Science at once pointed out the way to get at the cause of discord and disease. All that I had to give up were the false beliefs of mortal mind. Christian Science then taught me to love the church, and to appreciate what it had already done for mankind. I often thought of the old adage, "Charity begins at home," and after three years' preparation I felt able to take Christian Science to my home, where it found, in due time, ready acceptance and willing disciples. This gave me even greater joy than my own healing. The more good I saw accomplished, the more love I had for the truth. Christian Science changed my course from the first, and gave me a nobler aim and purpose in life. I was not so easily influenced by other people's shortcomings, when I learned that evil has neither personality nor place. I was not so ready to take offence, when I found out the way to work unselfishly for the upbuilding of the Cause. - A. E. J., Toledo, Ohio. |

My earliest recollection was a day 3 of suffering, — a physical inheritance from my mother, which gave simple interest for a time until years ad- vanced and compound interest was added. My father 6 was a physician, and material remedies were used for my mother without avail, consequently his confidence in them for me was shaken, — in fact he often told me 9 it was better to suffer without medicine than become a chronic doser, without pain. I began teaching in early life and continued for more 12 than twenty years, and during that time not a day passed without pain, or fear of pain, and only for my innate love of life it would have become an intolerable burden. 15 For five years oatmeal was my chief food and I became almost as attached to it as Kaspar Hauser to his crust. I was early taught to have faith in God, and many times 18 was relieved of pain only to have it appear again in an aggravated form. At last my heart cried out for the living God, and 21 the answer came by one of His messengers, who told me of Christian Science. I replied that I believed God could heal, but that I had no faith in the healing of Chris- 24 tian Science, but would like to investigate its theology, as it might aid in giving me some clue to the meaning of life. For three years I had searched the works of 27 the most scientific writers to find the origin of life; many times I would think I had traced it to the beginning, but it would elude my grasp every time. One day in 30 talking with my friend, she said she would like to loan me the textbook, Science and Health, which I very will- ingly accepted. Not long afterward I felt a severe 1 attack of suffering. I opened the book for the first time and found a paragraph near the middle which 3 attracted my attention. I read the same paragraph over and over for nearly two hours. When the tea bell rang I closed the book and I shall never forget my per- 6 ception of the new heaven and the new earth, — every- thing in nature that I could see seemed to have been washed and made clean. The flowers that I have 9 always loved so much, and that from childhood had told me such sweet stories, now spoke to me of the All-in-all, the hearts of my friends seemed kinder, — I 12 had touched the hem of the garment of healing. I ate my supper that evening forgetful of the prepa- rations I had made for suffering, and when the next 15 day began I was more zealous of good work than ever before. Since closing Science and Health at my first reading I have never been able to find the paragraph 18 which I had read so many times over, the words seemed to have slipped away from me, but my joy knew no bounds at having found the pearl of great price. By 21 the continued reading of the book I was entirely healed, and for fourteen years I have not seen a day of physical suffering. — Miss L. M., Rome, N. Y. |

From childhood I was always sick, never knew one hour of rest, and was 21 under the doctor's care most of the time. I was living in the East at that time, and was advised to try change of climate, which I did. I came West with my family in 24 the spring of the year, but instead of growing better I grew steadily worse, until at last I was obliged to keep my bed for nearly three years, — a great sufferer. My 27 ailments were, it seemed, all that flesh is heir to, and were called incurable by the doctors; viz., Bright's dis- ease, and many others, — in the last stages. My case was 30 known among physicians, many of whom were prominent 1 specialists, as a most extreme one. Many, upon looking at me, would turn away with a wise shake of the head 3 and say, "What keeps her alive?" My physicians, who were exceedingly kind and did all that lay within their power for me, gave me up and the death sentence was 6 pronounced on me by all who attended me. It was then I realized that "man's extremity is God's opportunity." The "little book" was handed me at this 9 hour of great need. I read it, not thinking it would heal me, but, like a drowning man, I grasped at it. I read it, read it again, and soon found myself growing stronger; 12 then I kept on reading and was perfectly healed of all the supposedly incurable diseases. — L. B., Austin, Minn. |

I lived, however, although there was not much improvement in my health. Travel and change 6 of climate brought only temporary relief, and the physi- cians gave me no hope that I would ever be well. As a last resort I began the study of Science and 9 Health, and before I had finished reading the book I realized that its author was divinely commissioned to bring this spiritual message to a waiting world. Through 12 this reading my health was restored, and I was healed of one disease that has been called incurable by all physicians. 15 For this, together with the greater and higher bless- ing of having the spiritual fact of being unfolded to me, I am most grateful. 18 What shall be rendered for such benefits received and made possible by the consecrated life of our revered Leader? Only by following the teachings of our text- 21 book, and by loving obedience to her gentle and timely admonitions can we show our true sense of gratitude. — F. H. D., De Funiak Springs, Fla. |

In 1895 I attended my first 1 Christian Science meeting, and was deeply impressed with the earnestness of the people and the love re- 3 flected, but as for the spiritual healing of the physical body, I did not believe such a thing to be possible. I bought Science and Health and studied it to be 6 able to dispute intelligently with the supposedly de- luded followers of Christian Science. I pursued the study carefully and thoroughly, and I have had abun- 9 dant reason since to be glad that I did, for through this study, and the resultant understanding of my rela- tion to God, I was healed of a disease with which I 12 had been afflicted since childhood and for which there was no known remedy. Surely my experience has been the fulfilling in part of the Scripture: "He sent 15 His Word and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions." I believe that Science and Health reveals the Word referred to by David. — C. A. B. B., 18 Kansas City, Mo. |

493 | 653 | S&H 18 | 0 | diseased internal organs healed | Show all | GRATEFUL FOR MANY BLESSINGS 9 In 1894 I began the study of Christian Science. At that time I was greatly in need of its healing truth. For a number of years previous I had been a semi- 12 invalid with no hope of ever being well and strong again. Several years before this time I had undergone an operation which resulted in peritonitis. For three 15 years previous to my study of Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy, I was scarcely ever free from headache caused by the weakened and diseased condition of the 18 internal organs. At the time I began the study of Christian Science I was taking five kinds of medicine. I began to read Science and Health, and did not 21 take treatment, for I thought, "If this is truth, I shall be healed; if it is not, I shall be able to detect it, and will have nothing to do with it." I became a 24 devoted student and gradually my bodily diseases left me, — I was free, and since that time, nearly ten years ago, neither my two children nor myself have 27 taken any medicine; and our understanding of truth has been able to meet and overcome any suggestion of illness. 30 I was a devoted member of an orthodox church, 1 but as I grew older I began to question my beliefs, and to my questions I could find no satisfactory an- 3 swer. I became dissatisfied and finally ceased attend- ing church. I could not accept the idea of God taught there, and at last my friends looked sadly upon me as 6 an atheist. There I stood until I learned to know God as revealed in Science and Health, and then all my questionings were answered. In my girlhood I had 9 always prayed to the God I held in mind, and when the shadows of sickness, pain, and death came to my family, I prayed as only those can who know that if 12 He helps not, there is none; but my prayers were unanswered. Then I closed my Bible, saying, "There is a mistake somewhere, perhaps some time I may 15 know." Only those who know the attitude of mind that I was in can understand the joy that came to me as I 18 began to learn of God in Christian Science, and of my relation to Him. Many proofs of the healing power of Truth and of 21 His protecting care throng my thoughts. Seven years ago, when we were in a far distant country, where Christian Science was then unknown, my little daughter 24 came in one morning from her school, saying, "Mother, I have measles; twenty of the girls are sick in bed and I am afraid they will put me there also." Her face, hands, 27 and chest were covered with a deep red rash, throat sore, and eyes inflamed. We began immediately to do our work in Science and at night, when I left her at the door of the 30 college, her face was clear, her eyes bright, and all fear destroyed. That was the end of the disease. — F. M. P., Boston, Mass. |

494 | 679 | S&H 18 | 0 | diseased stomach healed | Show all | I should like to express my gratitude for the many benefits I have received through Christian Science, and to mention the great joy brought to me in the thought that man is not the helpless victim of sin, disease, and death. Through its teachings I have been able to overcome many errors. When Christian Science found me, one year ago last April, in Chicago, I was suffering from catarrh of the stomach, which had been very persistent, and I had been a slave to the cigarette habit for eighteen years. Pain and weakness had robbed me of all that one holds dear. The first symptoms of the disease appeared about five years ago in the form of severe cramps of the stomach, which finally developed into other symptoms of that painful disease. I doctored continually, my diet daily becoming more rigid, until three slices of toast became my daily allowance of food. In this condition I left the East for my home in Chicago, hoping that a change of climate might benefit me. After spending six weeks there and finding no relief, I concluded to return East. The Sunday morning before leaving I picked up a Sunday paper, and glancing through the religious items my eyes fell on the notices of Christian Science church services. Curiosity led me to a service and I shall never forget that morning or the surprise and joy it gave me to find that beautiful church, and to know that so great a number actually believed that God does heal the sick today. This brought a first ray of hope. The evening service found me there again. Among the notices read was that of a reading room, giving the location and time of opening. Monday morning found me there promptly, and the first book I picked up was Science and Health which opened a new world to me. I had dieted so long and suffered so much that I had a morbid fear of food. When I had reached and read of "neither food nor the stomach, without the consent of mortal mind, can make one suffer" (Science and Health, p. 221), I left the reading room for something to eat. I found a bakery near by, and bought a bag of cakes which I ate, and shortly after I had a hearty dinner without the least complaint from my stomach. From that time until now I have eaten anything that I wished, and the craving for cigarettes, which I had for many years, has entirely vanished. The understanding of Truth, which entirely relieved the diseased stomach, healed also the morbid appetite for smoking. After coming back East, I bought a copy of Science and Health, which I have read daily, and find it a continual help in all the affairs of life. In my home and at work I find this Science a comfort and source of strength. I have had many difficulties in the way, but it has helped me out of them all. - W. E. B., New Britain, Conn. |

Ten years ago I was healed of hereditary deafness and 24 catarrh of the head, simply through reading the book, Science and Health. For years previous I had consulted and taken treatment from some of the best specialists 27 for the ear and throat, both in England and America, but grew worse all the time. I was then urged by a lady who had been healed through Christian Science to buy 30 this book and study it. I did so very reluctantly, but 1 had not read fifty pages before I felt I had indeed found the truth which makes free, and can truly say, from that 3 time I have never had a return of the ailment. That for which I am, however, most grateful, is the daily help it is to me in my household of young chil- 6 dren. I am sure if mothers only knew what Christian Science truly means they would give all they possess to know it. We have seen croup, measles, fever, and 9 various other children's complaints, so-called, disappear like dew before the morning sun, through the applica- tion of Christian Science, — the understanding of God 12 as ever-present and omnipotent. It has been proven to me without a doubt that God is a very present help in trouble, and what a blessed help this wonderful truth is 15 in the training of our children, and how quickly the child grasps it. Some time ago my little girl, then three years old, 18 dislocated her shoulder. I was alone in the house at the time. The pain was so intense that she became faint. I treated her the best I knew how, but kept 21 holding the thought that just as soon as some one came I would run for help. She seemed to grow worse and cried very much. I undressed her and tried to twist 24 the arm into place, but it caused such suffering that I began to get afraid. Then like a flash came the thought, What would you do if you were out of the reach of a prac- 27 titioner? Now is your time to prove God's power and presence. With these thoughts came such a sense of calm and trustfulness that I lost all fear. I then asked 30 the child if I should read to her; she said "Yes, mamma, read the truth-book." I began reading aloud to her from Science and Health. In about half an hour I noticed 1 she tried to lift the arm but screamed and became very pale. I continued to read aloud and again she made 3 an effort to put some candy into her mouth. This time I noticed with joy that she almost reached her mouth before she felt the pain. I kept reading aloud to her 6 until my sister and two boys came in, when she jumped off her bed, so delighted to see her brothers that she for- got her arm. She then began to tell her aunt that she 9 had broken her arm and mamma treated it with the truth- book. When this happened, it was about 10.30 A.M. and by 3 P.M. she was playing out doors as though 12 nothing had ever happened. — Mrs. M. G., Winnipeg, Man. |

496 | 642 | S&H 18 | 0 | diseases - many healed | Show all | 21 GRATEFUL FOR MANY BLESSINGS It is with sincere gratitude for the many blessings Chris- tian Science has brought me, that I give this testimony. 24 I first heard of Christian Science about fifteen years ago. A friend of mine was taking treatment for physical troubles, and was reading the textbook of Christian 27 Science, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures. The title of the book appealed to me very strongly. I said to my friend, "If that is a Key to the Scriptures, 30 I must have it." 1 I had long been a member of a Bible class in an or- thodox Sabbath school, but I never felt satisfied with 3 that which was taught; there was something lacking, I did not understand then what it was. I purchased a copy of Science and Health and began to study it. I 6 wish I could express in words what that book brought me. It illumined the Bible with a glorious light and I began to understand some of the Master's sayings, and 9 tried to apply them. I had had a longing to live a better Christian life for many years, and often wondered why I failed so utterly 12 to understand the Bible. Now I knew; it was lack of spiritual apprehension. I did not know at first that people were healed of dis- 15 ease and sin by simply reading Science and Health, but found after a while that such was the case. At that time I had many physical troubles, and one after 18 another of these ills simply disappeared and I found that I had no disease, — I was perfectly free. The spiritual uplifting was glorious, too, and as I go on in the 21 study of this blessed Science, I find I am gaining surely an understanding that helps me to overcome both sin and disease in myself and in others. My faith in good is in- 24 creased and I know I am losing my belief in evil as a power equal to good. The pathway is not wearisome, because each victory over self gives stronger faith and a more 27 earnest desire to press on. — E. J. R., Toledo, Ohio. |

497 | 694 | S&H 18 | 0 | diseases incurable healed | Show all | 21 AN EXPRESSION OF LOVING GRATITUDE In the spring of 1893, while studying for the minis- try, Science and Health was placed in my hands, and 24 the truth contained therein at once became to me the pearl of great price. I literally devoured the book, reading it about eighteen hours a day. Its originality 27 was startling, upsetting my preconceived opinions of God, man, and creation. Two sentences especially appealed to me: "The foundation of mortal discord is a 30 false sense of man's origin" (p. 262), and, "For right 1 reasoning, there should be but one fact before the thought, namely, spiritual existence" (p. 492). I had found the 3 keynote to the Science of being as taught in this marvel- lous book, and persevered until a glimpse of the new heav- ens and new earth came, for the old were passing away. 6 With this spiritual uplifting came also physical health. All my life had been spent in semi-invalidism, and I seemed destined to a life of suffering. In three 9 weeks after beginning Science and Health, to my joy- ful surprise I found myself a well man, sound physi- cally, and uplifted spiritually. Life was being lived 12 from a new basis, the old things of personal sense were passing away and all things becoming new. I learned that the infinite good is the one Friend upon 15 whom we can call at all times, an all-powerful, ever- present help in every time of trouble; that His children are really governed in peace and harmony by spiritual 18 law, and as the right understanding of it is gained, the other things soon follow, bringing a peace the human concept can never know. 21 For the last twelve years my whole time has been devoted to Christian Science practice, and I have seen nearly every so-called incurable disease healed by its 24 beneficent influence. God bless our dear Leader! She has set before us an open door, which no man can shut, and it is but a question of time when the world will know 27 her better and love her more. — E. E.

I thought I was a pretty good fellow. I had no religious views. I seemed to be getting along as well as, if not better than, some who professed Christianity. So I drifted along until I was led to investigate Christian Science. As I progressed in the understanding as gained from the study of both Science and Health and the Bible, and commenced to know myself, I found that a great change had been wrought in me. For fifteen years I had used tobacco, both chewing and smoking; for ten years I had been a victim of the drink habit, sometimes to excess; I was also addicted to profanity. Christian Science removed these appetites. A stomach trouble and other lesser ills, such as headache, a bad temper, an inordinate love of money, etc., disappeared under the same benign influence. Those things that seemed to be pleasure do not give me pleasure now. They were not real pleasure. I have lost nothing, I have sacrificed nothing; but I have gained everything, and not yet the whole, for I can see plenty yet to be done. The condition of mind before investigating and after is as different as black and white. As Mrs. Eddy says, "Not matter, but Mind, satisfieth. - G. B. P., Henry, S. D. |

While visiting friends in the southwestern part of On- 18 tario, about three years ago, my attention was called to Christian Science and the wonderful healing it was doing. I had lived in New York for twenty-five years, 21 but had never heard of Christian Science before, to my recollection. Up to that time, for seventeen years, I had suffered 24 with indigestion and gastritis in the worst form, often being overcome from a seeming pressure against the heart. I had asthma for four years, also had worn glasses for 27 four years. It seemed to me that I had swallowed every known medicine to relieve my indigestion, but they only gave me temporary benefit. I purchased a copy of Sci- 30 ence and Health, and simply from the reading of that 1 grand book I was completely healed of all my physical ailments in two weeks' time. I have used no medi- 3 cine from that day to this, and with God's help, and the wonderful light revealed to me through the reading of Mrs. Eddy's book, I never expect to again. I used 6 to smoke eight or ten cigars a day, and also took an occasional drink, but the desire for these has gone, — I feel forever. I travel on the road, and am constantly 9 being invited to indulge, but it is no effort to abstain, and in many instances I find that my refusal helps others. 12 While I fully appreciate the release from my physical troubles, this pales into insignificance in comparison with the spiritual uplifting Christian Science has brought me. 15 I had not been inside a church for more than ten years, to attend regular services, until I entered a Christian Science church. What I saw and realized there, seemed 18 so genuine that I loved Christian Science from the very start. I have never taken a treatment, — every inch of the way has been through study and practical demon- 21 stration, and I know that all can do the same thing if they will try. Since I have been in Science I have overcome a case of 24 ulcerated tooth in one night through the reading of Science and Health; also a severe attack of grip in thirty-six hours by obeying the Scripture saying, "Physician, heal thy- 27 self." — B.

523 | 643 | S&H 18 | 0 | drinking healed | Show all | GRATEFUL FOR MORAL AND SPIRITUAL AWAKENING About four years ago, after I had tried different ways 30 and means to be relieved from bodily suffering, a faith- 1 ful friend called my attention to the teaching of Chris- tian Science. After some opposition, I decided to in- 3 vestigate it, with the thought that if this teaching would be helpful, it was meant for me as well as for others; if it did not afford any help, I could put it aside again, but 6 that I would find out and be convinced. After I had read Mrs. Eddy's work, Science and Health, a few days, I found that my ailments had disappeared, 9 and a rest had come to me which I had never before known. I had smoked almost incessantly, although I had often determined to use my will power and never smoke again, 12 but had always failed. This desire as well as the de- sire for drink simply disappeared, and I wish to say here, that I received all these benefits before I had gained much 15 understanding of what I was reading. Like a prisoner, who had been in chains for years, I was suddenly set free. I did not then know how the chain had been removed, 18 but I had to acknowledge that it came through the reading of this book. I then felt an ardent desire to read more, and to know what this power was that had freed me 21 in a few days of that which I had been trying for years to shake off and had failed. It then became clear to me that this was the truth which Jesus Christ taught 24 and preached to free humanity almost two thousand years ago. It did not, however, occur to me to apply it in my business affairs; on the contrary, I first thought 27 that if I continued in my study I would have to retire from business. This did not happen, however, for I gradually found 30 that the little understanding of this wonderful teach- ing which I had acquired became a great help to me in my business. I became more friendly, more honest, 1 more loving to my fellow-men; and I also acquired better judgment and was able to do the right thing at the right 3 time. As a natural result my business improved. Be- fore I knew anything of Christian Science my business had often been a burden to me, fear and worry deprived 6 me of my rest. How different it is now! Through the study of the Bible, which now possesses unmeasurable treasures for me, and of our textbook, Science and Health, 9 and the other works of our Leader, I receive peace and confidence in God and that insight into character which is necessary for the correct management of any business. 12 — W.

524 | 693 | S&H 18 | 0 | drinking healed | Show all | I first heard of Christian Science four years ago. At that time drinking and smoking were my comforters. I had no other companionship. I had lived almost constantly from childhood in an evil atmosphere. Though I was far from being satisfied with my condition, I failed to see how to better it until I read Science and Health. I used occasionally to listen to a sermon, but sermons did not give me any more comfort than I derived from my pipe, hence I concluded that church-going could not satisfy me and I preferred drinking and smoking. When I began to read Science and Health, I saw it offered something substantial. After a few months' study all desire for drinking and smoking disappeared. I did not give them up; I made no sacrifices, I simply found something better. I might mention that I had smoked ever since I can remember. I used to smoke years before I left school, and, like most Englishmen, loved my pipe, and would almost prefer to miss a meal rather than to go without my smoke. I used to think it gave me comfort. During my four years' study of Christian Science I have not spent a cent for doctors or medicine, neither have I lost a day from my work on account of sickness, which compares wonderfully with the previous four years. I take a great interest and pleasure in reading the Bible and studying the lessons in the Quarterly. The Bible used to be a most mysterious book to me, but Science and Health makes it a most precious book, making its meaning clearer, plainer, and simpler. I take this opportunity to express my gratitude to Mrs. Eddy and to the friend who invited me to attend the service held in the Auditorium years ago. I also wish to acknowledge the benefit I have had from the Journal and the Sentinel. They have helped me wonderfully. If the value of Science and Health and these publications were measured as business men value things, by the results or benefits they bring, they certainly would be priceless to me. It would be impossible to measure their value, as I have got something from Science and Health that all the money in the world could not buy. - H. P. H., Chicago, Ill. |

I had what the doctors 21 diagnosed as muscular rheumatism, dropsy, and con- stipation of thirty years' standing. A dear friend whom I had known as an invalid had been healed by Christian 24 Science and advised me to read Science and Health. I did so, having a desire to know the truth. One of my troubles was that I could not sleep. I began reading the 27 Bible and the Christian Science textbook, and troubles of every kind disappeared before I had read Science and Health through. The thought came, What about the 30 old remedies? but truth prevailed, and I took all the 1 material remedies I had and threw them away. That was seven years ago, and I have not had any use for them 3 since. My husband was healed of the tobacco habit of fifty years' standing, also of kidney trouble, by read- ing Science and Health. I have not words to express 6 the gratitude I feel to-day for the many blessings that have come to our home. — Mrs. M. K. O., Seattle, Wash. |

There is no matter to have power to hurt man, for man is a spiritual being in a spiritual world, governed by God.

Every idea of God that comes to man reflects infinite joy and gives him infinite joy and happiness, "In thy pretenteilfulne.uofjoy" (Ps. 16: ll). Man is not a material being, subject to belief in material laws, for man is spiritual, untrammelled and free with the freedom of Spirit. Man, being God's consciousness by means of which God works, does glorious work, always benefiting his fellow man, grouping together God's ideas in perfect combinations, passing them on, and receiving instantly ideas in exchange, which give him joy and happiness. Man's work is to glorify God and enjoy Him for ever. (Then work for joy). |

531 | 88 | Rawson | 0 | Drug Habit | Show all | In working against drugs and drunkenness I have always been in the habit of realising that man cannot wish for such a beastly, filthy thing as drugs (or drink, as the case may be). The reason for this is that it is the way in which I worked for the first case of habitual drunkenness I ever had. Mental work is the result of experimental tuition and therefore ( have always kept this method of working as I have always found it effective. For the first 18 years I had only one case of drunkenness where the person was not instantaneously and permanently healed and then I had to give him two more treatments. One does not therefore like changing one's method of working. At the same time, to me, intellectually, it does not seem to be right. It is making too much of the drugs and drunkenness and the method which I set out hereunder is, I think, more scientific:- Man cannot possibly be a slave to any material thing such as drugs; thc!re are no material drugs, all God's ideas are spiritual, ministering to and benefiting man; man is divine and perfect, governed by God alone. Man has no desires, he has instantly everything he needs. A constant succession of perfect ideas unfolds to man, God's pure, perfect, divine and holy ideas, giving man joy and happiness.

Man is not in bondage to any physical desire, man is spiritual and divine. Man cannot be in bondage to any habit, for man is free as Spirit is free; man can only do what is right, for all his desires are the activity of God's will, the only will there is, the will of absolute good. There are no false appetites, for all is Spirit and the manifestation of Spirit. Man is not material, man is spiritual, wholly spiritual, belonging wholly to God. There is no craving, man's desires arc instantly fulfilled, he has instantly everything he needs, the only thing he needs is God's ideas which are always unfolding; all is holy satisfaction and peace. Man's food and drink are God's perfect ideas which continually unfold to man, giving him absolute peace and contentment. Desire and fulfilment are one, and man is abundantly satisfied with the fulness of Life; he is governed by the law of Spirit, which gives all purity and holiness. There is no power in matter to satisfy man, for man is spiritual; there is no matter, all is Spirit and the mani- festation of Spirit. There is no lack of control, man is controllt:d and governed by God, and by God alone. Man is spiritual and divine, and seeks and finds his inspiration in God. There is no aggressive mental suggestion, because the only thoughts are God's thoughts, pure, perfect and holy, satisfying man continually and giving peace and perfect bliss.

541 | 686 | S&H 18 | 0 | dyspepsia for 30 years healed | Show all | HEALED PHYSICALLY AND SPIRITUALLY I had been taking medicine continually for many 12 years. Finally I was taken suddenly ill and could not leave my room for about two months, then I went away for three months, thinking that I should come back 15 and be able to continue my work. I improved very much, but the fear of quick consumption was with my doctor and my family and friends, and I was warned about the 18 coming winter. Only too soon the fear manifested itself. I had worked just three weeks when all the pains and aches returned, and I had to go to bed as soon as I 21 got home, so there was no pleasure in living. My em- ployer advised me to see my physician, and said perhaps I should not work that winter. I then and there turned 24 to Christian Science. I could not afford to give up work and live away from home, neither did I want to depend on doctors and medicine any longer. I took the book 27 and read it on my way to work, and at noon I lay down on a couch instead of going out for luncheon and fell asleep. When I awoke I was a different person, all 30 pains and aches had gone, and I was free. I was so 1 happy I could hardly contain myself; to material sense it was wonderful. As I walked I kept saying, 3 "Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful," and tried to un- derstand "the scientific statement of being" by repeat- ing portions at a time, then pondering over them. I 6 read the book four times in succession, and every time I found more and more to aid in the under- standing. 9 This healing was in October, 1901, with no other help than Science and Health, and soon I was relieved of other chronic ailments. In February I was able to 12 put away eyeglasses, which I had worn ten years and a half for astigmatism. Oculists told me I would always have to wear them. A month later my father asked 15 me to help him, as he was suffering so much from con- stipation, dyspepsia, and neuralgia. He had been sub- sisting on bran, nearly starving himself until he was most 18 miserable, and his limbs seemed so cold that they were kept wrapped in blankets. I felt very humble as he asked me, and told him I would have a practitioner help 21 him, as I had never treated any one; but he would not consent to have any one but myself, and I finally told him I would try, but that he must not hold Science respon- 24 sible if he were not benefited, for my lack of understand- ing, and not Science, would be at fault. At my request he read Science and Health, ate whatever he wanted, 27 and used no medicine in any form. After two treat- ments I received word from him that he was healed of that bondage of thirty years' standing. In view of 30 all these signs which followed my acceptance of Chris- tian Science, I knew it must be true. — R. L. A., Chicago, Ill. |

542 | 608 | S&H 18 | 0 | dyspepsia healed | Show all | 9 VALVULAR HEART DISEASE HEALED Fourteen years ago my heart awoke to gratitude to God and the dear Leader at the same time. After a 12 patient and persistent effort of three months' duration, to procure a copy of Science and Health (during which time I had visited every bookstore, and many of the second- 15 hand bookstores in the city of St. Paul), and had failed to find it, I at last remembered that the stranger who told me I might be healed, had mentioned a name, and 18 McVicker's Theatre Building in Chicago as being in some way connected with the work. I sent there for information regarding a book called Health and Science, 21 and the return mail brought me the book, Science and Health, and in it I at once found sure promise of deliver- ance from valvular heart disease, with all the accompani- 24 ments, such as extreme nervousness, weakness, dyspepsia, and insomnia. I had suffered from these all my life, finding no permanent relief, even, in material remedies, 27 and no hope of cure at any time. Only those who have been held in such bondage and have been liberated by the same means, can know the eager joy of the first perusal 30 of that wonderful book. 1 Half a day's reading convinced me that I had found the way to holiness and health. I read on, thinking only 3 of the spiritual enlightenment, content to wait until I should be led to some person who would heal me; but old things had passed away, and all things had become 6 new. I was completely healed before I had met a Scien- tist, or one who knew anything about Christian Science, and before I had read a line of any other Christian Science 9 literature except one leaf of a tract; so it is absolutely certain that the healing was entirely impersonal, as was also the teaching, which enabled me to begin at once 12 demonstrating the power of Truth to destroy all forms of error. — E.

543 | 630 | S&H 18 | 0 | dyspepsia healed | Show all | DYSPEPSIA QUICKLY HEALED It has occurred to me that I have had ample time to 30 meditate on the many blessings which I have received 1 through Christian Science, as it is now more than six years since I was entirely healed of dyspepsia as well as 3 constipation in its worst form by the reading of Science and Health. So aggravated were the conditions that for three years or more I was unable to drink a glass of cold 6 water. Everything that I drank had to be hot, and my only means of relief from the bowel trouble was hot water injections, for a period of more than three years. 9 I can truthfully say that I was permanently, and I might say instantly, healed of those two ailments by reading Science and Health as before stated, and in fact I do not 12 think I had read more than thirty pages of this book when I ignored entirely the most rigid kind of diet. I ate and drank everything I wished without a single harmful effect 15 from that time to this date, and there has not been a drop of medicine in our home for more than six years, in a fam- ily of five. 18 I have also seen the power of Truth manifested in our home by having our youngest child relieved of the most excruciating pain, and changed to his most playful mood, 21 immediately upon notifying one of the faithful practi- tioners of this city. For all this I am endeavoring to be thankful to God and to our faithful Leader, Mrs. Eddy, 24 whose pure and undefiled life enabled her to discover this precious truth for the benefit of all mankind. — M.

544 | 634 | S&H 18 | 0 | dyspepsia healed | Show all | TRUTH MAKES FREE 15 As the son of a physician, a graduate in pharmacy, and an ex-druggist, I had a perfect contempt for what I thought Christian Science to be. About six and a half 18 years ago, however, having exhausted all material means at my command, — materia medica, electricity, gym- nastics, cycling, and so on, — and being in a hopeless 21 state, the study of Christian Science was taken up. I had been a sufferer from catarrh and sore throat for over thirty years, and in the last five were added several others, 24 including dyspepsia, and bronchitis, and a loss in flesh of sixty pounds. I was completely healed, and regained health, strength, and flesh through the spiritual under- 27 standing of Christian Science, the result of about six weeks' study. This good and perfect gift came to me through the careful and prayerful study of Christian 30 Science, as revealed to the world to-day through Science 1 and Health. The promise of Christ Jesus, "the truth shall make you free," was fulfilled, and the past six years 3 of health and harmony have been spent in striving to "hold fast that which is good." While most grateful for the physical healing, my grati- 6 tude for the mental and spiritual regeneration is beyond expression. When I learned that Jesus' mission of heal- ing sickness as well as sin did not end with his short stay 9 upon earth, but is practical in all ages, my joy was un- bounded. Having spent thousands in the old way, it seemed wonderful to be healed at such small cost as the 12 price of the "little book" and a few weeks' study. Every thought of prejudice immediately vanished before the proofs that Christian Science is indeed the elucidation 15 and practical application of Jesus' teachings, which are demonstrable truth, "The same yesterday, and to-day, and forever." — C.

Feeling that this was God's will, I did not ask to be healed, although I was constantly doctoring. I suffered with dys- 27 pepsia, congestion of the liver, and many other things, including weak eyesight. With all the medicine, and with different changes for rest, I never regained health, 30 and thought I never should, so I prayed for grace to bear my cross patiently for others' sake. One day, while 1 lying on my couch exhausted, which had become a fre- quent experience, the words came to me, "Whatsoever 3 ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive." I rose, knelt down and said, O God, make me well. I was telling a friend this and she kindly gave me a Senti- 6 nel. Imagine my joy when I saw the testimonies of heal- ing! I believed them, remembering our Lord's words, "Blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have be- 9 lieved." I obtained a copy of Science and Health and before a week had passed I realized that if God was my all I needed no glasses. My eyes were healed in a few 12 days, and since then I have never thought of glasses. I was also cured of dyspepsia, and nothing that I have eaten has hurt me since then. The belief in health laws 15 was next destroyed, by knowing that our heavenly Father did not make them, and from this has come the beautiful experience of the overcoming of fatigue. 18 For this alone I can never be thankful enough. True indeed are the words, "They shall run, and not be weary." This was more than a year ago, and I can say that not 21 once have I felt inclined to lie on the couch, nor have I had a headache, although I am doing more work than ever before. Fear has also been overcome in many ways. 24 — A. L., Chelmsford, England. |

546 | 688 | S&H 18 | 0 | dyspepsia healed | Show all | 24 HEALED AFTER MUCH SUFFERING A testimony given in the Journal led me to investi- gate Christian Science, and I hope in return to be the 27 means of leading some one else to see the beauty of this saving truth, and to learn to know God aright and man's relationship to Him. I know from experience 1 that it is prejudice and misapprehension of what Christian Science is, that keeps many from enjoying the blessings 3 it bestows. I had been taking patent medicines for several years, and had been to one of the best sanitariums in this country, 6 but was not healed, although I received some benefit, for which I shall always feel grateful, for I know the physi- cians did all they could for me. I sometimes thought 9 I had exhausted all remedies, but did not give up, for I felt there must be something to heal me if I could find it. 12 When in this state of mind Christian Science came to my notice, and after reading several Journals, I pur- chased a copy of Science and Health. I read for several 15 days at odd times. I commenced to improve, and in about a week I was healed of most of my ills, among which were dyspepsia and nervous debility. 18 Although I had heard about Christian Science before, I had never heard that the reading of the Christian Science textbook had ever effected the healing of anybody. 21 I commenced reading to find out what Christian Science was, but was surprised to find myself improving, and was soon assured that it was the theology of Science and 24 Health that healed me, just as it was the theology of Jesus that healed the sick. It has also proved to me that there can be no 27 Christian Science Church that does not heal the sick and sinful, for healing follows as the natural result of the teaching of Christian Science. The Bible has become 30 a new revelation to me, and I can read it much more understandingly by the light received through the reading of Science and Health. — A. F. M., Fairmont, Minn. |

555 | 673 | S&H 18 | 0 | eating disorder healed | Show all | AN EVER-PRESENT HELP FOUND 24 On the 23rd of March, 1900, I received from one of my daughters a copy of Science and Health on my seventy-first birthday. Although a constant reader of all kinds of papers 27 and books, I had never heard anything of Christian Sci- ence, except a short notice that spring in a San Francisco newspaper, from an orthodox clergyman, referring to the 30 Christian Science people in not very complimentary style. 1 In Mrs. Eddy's book I came across a great deal of thought that was not readily understood at the first read- 3 ing, but by continued and careful study, and a good deal of help from my knowledge of chemistry and natu- ral philosophy, I soon shook off the belief of sensation 6 in matter, — the so-called elementary substance. One afternoon I put the belt on my circular saw to cut blocks of firewood and also to split a small stick of frame tim- 9 ber. In doing this the stick closed and pinched the saw. I picked up a small wooden wedge and tried to drive it into the saw kerf, but a bit of ice let the stick on to the 12 back of the saw and instantly it flew, with heavy force, into my face, and bouncing off my left cheek fell about twenty feet off on the snow. The blood spattered on the 15 snow next the saw table, and on feeling with my hand there were two wounds, one on the lock of the jaw and another forward, as big as a dollar, on the cheek bone. 18 "Now," I thought to myself, "there is a case of surgery for you," and without further ceremony, I began to treat the case to the best of my knowledge, with the 21 result that the bleeding stopped almost instantly, and so did a thumping pain, which had commenced. I paid no more attention to the matter, but finished my 24 work, and then went to supper. When I washed my face, I felt a big lump on the jawbone where the block of wood struck, but after my usual reading I went to 27 bed and slept all night until near daylight, when a pain on the right side awoke me. On feeling with my hand there was another big lump on the right side, but I 30 treated it and went to sleep again. I never lost an hour from the hurt, although I found out that my jaw was broken. There is no scar, only a little red spot on 1 the cheek, and the lumps on the bone have long since disappeared. 3 In summing up the benefits I have received from the reading of Science and Health, I can but refer to a condition of sickness dating back to the war (1862), 6 when chronic and malignant diarrhoea came near making an end of my material existence. My hearing, also, was seriously impaired from the effect of cannon 9 firing at Shiloh, but it has come back to me, and where I formerly dared not eat an orange, or grapes, I can now eat anything without being hurt. My peace of mind 12 is giving me a rest which I never experienced before during my life, and I have ceased to look away off for the divine presence that was always near, though I did 15 not know it. — L.

Words cannot express my gratitude for benefits I have received in that time. For five 18 years I suffered with that dreaded disease, eczema, all over my body. Five doctors said there was no help for me. The suffering seemed as terrible as the hell 21 fire that I had been taught to believe in. When Christian Science came to me two years ago through a dear friend, she gave me a copy of Science and Health and asked 24 me to read it. I told her that I would, for I was like a drowning man grasping at a straw. I had been a Bible student for twenty-eight years, but when I commenced 27 reading Science and Health with the Bible I was healed in less than a week. I never had a treatment. A case of measles was also destroyed in twenty-four hours after 30 it appeared. — Mrs. M. B. G., Vermilion, Ohio. |

564 | 667 | S&H 18 | 0 | egotism healed | Show all | BORN AGAIN It was in April, 1904, that I first heard the "still, 21 small voice" of the Christ and received healing through Christian Science; and the blessings have been so many since, that it would take too much space to 24 name them. Reared from childhood in an intellectual atmosphere, my paternal grandfather having been an orthodox minister of the old school for forty years, 27 and my father a deep student, ever seeking for the truth of all things, I began early to ponder and to study into the meaning of life, and came to the con- 30 clusion before I was twenty that though God probably 1 existed in some remote place, still it was impossible to connect Him with my present living. My highest 3 creed, therefore, became, "Do right because it is right and not for fear of being punished." Then began the suffering. Sorrow after sorrow followed each other 6 in rapid succession; for ten long years there was no rest, the road was indeed long and hard and had no turning, until finally the one thing that had stood by 9 me all through the trials, namely, my health, gave way, and with that went my last hope. But the last hour of the night had come, the dawn of day was at 12 hand; a dear friend left Science and Health upon my piano one day, saying that I would gain much good by reading it. 15 Glad to get away from my own poor thoughts, I opened the "little book" and began to read. I had read only a short time when such a wonderful trans- 18 formation took place! I was renewed; born again. Mere words cannot tell the story of the mighty up- lifting that carried me to the very gates of heaven. 21 When I began to read the book, life was a burden, but before I had finished reading it the first time, I was doing all my housework and doing it easily; and since that 24 glorious day I have been a well woman. My health is splendid, and I am striving to let my light so shine that others may be led to the truth. There have been 27 some mighty struggles with error, and I have learned that we cannot reach heaven with one long stride or easily drift inside the gate, but that the "asking" and 30 the "seeking" and the "knocking" must be earnest and persistent. For a long time I was always looking back to see if 1 the error had gone, until one day when I realized that to catch a glimpse of what spiritual sense means 3 I must put corporeal sense behind me. I then set to work in earnest to find the true way. I opened Science and Health and these words were before me, 6 "If God were understood, instead of being merely be- lieved, this understanding would establish health" (p. 203). I saw that I must get the right understanding of God! 9 I closed the book and with head bowed in prayer I waited with longing intensity for some answer. How long I waited I do not know, but suddenly, like a won- 12 derful burst of sunlight after a storm, came clearly this thought, "Be still, and know that I am God." I held my breath — deep into my hungering thought 15 sank the infinite meaning of that "I." All self- conceit, egotism, selfishness, everything that constitutes the mortal "I," sank abashed out of sight. I trod, as 18 it were, on holy ground. Words are inadequate to con- vey the fulness of that spiritual uplifting, but others who have had similar experiences will understand. 21 From that hour I have had an intelligent consciousness of the ever-presence of an infinite God who is only good. — C. B. G., Hudson, Mass. |

I was greatly emaciated and hardly able to be about. 9 My general condition was aggravated by what the doc- tors said was paralysis of the bowels. Three physi- cians so diagnosed it at different times, and assured 12 my husband that I could never get more than tem- porary relief. This indeed I found difficult to obtain, in spite of my almost frantic efforts. At times I was 15 nearly insane from suffering, and after eight years of doctoring I found myself steadily growing worse. For four years I did not have a normal action of the bowels, 18 and it was only by extreme effort and by resort to pow- erful drugs or mechanical means, with resultant suffering, that any action whatever could be brought about. 21 I had heard nothing of the curative power of Chris- tian Science, and only to oblige a friend I went one night, about three years ago, to one of their mid-week 24 testimonial meetings, in Boulder, Colorado. I was much impressed by what I heard there, and determined at once to investigate this strange religion, in the hope that it 27 might have something good for me. I bought the text- book, Science and Health, and from the first I found myself growing stronger and better, both physically and 30 mentally, as I acquired a better understanding and en- deavored to put into practice what I learned. In one week 1 I was able to get along better without drugs than I had for years with them, and before three months had passed I 3 was better than I had been any time in my life, for I had always suffered more or less from bowel trouble. Since that time I have taken no medicine whatever, and 6 rely wholly upon Christian Science. My lungs are now sound, my bowels normally active, my general health excellent, and I am able to endure without fatigue 9 tasks that before would have prostrated me. The study of our textbook was the sole means of my healing. — L. M. St. C., Matachin, Canal Zone, Panama. |

From the darkness of physical pain and weariness into 24 the light of wholeness and joyousness in work and living, — from the darkness of a clouded sight into the light of clearer vision, — from the darkness of doubt 27 and discord into the marvellous light of the reality of good, — this is what a reading of the Christian Science textbook has done for me. 30 At the time the book was lent to me, I was teach- 1 ing in the public schools of Chicago, and absences from my work on account of illness were of frequent occurrence. 3 For five weeks I had been under the care of a specialist for an organic trouble, and he said I would have to come as many more months before a cure could be effected. 6 At this time, Science and Health was brought to my notice. I never thought of such a thing as being healed by the reading of the book, but my thought was so changed 9 that I was healed, not only of the organic trouble, but of blurred eyesight, fatigue, and a train of other discordant manifestations. I did not go back to the physician 12 until four months later to pay my bill (which, by the way, was more than five times the price of the Science and Health I had purchased). From the time I read 15 the book I taught steadily without losing time from my work.

There are no medical laws regulating health or disease, there is only the law of God and man forever obeys that law; it is the law of his being, the law of eternal health and holiness. There arc no fits, for the control of God over all things is unceasing and uninterrupted, and His control means absolute order and ~bsolute peace. Thqe ~re no me~ningless movements, every movement is a movement of divine Mind, having its divine purpose and divine effect. Man is never unconscious, man is God's consciousness; that consciousness is never lost. for the only consciousness is God's con- sciousness, eternally, pe~cefully at work.

After reading a few pages, I be- came very much impressed with the truth therein stated, 3 and although I was surrounded with opposition, I knew that “underneath are the everlasting arms.” Since that time —- past the middle of the year 1899 —- I have kept 6 pressing on, until I have been healed by reading Science and Health. At times I was beset by what seemed un- conquerable opposition, until the first week in October, 9 1904, when, upon going to my home in Darien for a visit, I was given my liberty, and I’m now earning my living in this city. After having been subject to epileptic at- 12 tacks since 1892, and at one time pronounced dying by the doctor in charge, I am now well. I have had no fit, or symptoms of any, since the first week in May, 15 1904. I trust that this testimony to the healing power of Truth, realized by reading Science and Health (for I had no treat- 18 ment), may reach the eye of some to whom the battle seems long, and inspire them with fresh courage and a realization of the worth of the victory. I am filled with 21 inexpressible gratitude and love to God, and to Mrs. Eddy. —- Mrs. B. B. C., Stamford, Conn. |

I had never been a strong girl; had always been subject to colds and chills, and suffered all my 21 life from a delicate throat. Seven years ago I had a very severe attack of rheumatic fever and subsequently two less severe ones. These left all sorts of evils be- 24 hind them, — debility, chronic constipation, and several others, so that with these ills my life was often a burden to me and I used to think I never should re- 27 ceive relief or health. I had also lost all love for God and faith in Him. I could not accept a God who, as I then believed, visited sickness and sorrow upon 30 His children as a means for drawing them to Him. 1 I was in this state of mind and body when Christian Science found me. A dear friend, seeing my suffering, 3 presented the truth to me, and though at first I did not believe that there could be healing for me, the Chris- tian Scientists' God seemed to be the one I had been 6 looking for all my life. I began to read Science and Health, and shall never forget my joy at finding that I could love and trust God. I took to studying the 9 Bible, and read nothing but Science and Health and other Christian Science literature for a year. After studying the "little book" for about six weeks, I one 12 day realized that I was a well woman, that I had taken no medicine for three weeks, and that my body was perfectly harmonious. The reading of Science and 15 Health had healed me. The wonderful joy and spirit- ual uplifting which came to me then no words of mine can describe. I had also suffered from astigmatism 18 and had for several years been obliged to use special glasses when reading or working, and could never use my eyes for more than half an hour; but from the first 21 reading of Science and Health I found that I could read in any light and for any length of time without the slight- est discomfort. I am not only grateful for the physi- 24 cal healing but for the mental regeneration. I rejoice that I am now able to help others who are sick and sor- rowing. — E. E.

607 | 662 | S&H 18 | 0 | eyeglass need healed | Show all | 9 HEALED BY READING THE TEXTBOOK After doctoring about a year, I was obliged to give up school and was under medical care for two years; 12 but grew worse instead of better. I was then taken to specialists, who pronounced my case incurable, saying I was in the last stages of kidney disease and could 15 live only a short time. Shortly afterward my uncle gave me a copy of "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," and asked me to study it. After study- 18 ing a short time I was able to walk a distance of several miles, which I had not been able to do for three years. I also laid aside glasses which I had worn seven years, 21 having been told I would become blind if my eyes did not receive proper care. It is over a year since I re- ceived God's blessing, and I am now enjoying perfect 24 health and happiness. I have never had my glasses on since I first began reading Science and Health, and I have not used any medicine. — L. R., Spring Valley, Minn. |

This was about ten years ago and was the first I had ever heard of Christian Science. We soon got a copy 30 of Science and Health and I began in the right way to 1 see if Christian Science were the truth. I had no thought of studying it for bodily healing; in fact, I did not think 3 I needed it for that, but my soul cried out for something I had not yet found. This book was indeed a key to the Scriptures. 6 It was not long after I began reading before I dis- covered that my eyes were good and strong, I could read as much as I wished, and at any time, which was 9 something I could not do before, as my eyes had always been weak. The doctors said they never would be very strong, and that if I did not wear glasses, I might lose 12 my sight altogether. I never gave up to wearing glasses, and now, thanks to Christian Science, I do not need them, my work for the past two years as a railway mail clerk 15 being a good test. At the same time my eyes were healed, I also noticed that I was entirely healed of another ail- ment which had been with me all my life, and which was 18 believed to be inherited. Since that time my growth has seemed to me slow, yet when I look back and view myself as I was before Christian Science found me, and 21 compare it with my life as it now is, I can only close my eyes to the picture and rejoice that I have been "born again" and that I have daily been putting off "the 24 old man with his deeds," and putting on "the new man." Some of the many things that have been overcome 27 through the study of Science and Health, and through realizing and practising the truth it teaches, are pro- fanity, the use of tobacco, a very quick temper, which 30 made both myself and those around me at times very miserable, and such thoughts as malice, revenge, etc. — O.

609 | 686 | S&H 18 | 0 | eyeglasses needed for 10 years healed | Show all | HEALED PHYSICALLY AND SPIRITUALLY I had been taking medicine continually for many 12 years. Finally I was taken suddenly ill and could not leave my room for about two months, then I went away for three months, thinking that I should come back 15 and be able to continue my work. I improved very much, but the fear of quick consumption was with my doctor and my family and friends, and I was warned about the 18 coming winter. Only too soon the fear manifested itself. I had worked just three weeks when all the pains and aches returned, and I had to go to bed as soon as I 21 got home, so there was no pleasure in living. My em- ployer advised me to see my physician, and said perhaps I should not work that winter. I then and there turned 24 to Christian Science. I could not afford to give up work and live away from home, neither did I want to depend on doctors and medicine any longer. I took the book 27 and read it on my way to work, and at noon I lay down on a couch instead of going out for luncheon and fell asleep. When I awoke I was a different person, all 30 pains and aches had gone, and I was free. I was so 1 happy I could hardly contain myself; to material sense it was wonderful. As I walked I kept saying, 3 "Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful," and tried to un- derstand "the scientific statement of being" by repeat- ing portions at a time, then pondering over them. I 6 read the book four times in succession, and every time I found more and more to aid in the under- standing. 9 This healing was in October, 1901, with no other help than Science and Health, and soon I was relieved of other chronic ailments. In February I was able to 12 put away eyeglasses, which I had worn ten years and a half for astigmatism. Oculists told me I would always have to wear them. A month later my father asked 15 me to help him, as he was suffering so much from con- stipation, dyspepsia, and neuralgia. He had been sub- sisting on bran, nearly starving himself until he was most 18 miserable, and his limbs seemed so cold that they were kept wrapped in blankets. I felt very humble as he asked me, and told him I would have a practitioner help 21 him, as I had never treated any one; but he would not consent to have any one but myself, and I finally told him I would try, but that he must not hold Science respon- 24 sible if he were not benefited, for my lack of understand- ing, and not Science, would be at fault. At my request he read Science and Health, ate whatever he wanted, 27 and used no medicine in any form. After two treat- ments I received word from him that he was healed of that bondage of thirty years' standing. In view of 30 all these signs which followed my acceptance of Chris- tian Science, I knew it must be true. — R. L. A., Chicago, Ill. |

610 | 666 | S&H 18 | 0 | eyeglasses needed healed | Show all | 1 SCIENCE AND HEALTH A PRICELESS BOON I am a willing witness to the healing power of Chris- 3 tian Science, having had a lifetime's battle with dis- ease and medical experiments. Various doctors finally admitted that they had exhausted their resources, and 6 could only offer me palliatives, saying that a cure was impossible. I had paralysis of the bowels, frequent sick headaches with unutterable agony, and my mortal 9 career was nearly brought to an end by a malignant type of yellow fever. Many were the attending evils of this physical inharmony, but God confounds the wis- 12 dom of men, for while studying Science and Health two years ago, the veil of ignorance was lifted and perfect health was shown to me to be my real con- 15 dition, and to such there is no relapse. The constant use of glasses, which were apparently a necessity to me for years, was proven needless, and they were laid 18 aside. Mrs. Eddy has made Scripture reading a never- failing well of comfort to me. By her interpretation "the way of the Lord" is made straight to me and 21 mine. It aids us in our daily overcoming of the tyr- anny of the flesh and its rebellion against the blessed leading of Christ, Truth. The daily study of the Bible 24 and our textbook is bringing more and more into our con- sciousness the power of God unto salvation. — J. C., Manatee, Fla. |

I was reared by 24 kind and loving Christian parents and was a member of an orthodox church for over twenty years, but I was never satisfied. I was filled with fear and bound down 27 by the false gods of this world, — sin, disease, and pov- erty; consequently every way I turned, and in everything I attempted to do, I was met with disappointment and 30 failure; but God was leading me into a different life. 1 My interest was first awakened to Christian Science about thirteen years ago, and I have been a willing dis- 3 ciple ever since. Through the reading of Science and Health I was healed of chronic catarrh and laryngitis, and it also enabled me to lay off my glasses. Christian 6 Science has not only helped me mentally, morally, and physically, but the greatest blessing of all is the spirit- ual uplifting which enabled me to know that God is both 9 able and willing to care for His children, if we are but willing to do our part and bear the cross which, though it seems heavy at times, always brings a sure reward. 12 Christian Science has not only helped me, but it has enabled me to help others. The Bible is a new book to me. I now see what 15 Jesus meant when he said, "Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest." My heart goes out in gratitude to Mrs. Eddy for the 18 work she has done and is still doing for the world, and to God I am most grateful that He has guided me into the truth, that I may have life, and have it more abundantly. 21 — Mrs. M.

612 | 677 | S&H 18 | 0 | eyeglasses needed overcome | Show all | 21 A VOICE FROM ENGLAND For a number of years I was a weary woman, not ill enough in health to be called an invalid, but suffering 24 more than could be told with fatigue and weakness. Feeling that this was God's will, I did not ask to be healed, although I was constantly doctoring. I suffered with dys- 27 pepsia, congestion of the liver, and many other things, including weak eyesight. With all the medicine, and with different changes for rest, I never regained health, 30 and thought I never should, so I prayed for grace to bear my cross patiently for others' sake. One day, while 1 lying on my couch exhausted, which had become a fre- quent experience, the words came to me, "Whatsoever 3 ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive." I rose, knelt down and said, O God, make me well. I was telling a friend this and she kindly gave me a Senti- 6 nel. Imagine my joy when I saw the testimonies of heal- ing! I believed them, remembering our Lord's words, "Blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have be- 9 lieved." I obtained a copy of Science and Health and before a week had passed I realized that if God was my all I needed no glasses. My eyes were healed in a few 12 days, and since then I have never thought of glasses. I was also cured of dyspepsia, and nothing that I have eaten has hurt me since then. The belief in health laws 15 was next destroyed, by knowing that our heavenly Father did not make them, and from this has come the beautiful experience of the overcoming of fatigue. 18 For this alone I can never be thankful enough. True indeed are the words, "They shall run, and not be weary." This was more than a year ago, and I can say that not 21 once have I felt inclined to lie on the couch, nor have I had a headache, although I am doing more work than ever before. Fear has also been overcome in many ways. 24 — A. L., Chelmsford, England. |

In case of cataract this lens becomes opaque and the sight correspondingly dim. There is no cataract, for the lens of man’s eye is spiritual, perfect, divine, pure and holy ; none of God’s ideas can become opaque, for they reflect the absolute purity of infinite Spirit, the Principle of all purity and holiness. Nothing exists which can ever prevent man from discerning God’s ideas, for man has infinite capacity to discern the ideas of God. (Work against matter, which is the principal point to be taken up). |

During 18 this time I had three good doctors treating me. I gained a little in strength, but had very little relief from the stomach trouble. I was recommended to try mineral 21 springs and did so, but with the same disappointment. I went to a sanitarium, but yet the stomach trouble pre- vailed. I had some friends who recommended patent 24 medicines, but no healing came. I worried along in this way for several years. Finally I read medicine nearly two years with a good doctor 27 friend, especially for my own benefit, and during this time I had a severe attack of bladder trouble, and for fifteen years I suffered so severely at times that I thought 30 life was not really worth living. In connection with these 1 troubles I suffered every winter with rheumatism and the grip. I also had a growth coming on both eyes called 3 cataract, which caused my eyes to be inflamed nearly all the time, and this growth had made such progress that it was causing my vision to be very dim when read- 6 ing. Corns were not forgotten, as I was reminded of them very frequently, and for all these troubles I had tried every remedy I heard of that I was able to get, specialists 9 included, without relief. Thanks to a friend who took me in this hopeless, dis- couraged condition and led me to the light that never 12 knows darkness, I got a copy of Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy and was healed in a short time by reading this work. — D.

In this and the following complaints, unless glasses are used, there may be a feeling of straining the sight, and even pain in the eyes. There is no short sight, man’s sight is spiritual and perfect; man has perfect capacity to discern the ideas of God, the Christ capacity ; when man sees, God sees ; God sees by means of man. In some cases of short sight—for instance, in cases of old age—the trouble is due to the weakening of the muscles, resulting in the eyeball flattening, affecting the curve of the lens. It is to counteract this wrong condition that another Jens is put in front in the form of glasses, In other cases there is a hardening of the eyeball. There are no flattened eyeballs, man’s eyeballs are spiritual and perfect, working perfectly and divinely. There are no weakened muscles, man’s muscles arc God’s thought forces having all power and strength. There is no hardening of the eyeballs, man’s eyeballs are spiritual, perfect, pure and holy. |

I was a very unhappy, discontented woman; I 21 had kidney disease, besides sore eyes, and my general health was very bad. The doctor said that the climate did not suit me, and that I certainly should have a change. 24 The best thing, he said, was to go back to France (my own country); but I did not like to leave the school, so I struggled on until July, when we went travelling for a 27 month, but I came home worse than ever. I had a lot of worry, one disappointment after another, and I often thought that life was not worth living. In September, 30 1904, we heard for the first time of Christian Science 1 through a girl who was attending our boarding-school, and who was healed through Christian Science treatment. 3 We bought the textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mrs. Eddy, and what a revelation it was and is to us; it is indeed the fountain of Truth. I 6 had read Science and Health but a very short time when I took off my glasses, began to sleep well, and soon found myself well in mind and body. Besides this, it has brought 9 harmony into our school, where there had been discord, and everything is changed for the better. I cannot de- scribe the happiness that has come to me through Chris- 12 tian Science; I can only exclaim with the psalmist: "Bless the Lord, O my soul;" and may God bless Mrs. Eddy. My one aim now is to live Christian Science, not in words 15 only, but in deeds; loving God more and my neighbor as myself, and following meekly and obediently all our Leader's teachings. Words cannot express my gratitude 18 to Mrs. Eddy for Christian Science. — S. A. K., Van- couver, B. C. |

I was healed through simply reading this wonderful book, Science and Health. I had been troubled periodically 12 for many years with sore eyes, and had been to many doctors, who called the disease iritis and cataract. They told me that my eyes would always give me trouble, and 15 that I would eventually lose my sight if I remained in an office, and advised me to go under an operation. Later on I had to wear glasses at my work, also out of doors 18 as I could not bear the winds, and my eyes were gradually becoming worse. I could not read for longer than a few minutes at a time, otherwise they would smart severely. 21 I had to rest my eyes each evening to enable me to use them the next day; in fact gas-light was getting unbearable because of the pain, and I made home miserable. A 24 dear brother told me about Christian Science, and said that if I would read Science and Health it would help me. He procured for me the loan of the book. The 27 first night I read it, it so interested me I quite forgot all about my eyes until my wife remarked that it was eleven o'clock. I found that I had been reading this 30 book for nearly four hours, and I remarked immediately after, "I believe my eyes are cured," which was really 1 the case. The next day, on looking at my eyes, my wife noticed that the cataract had disappeared. I put away 3 my outdoor glasses, which I have not required since, and through the understanding gained by studying Christian Science I have been able to do away with my indoor 6 glasses also, and have had no return of pain in my eyes since. This is now a year and a half ago. — G. F. S., Liverpool, England. |

My eyes were very bad, so that I sat in a darkened room for weeks to- gether, most of the time in bed under opiates. The home 27 doctor and a specialist said the disease of the eyes could not be cured, though they might help me for a while. I had one operation, and the doctor said if I took cold I would 30 become totally blind. My suffering was beyond telling. 1 A clergyman called almost every day, and sat by my bed and wept, and my good, kind doctor shed tears many times. 3 Finally, after a year of this terrible suffering, I was sent to Indiana, to a sister who had been healed of lung trouble by Christian Science. The first day I was there she read 6 to me from the Bible and from "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mrs. Eddy, and I was healed. I knew that God was no respecter of persons, and when I 9 saw what had been done for my sister, who was changed from being a mere frame to a strong, robust, healthy, rosy- cheeked woman, the cough all gone, I said, "God has as 12 much for me, if I will accept it." I was healed instan- taneously by Christian Science, and am thankful to God for giving us this understanding through Mrs. Eddy, 15 our beloved Leader. I am now in perfect health. — Mrs. F.

As I read other testimonies and rejoice in them, some one may rejoice in mine. I was healed by reading Science and 18 Health. By applying it, I found it to be the truth that Jesus taught, — the truth that sets free. From childhood I had never known a well day. I 21 was healed of lung trouble of long standing. Con- sumption was hereditary in our family, my mother and three brothers having passed on with it. The law of 24 materia medica said that in a short time I must fol- low them. I also had severe stomach trouble of over eight years' standing, during which time I always re- 27 tired without supper, as the fear of suffering from my food was so great that I denied myself food when hun- gry. For over twenty years I had ovarian trouble, 30 which was almost unbearable at times. It dated from 1 the birth of my first child, and at one time necessitated an operation. I suffered with about all the ills that 3 flesh is heir to: I had trouble with my eyes from a child; wore glasses for fourteen years, several oculists saying I would go blind, one declaring I would be blind in less 6 than a year if I did not submit to an operation, which I refused to do. But thanks be to God whose Truth reached me through 9 the study of our textbook. Words fail to express what Christian Science has done for me in various ways, for my children, my home, my all. The physical healing 12 is but a small part; the spiritual unfolding and uplifting is the "pearl of great price," the half that has never been told. — Mrs. J. P. M., Kansas City, Mo. |

It is a little over a year since 6 Science found me in a deplorable condition, physically as well as mentally. I had ailments of many years' standing, — chronic stomach trouble, severe eye trouble, 9 made almost unbearable from the constant fear of losing my sight (a fate which had befallen my mother), also a painful rupture of twenty-five years' 12 standing. These ailments, combined with unhappy conditions in my home, made me very despondent. I had entirely lost my belief in an all-merciful God, and 15 I did not know where to turn for help. At that time Christian Science was brought to my notice, and I shall never forget the sublime moment when I perceived that 18 an all-loving Father is always with me. Forgotten was all sorrow and worry, and after four weeks' reading in Science and Health all my ailments had disappeared. 21 I am to-day a healthy, contented woman. All this has come to pass in one short year, and my earnest desire is to be more and more worthy to be 24 called a child of God. This is in loving gratitude for an understanding of this glorious truth. — Mrs. R. J., Chicago, Ill. |

For these I had been treated by some of the best specialists in my native land, and after coming to the United States I had been doctored 6 much and had worn glasses for four years. I also had catarrh, for which I had taken much medicine without being relieved. In addition to this I was an excessive 9 smoker, using tobacco in some form almost constantly. I had contracted a smoker's heart, and used liquors freely. 12 The one who brought to me that which I now prize so highly, was a book agent. I told him that I should be forced to leave my trade on account of my eyes. 15 He then told me of having been healed of a cancer, through Christian Science treatment. He showed me a copy of Science and Health, which had the signs of 18 much use, and after being assured that if I did my part I would be healed of all my diseases, I sent for a copy of the book. 21 My recovery was very rapid, for after reading the book only three weeks I was completely healed of the tobacco habit. I will say, in regard to this healing, 24 that it did not require even as much as a resolution on my part. I was smoking a cigar, while reading Science and Health, when all the desire to continue 27 smoking left me, and I have never had a desire to use tobacco in any form since then. My eyes were the next to manifest the influence of the new knowledge 30 gained, and had soon so far recovered that I could go about my work with ease, and I have had no more use for glasses. To-day my heart is normal, the catarrh 1 has totally disappeared, and I am not addicted to the use of liquor. 3 Christian Science has proved to be an ever-present help, not only in overcoming physical ailments, but in business and daily life. It has also overcome a great 6 sense of fear. The Bible, which I regarded with suspicion, has become my guide, and Christianity has become a sweet reality, because the Christian Science 9 textbook has indeed been a "Key to the Scriptures" and has breathed through the Gospel pages a sweet sense of harmony. — A. F., Sioux City, Iowa. |

Various doctors finally admitted that they had exhausted their resources, and 6 could only offer me palliatives, saying that a cure was impossible. I had paralysis of the bowels, frequent sick headaches with unutterable agony, and my mortal 9 career was nearly brought to an end by a malignant type of yellow fever. Many were the attending evils of this physical inharmony, but God confounds the wis- 12 dom of men, for while studying Science and Health two years ago, the veil of ignorance was lifted and perfect health was shown to me to be my real con- 15 dition, and to such there is no relapse. The constant use of glasses, which were apparently a necessity to me for years, was proven needless, and they were laid 18 aside. Mrs. Eddy has made Scripture reading a never- failing well of comfort to me. By her interpretation "the way of the Lord" is made straight to me and 21 mine. It aids us in our daily overcoming of the tyr- anny of the flesh and its rebellion against the blessed leading of Christ, Truth. The daily study of the Bible 24 and our textbook is bringing more and more into our con- sciousness the power of God unto salvation. — J. C., Manatee, Fla. |

634 | 670 | S&H 18 | 0 | eyes healed | Show all | MORALLY AND PHYSICALLY HEALED 21 I did not accept Christian Science on account of any healing of my own, but after seeing my mother, who was fast drifting toward helplessness with rheumatism, restored 24 to perfect health with only a few treatments in Christian Science, I thought surely this must be the truth as Jesus taught and practised it, and if so it was what I had been 27 longing for. This was about ten years ago and was the first I had ever heard of Christian Science. We soon got a copy 30 of Science and Health and I began in the right way to 1 see if Christian Science were the truth. I had no thought of studying it for bodily healing; in fact, I did not think 3 I needed it for that, but my soul cried out for something I had not yet found. This book was indeed a key to the Scriptures. 6 It was not long after I began reading before I dis- covered that my eyes were good and strong, I could read as much as I wished, and at any time, which was 9 something I could not do before, as my eyes had always been weak. The doctors said they never would be very strong, and that if I did not wear glasses, I might lose 12 my sight altogether. I never gave up to wearing glasses, and now, thanks to Christian Science, I do not need them, my work for the past two years as a railway mail clerk 15 being a good test. At the same time my eyes were healed, I also noticed that I was entirely healed of another ail- ment which had been with me all my life, and which was 18 believed to be inherited. Since that time my growth has seemed to me slow, yet when I look back and view myself as I was before Christian Science found me, and 21 compare it with my life as it now is, I can only close my eyes to the picture and rejoice that I have been "born again" and that I have daily been putting off "the 24 old man with his deeds," and putting on "the new man." Some of the many things that have been overcome 27 through the study of Science and Health, and through realizing and practising the truth it teaches, are pro- fanity, the use of tobacco, a very quick temper, which 30 made both myself and those around me at times very miserable, and such thoughts as malice, revenge, etc. — O.

635 | 677 | S&H 18 | 0 | eyes healed | Show all | 21 A VOICE FROM ENGLAND For a number of years I was a weary woman, not ill enough in health to be called an invalid, but suffering 24 more than could be told with fatigue and weakness. Feeling that this was God's will, I did not ask to be healed, although I was constantly doctoring. I suffered with dys- 27 pepsia, congestion of the liver, and many other things, including weak eyesight. With all the medicine, and with different changes for rest, I never regained health, 30 and thought I never should, so I prayed for grace to bear my cross patiently for others' sake. One day, while 1 lying on my couch exhausted, which had become a fre- quent experience, the words came to me, "Whatsoever 3 ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive." I rose, knelt down and said, O God, make me well. I was telling a friend this and she kindly gave me a Senti- 6 nel. Imagine my joy when I saw the testimonies of heal- ing! I believed them, remembering our Lord's words, "Blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have be- 9 lieved." I obtained a copy of Science and Health and before a week had passed I realized that if God was my all I needed no glasses. My eyes were healed in a few 12 days, and since then I have never thought of glasses. I was also cured of dyspepsia, and nothing that I have eaten has hurt me since then. The belief in health laws 15 was next destroyed, by knowing that our heavenly Father did not make them, and from this has come the beautiful experience of the overcoming of fatigue. 18 For this alone I can never be thankful enough. True indeed are the words, "They shall run, and not be weary." This was more than a year ago, and I can say that not 21 once have I felt inclined to lie on the couch, nor have I had a headache, although I am doing more work than ever before. Fear has also been overcome in many ways. 24 — A. L., Chelmsford, England. |

I was healed through simply reading this wonderful book, Science and Health. I had been troubled periodically 12 for many years with sore eyes, and had been to many doctors, who called the disease iritis and cataract. They told me that my eyes would always give me trouble, and 15 that I would eventually lose my sight if I remained in an office, and advised me to go under an operation. Later on I had to wear glasses at my work, also out of doors 18 as I could not bear the winds, and my eyes were gradually becoming worse. I could not read for longer than a few minutes at a time, otherwise they would smart severely. 21 I had to rest my eyes each evening to enable me to use them the next day; in fact gas-light was getting unbearable because of the pain, and I made home miserable. A 24 dear brother told me about Christian Science, and said that if I would read Science and Health it would help me. He procured for me the loan of the book. The 27 first night I read it, it so interested me I quite forgot all about my eyes until my wife remarked that it was eleven o'clock. I found that I had been reading this 30 book for nearly four hours, and I remarked immediately after, "I believe my eyes are cured," which was really 1 the case. The next day, on looking at my eyes, my wife noticed that the cataract had disappeared. I put away 3 my outdoor glasses, which I have not required since, and through the understanding gained by studying Christian Science I have been able to do away with my indoor 6 glasses also, and have had no return of pain in my eyes since. This is now a year and a half ago. — G. F. S., Liverpool, England. |

637 | 653 | S&H 18 | 0 | eyes inflamed healed | Show all | GRATEFUL FOR MANY BLESSINGS 9 In 1894 I began the study of Christian Science. At that time I was greatly in need of its healing truth. For a number of years previous I had been a semi- 12 invalid with no hope of ever being well and strong again. Several years before this time I had undergone an operation which resulted in peritonitis. For three 15 years previous to my study of Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy, I was scarcely ever free from headache caused by the weakened and diseased condition of the 18 internal organs. At the time I began the study of Christian Science I was taking five kinds of medicine. I began to read Science and Health, and did not 21 take treatment, for I thought, "If this is truth, I shall be healed; if it is not, I shall be able to detect it, and will have nothing to do with it." I became a 24 devoted student and gradually my bodily diseases left me, — I was free, and since that time, nearly ten years ago, neither my two children nor myself have 27 taken any medicine; and our understanding of truth has been able to meet and overcome any suggestion of illness. 30 I was a devoted member of an orthodox church, 1 but as I grew older I began to question my beliefs, and to my questions I could find no satisfactory an- 3 swer. I became dissatisfied and finally ceased attend- ing church. I could not accept the idea of God taught there, and at last my friends looked sadly upon me as 6 an atheist. There I stood until I learned to know God as revealed in Science and Health, and then all my questionings were answered. In my girlhood I had 9 always prayed to the God I held in mind, and when the shadows of sickness, pain, and death came to my family, I prayed as only those can who know that if 12 He helps not, there is none; but my prayers were unanswered. Then I closed my Bible, saying, "There is a mistake somewhere, perhaps some time I may 15 know." Only those who know the attitude of mind that I was in can understand the joy that came to me as I 18 began to learn of God in Christian Science, and of my relation to Him. Many proofs of the healing power of Truth and of 21 His protecting care throng my thoughts. Seven years ago, when we were in a far distant country, where Christian Science was then unknown, my little daughter 24 came in one morning from her school, saying, "Mother, I have measles; twenty of the girls are sick in bed and I am afraid they will put me there also." Her face, hands, 27 and chest were covered with a deep red rash, throat sore, and eyes inflamed. We began immediately to do our work in Science and at night, when I left her at the door of the 30 college, her face was clear, her eyes bright, and all fear destroyed. That was the end of the disease. — F. M. P., Boston, Mass. |

639 | 612 | S&H 18 | 0 | eyesight healed | Show all | 3 A REMARKABLE CASE Nine years ago my only child was hovering between life and death. Some of the best physicians in Boston 6 had pronounced his case incurable, saying that if he lived he would always be an invalid and a cripple. One of the diseases was gastric catarrh. He was allowed 9 to eat but very few things, and even after taking every precaution, he suffered to the extent that he would lie in spasms for half a day. He also had rickets; physi- 12 cians saying that there was not a natural bone in his body. It was while he was in what seemed to be his greatest 15 agony, and when I was in the darkest despair, that I first heard of Christian Science. The bearer of the joyful tidings could only tell me to come and hear of the wonder- 18 ful things that Christian Science was doing. I accepted the invitation, for I was willing to try anything to save my child, and the following Friday evening I attended 21 my first meeting, which was in The Mother Church of Christ, Scientist. Long before the service began every seat was filled, which was amazing to me, being an ordi- 24 nary weekly meeting, and that night I realized from the testimonies given that Christian Science was the religion for which I had been searching for years. The next 27 day I went to find a practitioner, but was unable to get the one who had been recommended, he being too busy. On my way home I thought of some of the testimonies 30 which I had heard the night before, — of people being 1 healed by simply reading Science and Health. I resolved at once to borrow a copy, and not dreaming of the 3 sacrifice that my friend would make by conferring such a favor, I went and asked her for a loan of Science and Health. I never saw any one part so reluctantly 6 with a book as my friend did with her copy of the textbook. I read it silently and audibly, day and night, in my 9 home, and although I could not seem to understand it, yet the healing commenced to take place at once. The little mouth which had been twisted by spasms 12 grew natural and the child was soon able to be up, playing and romping about the house as any child should. About this time we decided to move to the 15 far West. I was young in Science at the time, and my husband greatly feared that the journey would cause a relapse 18 for the child, but instead, he continued to improve. I constantly read the Bible, Science and Health, and Mis- cellaneous Writings, the two weeks we traveled, and we 21 were the only ones in our car who, throughout the journey, did not get train sick. The child's limbs grew perfectly straight, he ate anything he wanted, and for years he has 24 been a natural, healthy child in every way. He has passed through some of the worst forms of contagion untouched and unharmed. 27 I had been reading Science and Health several months, before I gave any thought to myself and my numerous complaints. I had never been very strong, and some of 30 my ailments were supposed to be hereditary and chronic, hence I dragged through many tedious years with a belief in medical laws and hereditary laws resting upon me. 1 Just before I commenced reading Science and Health I spent a half day in having my eyes examined by one 3 of the leading oculists in Boston. His verdict was that my eyes were in a dreadful condition, and that I would always need to wear glasses. In the meantime I com- 6 menced to read Science and Health, and when I thought of my eyes, I had no need for glasses. The years that I have been in Science I have used my eyes incessantly, 9 night as well as day, doing all kinds of trying work and without requiring the aid of glasses. I was healed of all my complaints whilst seeking the truth for my child, 12 and many of them have never returned. Those that appeared simply came to the surface to be destroyed. Teeth have been restored and facial blemishes re- 15 moved, unconsciously, simply by reading Science and Health. All of this is, however, nothing to compare with the spiritual uplifting which I have received, and 18 I have everything to be thankful for. — M. T. W., Los Angeles, Cal. |

I was a very unhappy, discontented woman; I 21 had kidney disease, besides sore eyes, and my general health was very bad. The doctor said that the climate did not suit me, and that I certainly should have a change. 24 The best thing, he said, was to go back to France (my own country); but I did not like to leave the school, so I struggled on until July, when we went travelling for a 27 month, but I came home worse than ever. I had a lot of worry, one disappointment after another, and I often thought that life was not worth living. In September, 30 1904, we heard for the first time of Christian Science 1 through a girl who was attending our boarding-school, and who was healed through Christian Science treatment. 3 We bought the textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mrs. Eddy, and what a revelation it was and is to us; it is indeed the fountain of Truth. I 6 had read Science and Health but a very short time when I took off my glasses, began to sleep well, and soon found myself well in mind and body. Besides this, it has brought 9 harmony into our school, where there had been discord, and everything is changed for the better. I cannot de- scribe the happiness that has come to me through Chris- 12 tian Science; I can only exclaim with the psalmist: "Bless the Lord, O my soul;" and may God bless Mrs. Eddy. My one aim now is to live Christian Science, not in words 15 only, but in deeds; loving God more and my neighbor as myself, and following meekly and obediently all our Leader's teachings. Words cannot express my gratitude 18 to Mrs. Eddy for Christian Science. — S. A. K., Van- couver, B. C. |

641 | 682 | S&H 18 | 0 | eyesight healed | Show all | MANY TROUBLES OVERCOME In the second chapter of First Peter, ninth verse, I 18 read "that ye should show forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light." The periodicals so wisely established by our 21 Leader give us one means of showing forth the praises of Truth. From the darkness of physical pain and weariness into 24 the light of wholeness and joyousness in work and living, — from the darkness of a clouded sight into the light of clearer vision, — from the darkness of doubt 27 and discord into the marvellous light of the reality of good, — this is what a reading of the Christian Science textbook has done for me. 30 At the time the book was lent to me, I was teach- 1 ing in the public schools of Chicago, and absences from my work on account of illness were of frequent occurrence. 3 For five weeks I had been under the care of a specialist for an organic trouble, and he said I would have to come as many more months before a cure could be effected. 6 At this time, Science and Health was brought to my notice. I never thought of such a thing as being healed by the reading of the book, but my thought was so changed 9 that I was healed, not only of the organic trouble, but of blurred eyesight, fatigue, and a train of other discordant manifestations. I did not go back to the physician 12 until four months later to pay my bill (which, by the way, was more than five times the price of the Science and Health I had purchased). From the time I read 15 the book I taught steadily without losing time from my work. I was helped, too, with my work in many other ways. 18 Through reading the textbook I learned that God has given us strength to do all we have to do, and that it is the things we do not have to do (the envying, strife, emu- 21 lating, vainglorying, and so on) that leave in their wake fatigue and discord. Gratitude to our beloved Leader, Mrs. Eddy, and 24 to her faithful students, with whom I afterwards be- came associated, can be expressed only by daily efforts to put into practice what has been taught. — T.

From infancy I had been devoted to my church, and as soon as I was old enough I was ever active in the work. Feeling it to 18 be my duty to attend every service held in my own church, I took advantage of the Wednesday evening meetings. My first visit was not my last, I am thank- 21 ful to say, for I saw immediately that these people not only preached Christianity, but practised and lived it. At that time I was wearing glasses and had worn 24 them for sixteen years. At times I suffered the most intense pain, and for this phase of the trouble, one specialist after another had been consulted. All gave 27 me very much the same advice; each one urged ex- treme carefulness and gave me glasses that seemed to relieve for a time. None of them held out any hope 30 that my sight would ever be restored, saying that the 1 defect had existed since infancy, and that in time I should be blind. 3 The thought of blindness was very distressing to me, but I tried to bear it with Christian resignation, since I thought that God had seen fit to afflict me; but since 6 I have learned that He is a loving Father, who gives only good, I regret that I ever charged Him with my affliction. I had no treatment, but I read Science and 9 Health, and my eyes were healed and glasses laid aside. I can never find words to express my thanks to our dear Leader, through whose teachings my sight has been re- 12 gained. I can truthfully say that "whereas I was blind, now I see" — through an understanding of Truth I have found my sight perfect as God gave it. — Miss 15 B. S., Wilmington, N. C. |

My mother's copy of Science and Health was always lying on the table, but I scarcely ever read it. One day, how- 21 ever, the mental conflict was so great I commenced read- ing in the hope of obtaining peace. Every day since then my companions have been the Bible and Science 24 and Health. At that time I had a very serious eruption on my face, which had been there two years. We had consulted several physicians, and used every remedy 27 suggested to eradicate it, but they proved useless. I had given up all hopes of its ever being healed, as the physician we last consulted pronounced it tuberculosis 30 of the skin and incurable. A few weeks after I com- 1 menced reading, I was amazed to see it almost healed over, and to-day my cheek is perfectly smooth, while the 3 scar is disappearing. In April my baby was born with only the practitioner and a woman friend present. I suffered little pain, and 6 the third day I went down-stairs. I am able to nurse him, — a privilege of which I was deprived with my first child. He is a picture of health, having never been 9 sick a day since he was born. — K. E. W. L., Mt. Dora, Fla. |

I was reared by 24 kind and loving Christian parents and was a member of an orthodox church for over twenty years, but I was never satisfied. I was filled with fear and bound down 27 by the false gods of this world, — sin, disease, and pov- erty; consequently every way I turned, and in everything I attempted to do, I was met with disappointment and 30 failure; but God was leading me into a different life. 1 My interest was first awakened to Christian Science about thirteen years ago, and I have been a willing dis- 3 ciple ever since. Through the reading of Science and Health I was healed of chronic catarrh and laryngitis, and it also enabled me to lay off my glasses. Christian 6 Science has not only helped me mentally, morally, and physically, but the greatest blessing of all is the spirit- ual uplifting which enabled me to know that God is both 9 able and willing to care for His children, if we are but willing to do our part and bear the cross which, though it seems heavy at times, always brings a sure reward. 12 Christian Science has not only helped me, but it has enabled me to help others. The Bible is a new book to me. I now see what 15 Jesus meant when he said, "Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest." My heart goes out in gratitude to Mrs. Eddy for the 18 work she has done and is still doing for the world, and to God I am most grateful that He has guided me into the truth, that I may have life, and have it more abundantly. 21 — Mrs. M.

I had never been a strong girl; had always been subject to colds and chills, and suffered all my 21 life from a delicate throat. Seven years ago I had a very severe attack of rheumatic fever and subsequently two less severe ones. These left all sorts of evils be- 24 hind them, — debility, chronic constipation, and several others, so that with these ills my life was often a burden to me and I used to think I never should re- 27 ceive relief or health. I had also lost all love for God and faith in Him. I could not accept a God who, as I then believed, visited sickness and sorrow upon 30 His children as a means for drawing them to Him. 1 I was in this state of mind and body when Christian Science found me. A dear friend, seeing my suffering, 3 presented the truth to me, and though at first I did not believe that there could be healing for me, the Chris- tian Scientists' God seemed to be the one I had been 6 looking for all my life. I began to read Science and Health, and shall never forget my joy at finding that I could love and trust God. I took to studying the 9 Bible, and read nothing but Science and Health and other Christian Science literature for a year. After studying the "little book" for about six weeks, I one 12 day realized that I was a well woman, that I had taken no medicine for three weeks, and that my body was perfectly harmonious. The reading of Science and 15 Health had healed me. The wonderful joy and spirit- ual uplifting which came to me then no words of mine can describe. I had also suffered from astigmatism 18 and had for several years been obliged to use special glasses when reading or working, and could never use my eyes for more than half an hour; but from the first 21 reading of Science and Health I found that I could read in any light and for any length of time without the slight- est discomfort. I am not only grateful for the physi- 24 cal healing but for the mental regeneration. I rejoice that I am now able to help others who are sick and sor- rowing. — E. E.

I was very ill and unhappy; very cynical and disbeliev- 30 ing in regard to what I heard of God and religion. 1 I tried to live my life in my own way and put religion aside. I was a great believer in fate and in will-power, 3 and thought to put them in the place of God, with the consequence that I was led to do many rash and foolish things. I am now thankful to say that my out- 6 look on life is entirely changed; I have proved God's wisdom and goodness so often that I am willing and thankful to know my future is in His hands and that 9 all things must work out for the best. I have found a God whom I can love and worship with my whole heart, and I now read my Bible with interest and 12 understanding. I was healed of very bad rheumatism simply by read- ing Science and Health. I had tried many medicines, 15 also massage, with no result, and the doctors told me that I would always suffer from this disease, as it was inherited, and also because I had rheumatic fever 18 when a child. I suffered day and night, and nothing relieved me until Science proved to me the falseness of this belief by removing it. I gave up all the medi- 21 cines I was taking and have never touched any since, and that is more than two years ago. Before this I had often tried to do without a medicine that I had 24 taken every day for ten years, but was always ill and had to return to it, until I found out that one Mind is the only medicine, and then I was freed from the suffering. 27 I had also suffered constantly from bilious attacks, colds, and a weak chest, and had been warned not to be out in wet weather, etc., but now, I am glad to say, 30 I am quite free from all those material laws and go out in all sorts of weather. — R.

I was greatly emaciated and hardly able to be about. 9 My general condition was aggravated by what the doc- tors said was paralysis of the bowels. Three physi- cians so diagnosed it at different times, and assured 12 my husband that I could never get more than tem- porary relief. This indeed I found difficult to obtain, in spite of my almost frantic efforts. At times I was 15 nearly insane from suffering, and after eight years of doctoring I found myself steadily growing worse. For four years I did not have a normal action of the bowels, 18 and it was only by extreme effort and by resort to pow- erful drugs or mechanical means, with resultant suffering, that any action whatever could be brought about. 21 I had heard nothing of the curative power of Chris- tian Science, and only to oblige a friend I went one night, about three years ago, to one of their mid-week 24 testimonial meetings, in Boulder, Colorado. I was much impressed by what I heard there, and determined at once to investigate this strange religion, in the hope that it 27 might have something good for me. I bought the text- book, Science and Health, and from the first I found myself growing stronger and better, both physically and 30 mentally, as I acquired a better understanding and en- deavored to put into practice what I learned. In one week 1 I was able to get along better without drugs than I had for years with them, and before three months had passed I 3 was better than I had been any time in my life, for I had always suffered more or less from bowel trouble. Since that time I have taken no medicine whatever, and 6 rely wholly upon Christian Science. My lungs are now sound, my bowels normally active, my general health excellent, and I am able to endure without fatigue 9 tasks that before would have prostrated me. The study of our textbook was the sole means of my healing. — L. M. St. C., Matachin, Canal Zone, Panama. |

658 | 682 | S&H 18 | 0 | fatigue healed | Show all | MANY TROUBLES OVERCOME In the second chapter of First Peter, ninth verse, I 18 read "that ye should show forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light." The periodicals so wisely established by our 21 Leader give us one means of showing forth the praises of Truth. From the darkness of physical pain and weariness into 24 the light of wholeness and joyousness in work and living, — from the darkness of a clouded sight into the light of clearer vision, — from the darkness of doubt 27 and discord into the marvellous light of the reality of good, — this is what a reading of the Christian Science textbook has done for me. 30 At the time the book was lent to me, I was teach- 1 ing in the public schools of Chicago, and absences from my work on account of illness were of frequent occurrence. 3 For five weeks I had been under the care of a specialist for an organic trouble, and he said I would have to come as many more months before a cure could be effected. 6 At this time, Science and Health was brought to my notice. I never thought of such a thing as being healed by the reading of the book, but my thought was so changed 9 that I was healed, not only of the organic trouble, but of blurred eyesight, fatigue, and a train of other discordant manifestations. I did not go back to the physician 12 until four months later to pay my bill (which, by the way, was more than five times the price of the Science and Health I had purchased). From the time I read 15 the book I taught steadily without losing time from my work. I was helped, too, with my work in many other ways. 18 Through reading the textbook I learned that God has given us strength to do all we have to do, and that it is the things we do not have to do (the envying, strife, emu- 21 lating, vainglorying, and so on) that leave in their wake fatigue and discord. Gratitude to our beloved Leader, Mrs. Eddy, and 24 to her faithful students, with whom I afterwards be- came associated, can be expressed only by daily efforts to put into practice what has been taught. — T.

Feeling that this was God's will, I did not ask to be healed, although I was constantly doctoring. I suffered with dys- 27 pepsia, congestion of the liver, and many other things, including weak eyesight. With all the medicine, and with different changes for rest, I never regained health, 30 and thought I never should, so I prayed for grace to bear my cross patiently for others' sake. One day, while 1 lying on my couch exhausted, which had become a fre- quent experience, the words came to me, "Whatsoever 3 ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive." I rose, knelt down and said, O God, make me well. I was telling a friend this and she kindly gave me a Senti- 6 nel. Imagine my joy when I saw the testimonies of heal- ing! I believed them, remembering our Lord's words, "Blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have be- 9 lieved." I obtained a copy of Science and Health and before a week had passed I realized that if God was my all I needed no glasses. My eyes were healed in a few 12 days, and since then I have never thought of glasses. I was also cured of dyspepsia, and nothing that I have eaten has hurt me since then. The belief in health laws 15 was next destroyed, by knowing that our heavenly Father did not make them, and from this has come the beautiful experience of the overcoming of fatigue. 18 For this alone I can never be thankful enough. True indeed are the words, "They shall run, and not be weary." This was more than a year ago, and I can say that not 21 once have I felt inclined to lie on the couch, nor have I had a headache, although I am doing more work than ever before. Fear has also been overcome in many ways. 24 — A. L., Chelmsford, England. |

From infancy I had been devoted to my church, and as soon as I was old enough I was ever active in the work. Feeling it to 18 be my duty to attend every service held in my own church, I took advantage of the Wednesday evening meetings. My first visit was not my last, I am thank- 21 ful to say, for I saw immediately that these people not only preached Christianity, but practised and lived it. At that time I was wearing glasses and had worn 24 them for sixteen years. At times I suffered the most intense pain, and for this phase of the trouble, one specialist after another had been consulted. All gave 27 me very much the same advice; each one urged ex- treme carefulness and gave me glasses that seemed to relieve for a time. None of them held out any hope 30 that my sight would ever be restored, saying that the 1 defect had existed since infancy, and that in time I should be blind. 3 The thought of blindness was very distressing to me, but I tried to bear it with Christian resignation, since I thought that God had seen fit to afflict me; but since 6 I have learned that He is a loving Father, who gives only good, I regret that I ever charged Him with my affliction. I had no treatment, but I read Science and 9 Health, and my eyes were healed and glasses laid aside. I can never find words to express my thanks to our dear Leader, through whose teachings my sight has been re- 12 gained. I can truthfully say that "whereas I was blind, now I see" — through an understanding of Truth I have found my sight perfect as God gave it. — Miss 15 B. S., Wilmington, N. C. |

665 | 684 | S&H 18 | 0 | fear cast out | Show all | A CONVINCING TESTIMONY 18 I became interested in Christian Science some five years ago, the practical nature of its statements appeal- ing to me, and I must say, at the outset, that with my 21 little experience I have found it all and more than I ever dreamt of realizing on this plane of existence. I am satisfied that I have found Truth. God is indeed to me 24 an ever-present help. My little girl, some ten months old, was afflicted with constipation. It was so severe I dreaded to go 27 out anywhere with her, as I knew not when she would be taken with a convulsion. I had tried all the usual remedies in such cases, but it seemed to grow more ob- 30 stinate. There was a Christian Scientist living in 1 the same house with us, a Scientist who let her light shine, and while she said little, I felt the reflection of 3 Love. I had no knowledge of the teachings of Chris- tian Science, save that God was the physician at all times. In my own way I believed He was all-power- 6 ful, and I said to my husband one day, "I am through with medicine for baby. I am just going to leave her in God's care and see what He will do. I have done 9 all I can." I did as I said, laid my burden at God's feet, and did not pick it up again. In two days the child was perfectly natural, and has since been free 12 from the trouble. She is now six years of age. Some months later a second test came. She woke up at nine o'clock at night crying and holding her ear. There 15 was to sense a gathering. I was alone. I took up my Science and Health and Bible, but the more I worked the louder she screamed. Error kept suggesting ma- 18 terial remedies, but I said firmly: "No; I shall not go back to error. God will help me." Just then I thought of my own fear, how excessive it was, and a conversation 21 I had with the Scientist who first voiced the truth to me, came to mind. She said she always found it helpful to treat herself and cast out her own fear before treat- 24 ing a patient. I put baby down and again took up my Science and Health, and these were the words I read: — 27 "Every trial of our faith in God makes us stronger. The more difficult seems the material condition to be overcome by Spirit, the stronger should be our faith 30 and the purer our love. The Apostle John says: 'There is no fear in Love, but perfect Love casteth out fear' " (Science and Health, p. 410). I looked up, the crying 1 had ceased, the child was smiling, and in a few minutes asked to be put to bed. There has been no further 3 trouble of that kind. I have since seen the power of Truth overcome error of many forms, including croup, whooping-cough, ton- 6 silitis, etc. I am thankful for all these proofs, but far more grateful am I for the spiritual teaching to love, to forgive, to curb my tongue, and cease my criticism. 9 — M.

666 | 653 | S&H 18 | 0 | fear from measles healed | Show all | GRATEFUL FOR MANY BLESSINGS 9 In 1894 I began the study of Christian Science. At that time I was greatly in need of its healing truth. For a number of years previous I had been a semi- 12 invalid with no hope of ever being well and strong again. Several years before this time I had undergone an operation which resulted in peritonitis. For three 15 years previous to my study of Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy, I was scarcely ever free from headache caused by the weakened and diseased condition of the 18 internal organs. At the time I began the study of Christian Science I was taking five kinds of medicine. I began to read Science and Health, and did not 21 take treatment, for I thought, "If this is truth, I shall be healed; if it is not, I shall be able to detect it, and will have nothing to do with it." I became a 24 devoted student and gradually my bodily diseases left me, — I was free, and since that time, nearly ten years ago, neither my two children nor myself have 27 taken any medicine; and our understanding of truth has been able to meet and overcome any suggestion of illness. 30 I was a devoted member of an orthodox church, 1 but as I grew older I began to question my beliefs, and to my questions I could find no satisfactory an- 3 swer. I became dissatisfied and finally ceased attend- ing church. I could not accept the idea of God taught there, and at last my friends looked sadly upon me as 6 an atheist. There I stood until I learned to know God as revealed in Science and Health, and then all my questionings were answered. In my girlhood I had 9 always prayed to the God I held in mind, and when the shadows of sickness, pain, and death came to my family, I prayed as only those can who know that if 12 He helps not, there is none; but my prayers were unanswered. Then I closed my Bible, saying, "There is a mistake somewhere, perhaps some time I may 15 know." Only those who know the attitude of mind that I was in can understand the joy that came to me as I 18 began to learn of God in Christian Science, and of my relation to Him. Many proofs of the healing power of Truth and of 21 His protecting care throng my thoughts. Seven years ago, when we were in a far distant country, where Christian Science was then unknown, my little daughter 24 came in one morning from her school, saying, "Mother, I have measles; twenty of the girls are sick in bed and I am afraid they will put me there also." Her face, hands, 27 and chest were covered with a deep red rash, throat sore, and eyes inflamed. We began immediately to do our work in Science and at night, when I left her at the door of the 30 college, her face was clear, her eyes bright, and all fear destroyed. That was the end of the disease. — F. M. P., Boston, Mass. |

667 | 655 | S&H 18 | 0 | fear of blindness healed | Show all | 1 A JOYFUL EXPERIENCE In love and gratitude to God, and to Mrs. Eddy, the 3 interpreter of Jesus' beautiful teachings, I wish to tell of some of the benefits which I have received from Christian Science. It is a little over a year since 6 Science found me in a deplorable condition, physically as well as mentally. I had ailments of many years' standing, — chronic stomach trouble, severe eye trouble, 9 made almost unbearable from the constant fear of losing my sight (a fate which had befallen my mother), also a painful rupture of twenty-five years' 12 standing. These ailments, combined with unhappy conditions in my home, made me very despondent. I had entirely lost my belief in an all-merciful God, and 15 I did not know where to turn for help. At that time Christian Science was brought to my notice, and I shall never forget the sublime moment when I perceived that 18 an all-loving Father is always with me. Forgotten was all sorrow and worry, and after four weeks' reading in Science and Health all my ailments had disappeared. 21 I am to-day a healthy, contented woman. All this has come to pass in one short year, and my earnest desire is to be more and more worthy to be 24 called a child of God. This is in loving gratitude for an understanding of this glorious truth. — Mrs. R. J., Chicago, Ill. |

668 | 643 | S&H 18 | 0 | fear of business healed | Show all | GRATEFUL FOR MORAL AND SPIRITUAL AWAKENING About four years ago, after I had tried different ways 30 and means to be relieved from bodily suffering, a faith- 1 ful friend called my attention to the teaching of Chris- tian Science. After some opposition, I decided to in- 3 vestigate it, with the thought that if this teaching would be helpful, it was meant for me as well as for others; if it did not afford any help, I could put it aside again, but 6 that I would find out and be convinced. After I had read Mrs. Eddy's work, Science and Health, a few days, I found that my ailments had disappeared, 9 and a rest had come to me which I had never before known. I had smoked almost incessantly, although I had often determined to use my will power and never smoke again, 12 but had always failed. This desire as well as the de- sire for drink simply disappeared, and I wish to say here, that I received all these benefits before I had gained much 15 understanding of what I was reading. Like a prisoner, who had been in chains for years, I was suddenly set free. I did not then know how the chain had been removed, 18 but I had to acknowledge that it came through the reading of this book. I then felt an ardent desire to read more, and to know what this power was that had freed me 21 in a few days of that which I had been trying for years to shake off and had failed. It then became clear to me that this was the truth which Jesus Christ taught 24 and preached to free humanity almost two thousand years ago. It did not, however, occur to me to apply it in my business affairs; on the contrary, I first thought 27 that if I continued in my study I would have to retire from business. This did not happen, however, for I gradually found 30 that the little understanding of this wonderful teach- ing which I had acquired became a great help to me in my business. I became more friendly, more honest, 1 more loving to my fellow-men; and I also acquired better judgment and was able to do the right thing at the right 3 time. As a natural result my business improved. Be- fore I knew anything of Christian Science my business had often been a burden to me, fear and worry deprived 6 me of my rest. How different it is now! Through the study of the Bible, which now possesses unmeasurable treasures for me, and of our textbook, Science and Health, 9 and the other works of our Leader, I receive peace and confidence in God and that insight into character which is necessary for the correct management of any business. 12 — W.

669 | 602 | S&H 18 | 0 | fear of death healed | Show all | 12 SUBSTANCE OF LUNGS RESTORED It was about fifteen years ago that Christian Science first came to my notice. At that time I had been a chronic 15 invalid for a good many years. I had acute bowel trouble, bronchitis, and a number of other troubles. One physician had told me that my lungs were like wet paper, 18 ready to tear at any time, and I was filled with fear, as my mother, two brothers, and a sister had been vic- tims of consumption. I tried many physicians and 21 every material remedy that promised help, but no help came until I found a copy of Mrs. Eddy's book, Sci- ence and Health. The book was placed in my hands 24 by one who did not then appreciate it, and I was told that it would be hard for me to understand it. I com- menced reading it with this thought, but I caught beau- 27 tiful glimpses of Truth, which took away my fear and healed me of all those diseases, and they have never returned. 30 I would also like to tell how I was healed of a sprained 1 ankle. The accident occurred in the morning, and all that day and during the night I gave myself Christian 3 Science treatment, as best I could. The next morning it seemed to be no better, being very sore, badly swollen, and much discolored. Feeling that I had done all I could, 6 I decided to stop thinking about it. I took my copy of Science and Health and began reading. Very soon I became so absorbed in the book that I forgot all about 9 my ankle; it went entirely out of my thought, for I had a glimpse of all God's creation as spiritual, and for the time being lost sight of my material selfhood. After two 12 hours I laid the book down and walked into another room. When next I thought of my ankle, I found it was not hurt- ing me. The swelling had gone down, the black and blue 15 appearance had nearly vanished, and it was perfectly well. It was healed while I was "absent from the body" and "present with the Lord." This experience was worth 18 a great deal to me, for it showed me how the healing is done. — C. H., Portland, Ore. |

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. |

I was reared by 24 kind and loving Christian parents and was a member of an orthodox church for over twenty years, but I was never satisfied. I was filled with fear and bound down 27 by the false gods of this world, — sin, disease, and pov- erty; consequently every way I turned, and in everything I attempted to do, I was met with disappointment and 30 failure; but God was leading me into a different life. 1 My interest was first awakened to Christian Science about thirteen years ago, and I have been a willing dis- 3 ciple ever since. Through the reading of Science and Health I was healed of chronic catarrh and laryngitis, and it also enabled me to lay off my glasses. Christian 6 Science has not only helped me mentally, morally, and physically, but the greatest blessing of all is the spirit- ual uplifting which enabled me to know that God is both 9 able and willing to care for His children, if we are but willing to do our part and bear the cross which, though it seems heavy at times, always brings a sure reward. 12 Christian Science has not only helped me, but it has enabled me to help others. The Bible is a new book to me. I now see what 15 Jesus meant when he said, "Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest." My heart goes out in gratitude to Mrs. Eddy for the 18 work she has done and is still doing for the world, and to God I am most grateful that He has guided me into the truth, that I may have life, and have it more abundantly. 21 — Mrs. M.

672 | 679 | S&H 18 | 0 | fear of food healed | Show all | I should like to express my gratitude for the many benefits I have received through Christian Science, and to mention the great joy brought to me in the thought that man is not the helpless victim of sin, disease, and death. Through its teachings I have been able to overcome many errors. When Christian Science found me, one year ago last April, in Chicago, I was suffering from catarrh of the stomach, which had been very persistent, and I had been a slave to the cigarette habit for eighteen years. Pain and weakness had robbed me of all that one holds dear. The first symptoms of the disease appeared about five years ago in the form of severe cramps of the stomach, which finally developed into other symptoms of that painful disease. I doctored continually, my diet daily becoming more rigid, until three slices of toast became my daily allowance of food. In this condition I left the East for my home in Chicago, hoping that a change of climate might benefit me. After spending six weeks there and finding no relief, I concluded to return East. The Sunday morning before leaving I picked up a Sunday paper, and glancing through the religious items my eyes fell on the notices of Christian Science church services. Curiosity led me to a service and I shall never forget that morning or the surprise and joy it gave me to find that beautiful church, and to know that so great a number actually believed that God does heal the sick today. This brought a first ray of hope. The evening service found me there again. Among the notices read was that of a reading room, giving the location and time of opening. Monday morning found me there promptly, and the first book I picked up was Science and Health which opened a new world to me. I had dieted so long and suffered so much that I had a morbid fear of food. When I had reached and read of "neither food nor the stomach, without the consent of mortal mind, can make one suffer" (Science and Health, p. 221), I left the reading room for something to eat. I found a bakery near by, and bought a bag of cakes which I ate, and shortly after I had a hearty dinner without the least complaint from my stomach. From that time until now I have eaten anything that I wished, and the craving for cigarettes, which I had for many years, has entirely vanished. The understanding of Truth, which entirely relieved the diseased stomach, healed also the morbid appetite for smoking. After coming back East, I bought a copy of Science and Health, which I have read daily, and find it a continual help in all the affairs of life. In my home and at work I find this Science a comfort and source of strength. I have had many difficulties in the way, but it has helped me out of them all. - W. E. B., New Britain, Conn. |

It is a little over a year since 6 Science found me in a deplorable condition, physically as well as mentally. I had ailments of many years' standing, — chronic stomach trouble, severe eye trouble, 9 made almost unbearable from the constant fear of losing my sight (a fate which had befallen my mother), also a painful rupture of twenty-five years' 12 standing. These ailments, combined with unhappy conditions in my home, made me very despondent. I had entirely lost my belief in an all-merciful God, and 15 I did not know where to turn for help. At that time Christian Science was brought to my notice, and I shall never forget the sublime moment when I perceived that 18 an all-loving Father is always with me. Forgotten was all sorrow and worry, and after four weeks' reading in Science and Health all my ailments had disappeared. 21 I am to-day a healthy, contented woman. All this has come to pass in one short year, and my earnest desire is to be more and more worthy to be 24 called a child of God. This is in loving gratitude for an understanding of this glorious truth. — Mrs. R. J., Chicago, Ill. |

At that time I had been a chronic 15 invalid for a good many years. I had acute bowel trouble, bronchitis, and a number of other troubles. One physician had told me that my lungs were like wet paper, 18 ready to tear at any time, and I was filled with fear, as my mother, two brothers, and a sister had been vic- tims of consumption. I tried many physicians and 21 every material remedy that promised help, but no help came until I found a copy of Mrs. Eddy's book, Sci- ence and Health. The book was placed in my hands 24 by one who did not then appreciate it, and I was told that it would be hard for me to understand it. I com- menced reading it with this thought, but I caught beau- 27 tiful glimpses of Truth, which took away my fear and healed me of all those diseases, and they have never returned. 30 I would also like to tell how I was healed of a sprained 1 ankle. The accident occurred in the morning, and all that day and during the night I gave myself Christian 3 Science treatment, as best I could. The next morning it seemed to be no better, being very sore, badly swollen, and much discolored. Feeling that I had done all I could, 6 I decided to stop thinking about it. I took my copy of Science and Health and began reading. Very soon I became so absorbed in the book that I forgot all about 9 my ankle; it went entirely out of my thought, for I had a glimpse of all God's creation as spiritual, and for the time being lost sight of my material selfhood. After two 12 hours I laid the book down and walked into another room. When next I thought of my ankle, I found it was not hurt- ing me. The swelling had gone down, the black and blue 15 appearance had nearly vanished, and it was perfectly well. It was healed while I was "absent from the body" and "present with the Lord." This experience was worth 18 a great deal to me, for it showed me how the healing is done. — C. H., Portland, Ore. |

675 | 631 | S&H 18 | 0 | fear of injury healed | Show all | 27 AFTER TWENTY YEARS' SUFFERING From early girlhood I was considered an invalid, hav- ing been injured by a hard fall while playing. The pain 30 was intense for some time and for several hours I was un- 1 able to walk or stand alone. Later, a growing weakness of the back accompanied with sharp pains alarmed my 3 parents, who called a physician, and he pronounced it spinal trouble. Then followed nearly twenty years of increased suffering, at times very severe. As years went 6 by and I became a wife and mother, my suffering in- creased. Everything that medical skill could do was done, but finding no lasting benefit from anything, I lost 9 hope of recovery. When Christian Science found me I was under the doctor's sentence that if I lived the week through I would 12 become entirely helpless, not able to move hand or foot. My husband was a travelling man, and being urgently called home, he met an old friend on the train who asked 15 why we did not try Christian Science. The reply, We know nothing of it, was followed by a brief explanation of its healing power and the benefit his family had re- 18 ceived. This inspired my husband with new hope, and on his arrival at home he called on a practitioner, who recommended our getting Science and Health, which we 21 did, but ignorance and the prejudice of old education produced such fear that I hid the book under the covers of the bed whenever the children came into the room, 24 fearing that it was not of God and would injure them. God's dear love was, however, more potent than these foolish fears, and the first day I read from its sacred pages 27 I was convinced its teachings were the same truths as Jesus Christ had taught centuries ago. When I had read a few pages, I reached out and threw my medicine from the 30 open window at the head of my bed. I then turned back to the book and began reading again, when, lo, the Christ-idea dawned upon me, and I was healed instantaneously. 1 I first noticed the spot in my back cooling, and soon I got out of bed. I continued to read eagerly; I felt as 3 if I wanted to devour the healing truth, and drank it in as a thirsty plant does the gentle rain. When dinner was prepared, I walked out and ate a hearty meal with the 6 family, to the amazement of all. We shall never forget what a joyful meal this was. How we did thank God for Christian Science! 9 As year after year has gone by, till twenty years have passed and the healing has remained perfect, I have grown to thank God with deeper sincerity that one brave 12 woman was found pure enough to bring forth this Christ- healing again, to remain forever among men and to save suffering humanity from all disease and sin. — Mrs. 15 P.

676 | 621 | S&H 18 | 0 | fear of pain healed | Show all | HEALTH AND PEACE ATTAINED 9 For fifteen years I was a great sufferer physically and mentally. 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 silently 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. |

677 | 650 | S&H 18 | 0 | fear of pain healed | Show all | A CONVINCING INVESTIGATION While I have testified to those around me and in many 30 localities, of my healing in Christian Science, I feel that 1 it is high time I put the candle in the candlestick where all who will may see. My earliest recollection was a day 3 of suffering, — a physical inheritance from my mother, which gave simple interest for a time until years ad- vanced and compound interest was added. My father 6 was a physician, and material remedies were used for my mother without avail, consequently his confidence in them for me was shaken, — in fact he often told me 9 it was better to suffer without medicine than become a chronic doser, without pain. I began teaching in early life and continued for more 12 than twenty years, and during that time not a day passed without pain, or fear of pain, and only for my innate love of life it would have become an intolerable burden. 15 For five years oatmeal was my chief food and I became almost as attached to it as Kaspar Hauser to his crust. I was early taught to have faith in God, and many times 18 was relieved of pain only to have it appear again in an aggravated form. At last my heart cried out for the living God, and 21 the answer came by one of His messengers, who told me of Christian Science. I replied that I believed God could heal, but that I had no faith in the healing of Chris- 24 tian Science, but would like to investigate its theology, as it might aid in giving me some clue to the meaning of life. For three years I had searched the works of 27 the most scientific writers to find the origin of life; many times I would think I had traced it to the beginning, but it would elude my grasp every time. One day in 30 talking with my friend, she said she would like to loan me the textbook, Science and Health, which I very will- ingly accepted. Not long afterward I felt a severe 1 attack of suffering. I opened the book for the first time and found a paragraph near the middle which 3 attracted my attention. I read the same paragraph over and over for nearly two hours. When the tea bell rang I closed the book and I shall never forget my per- 6 ception of the new heaven and the new earth, — every- thing in nature that I could see seemed to have been washed and made clean. The flowers that I have 9 always loved so much, and that from childhood had told me such sweet stories, now spoke to me of the All-in-all, the hearts of my friends seemed kinder, — I 12 had touched the hem of the garment of healing. I ate my supper that evening forgetful of the prepa- rations I had made for suffering, and when the next 15 day began I was more zealous of good work than ever before. Since closing Science and Health at my first reading I have never been able to find the paragraph 18 which I had read so many times over, the words seemed to have slipped away from me, but my joy knew no bounds at having found the pearl of great price. By 21 the continued reading of the book I was entirely healed, and for fourteen years I have not seen a day of physical suffering. — Miss L. M., Rome, N. Y. |

678 | 672 | S&H 18 | 0 | fear of pain healed | Show all | Most of my boyhood days were spent in the hands of physicians. From birth I was considered a very weakly child, but my mother was brave, and being much devoted to me did everything within her knowledge and power for my comfort. Sickness and medicine were continually before me, and by the time I reached my teens I thought I knew a material remedy for every ill. I continued in my delusion, because I was never told the real cause of my trouble. Besides being under a leading specialist for two years, I was also an outdoor patient at a noted hospital, but I was not healed. It is wonderful how the "little ones" are cared for in the face of all these seeming difficulties. I always used the prayers that I had been taught, and as I grew older I began to ask for wisdom. Little by little I gained a desire for freedom, and my prayers finally led me to the truth. The first week that I heard of Christian Science, I visited the home of dear Christian Science friends, and was at once refreshed by their purity of thought and example. I bought a copy of Science and Health, and, after studying it a little while with the Bible, I saw that if the Bible was true, Science and Health must also be true. I began to demonstrate over my physical and mental condition, and as soon as the fear and pain began to leave me I felt encouraged to go on. I was healed, and stopped complaining. I kept on studying our textbook, and when I got an understanding in a small degree of the Science of Mind, my first thought was to help others. I was guided where I could progress in Science, and was no longer "carried about with every wind of doctrine," but held to Principle as closely as possible. From the time the healing came into my consciousness, the desire for material remedies left me, because Christian Science at once pointed out the way to get at the cause of discord and disease. All that I had to give up were the false beliefs of mortal mind. Christian Science then taught me to love the church, and to appreciate what it had already done for mankind. I often thought of the old adage, "Charity begins at home," and after three years' preparation I felt able to take Christian Science to my home, where it found, in due time, ready acceptance and willing disciples. This gave me even greater joy than my own healing. The more good I saw accomplished, the more love I had for the truth. Christian Science changed my course from the first, and gave me a nobler aim and purpose in life. I was not so easily influenced by other people's shortcomings, when I learned that evil has neither personality nor place. I was not so ready to take offence, when I found out the way to work unselfishly for the upbuilding of the Cause. - A. E. J., Toledo, Ohio. |

679 | 686 | S&H 18 | 0 | fear of quick consumption healed | Show all | HEALED PHYSICALLY AND SPIRITUALLY I had been taking medicine continually for many 12 years. Finally I was taken suddenly ill and could not leave my room for about two months, then I went away for three months, thinking that I should come back 15 and be able to continue my work. I improved very much, but the fear of quick consumption was with my doctor and my family and friends, and I was warned about the 18 coming winter. Only too soon the fear manifested itself. I had worked just three weeks when all the pains and aches returned, and I had to go to bed as soon as I 21 got home, so there was no pleasure in living. My em- ployer advised me to see my physician, and said perhaps I should not work that winter. I then and there turned 24 to Christian Science. I could not afford to give up work and live away from home, neither did I want to depend on doctors and medicine any longer. I took the book 27 and read it on my way to work, and at noon I lay down on a couch instead of going out for luncheon and fell asleep. When I awoke I was a different person, all 30 pains and aches had gone, and I was free. I was so 1 happy I could hardly contain myself; to material sense it was wonderful. As I walked I kept saying, 3 "Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful," and tried to un- derstand "the scientific statement of being" by repeat- ing portions at a time, then pondering over them. I 6 read the book four times in succession, and every time I found more and more to aid in the under- standing. 9 This healing was in October, 1901, with no other help than Science and Health, and soon I was relieved of other chronic ailments. In February I was able to 12 put away eyeglasses, which I had worn ten years and a half for astigmatism. Oculists told me I would always have to wear them. A month later my father asked 15 me to help him, as he was suffering so much from con- stipation, dyspepsia, and neuralgia. He had been sub- sisting on bran, nearly starving himself until he was most 18 miserable, and his limbs seemed so cold that they were kept wrapped in blankets. I felt very humble as he asked me, and told him I would have a practitioner help 21 him, as I had never treated any one; but he would not consent to have any one but myself, and I finally told him I would try, but that he must not hold Science respon- 24 sible if he were not benefited, for my lack of understand- ing, and not Science, would be at fault. At my request he read Science and Health, ate whatever he wanted, 27 and used no medicine in any form. After two treat- ments I received word from him that he was healed of that bondage of thirty years' standing. In view of 30 all these signs which followed my acceptance of Chris- tian Science, I knew it must be true. — R. L. A., Chicago, Ill. |

Ten years ago I was healed of hereditary deafness and 24 catarrh of the head, simply through reading the book, Science and Health. For years previous I had consulted and taken treatment from some of the best specialists 27 for the ear and throat, both in England and America, but grew worse all the time. I was then urged by a lady who had been healed through Christian Science to buy 30 this book and study it. I did so very reluctantly, but 1 had not read fifty pages before I felt I had indeed found the truth which makes free, and can truly say, from that 3 time I have never had a return of the ailment. That for which I am, however, most grateful, is the daily help it is to me in my household of young chil- 6 dren. I am sure if mothers only knew what Christian Science truly means they would give all they possess to know it. We have seen croup, measles, fever, and 9 various other children's complaints, so-called, disappear like dew before the morning sun, through the applica- tion of Christian Science, — the understanding of God 12 as ever-present and omnipotent. It has been proven to me without a doubt that God is a very present help in trouble, and what a blessed help this wonderful truth is 15 in the training of our children, and how quickly the child grasps it. Some time ago my little girl, then three years old, 18 dislocated her shoulder. I was alone in the house at the time. The pain was so intense that she became faint. I treated her the best I knew how, but kept 21 holding the thought that just as soon as some one came I would run for help. She seemed to grow worse and cried very much. I undressed her and tried to twist 24 the arm into place, but it caused such suffering that I began to get afraid. Then like a flash came the thought, What would you do if you were out of the reach of a prac- 27 titioner? Now is your time to prove God's power and presence. With these thoughts came such a sense of calm and trustfulness that I lost all fear. I then asked 30 the child if I should read to her; she said "Yes, mamma, read the truth-book." I began reading aloud to her from Science and Health. In about half an hour I noticed 1 she tried to lift the arm but screamed and became very pale. I continued to read aloud and again she made 3 an effort to put some candy into her mouth. This time I noticed with joy that she almost reached her mouth before she felt the pain. I kept reading aloud to her 6 until my sister and two boys came in, when she jumped off her bed, so delighted to see her brothers that she for- got her arm. She then began to tell her aunt that she 9 had broken her arm and mamma treated it with the truth- book. When this happened, it was about 10.30 A.M. and by 3 P.M. she was playing out doors as though 12 nothing had ever happened. — Mrs. M. G., Winnipeg, Man. |

681 | 619 | S&H 18 | 0 | fear of truth healed | Show all | 9 A HELPFUL HEALING I became interested in Christian Science about eleven years ago, and was healed of neuralgia of the stomach, 12 from which I had suffered from a child. 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 aloud. 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. |

Feeling that this was God's will, I did not ask to be healed, although I was constantly doctoring. I suffered with dys- 27 pepsia, congestion of the liver, and many other things, including weak eyesight. With all the medicine, and with different changes for rest, I never regained health, 30 and thought I never should, so I prayed for grace to bear my cross patiently for others' sake. One day, while 1 lying on my couch exhausted, which had become a fre- quent experience, the words came to me, "Whatsoever 3 ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive." I rose, knelt down and said, O God, make me well. I was telling a friend this and she kindly gave me a Senti- 6 nel. Imagine my joy when I saw the testimonies of heal- ing! I believed them, remembering our Lord's words, "Blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have be- 9 lieved." I obtained a copy of Science and Health and before a week had passed I realized that if God was my all I needed no glasses. My eyes were healed in a few 12 days, and since then I have never thought of glasses. I was also cured of dyspepsia, and nothing that I have eaten has hurt me since then. The belief in health laws 15 was next destroyed, by knowing that our heavenly Father did not make them, and from this has come the beautiful experience of the overcoming of fatigue. 18 For this alone I can never be thankful enough. True indeed are the words, "They shall run, and not be weary." This was more than a year ago, and I can say that not 21 once have I felt inclined to lie on the couch, nor have I had a headache, although I am doing more work than ever before. Fear has also been overcome in many ways. 24 — A. L., Chelmsford, England. |

She said I must put aside all medicine, and by reading faithfully she knew I could be healed. The book became my constant com- 6 panion, and in a short time I was healed. Besides the relief from an operation, I was completely healed of severe headaches and stomach trouble. Physicians could give 9 me no help for either of these ailments. For ten years I have not used medicine of any kind, and have not missed a Christian Science service on account of sickness during 12 this period. I am perfectly well.

As I read other testimonies and rejoice in them, some one may rejoice in mine. I was healed by reading Science and 18 Health. By applying it, I found it to be the truth that Jesus taught, — the truth that sets free. From childhood I had never known a well day. I 21 was healed of lung trouble of long standing. Con- sumption was hereditary in our family, my mother and three brothers having passed on with it. The law of 24 materia medica said that in a short time I must fol- low them. I also had severe stomach trouble of over eight years' standing, during which time I always re- 27 tired without supper, as the fear of suffering from my food was so great that I denied myself food when hun- gry. For over twenty years I had ovarian trouble, 30 which was almost unbearable at times. It dated from 1 the birth of my first child, and at one time necessitated an operation. I suffered with about all the ills that 3 flesh is heir to: I had trouble with my eyes from a child; wore glasses for fourteen years, several oculists saying I would go blind, one declaring I would be blind in less 6 than a year if I did not submit to an operation, which I refused to do. But thanks be to God whose Truth reached me through 9 the study of our textbook. Words fail to express what Christian Science has done for me in various ways, for my children, my home, my all.

It has been proven to me without a doubt that God is a very present help in trouble, and what a blessed help this wonderful truth is 15 in the training of our children, and how quickly the child grasps it. Some time ago my little girl, then three years old, 18 dislocated her shoulder. I was alone in the house at the time. The pain was so intense that she became faint. I treated her the best I knew how, but kept 21 holding the thought that just as soon as some one came I would run for help. She seemed to grow worse and cried very much. I undressed her and tried to twist 24 the arm into place, but it caused such suffering that I began to get afraid. Then like a flash came the thought, What would you do if you were out of the reach of a prac- 27 titioner? Now is your time to prove God's power and presence. With these thoughts came such a sense of calm and trustfulness that I lost all fear. I then asked 30 the child if I should read to her; she said "Yes, mamma, read the truth-book." I began reading aloud to her from Science and Health. In about half an hour I noticed 1 she tried to lift the arm but screamed and became very pale. I continued to read aloud and again she made 3 an effort to put some candy into her mouth. This time I noticed with joy that she almost reached her mouth before she felt the pain. I kept reading aloud to her 6 until my sister and two boys came in, when she jumped off her bed, so delighted to see her brothers that she for- got her arm. She then began to tell her aunt that she 9 had broken her arm and mamma treated it with the truth- book. When this happened, it was about 10.30 A.M. and by 3 P.M. she was playing out doors as though 12 nothing had ever happened. — Mrs. M. G., Winnipeg, Man. |

I was afflicted with a fibroid tumor which weighed not less than fifty pounds, attended by a continuous hem- 24 orrhage for eleven years. The tumor was a growth of eighteen years. I lived in Fort Worth, Tex., and I had never heard 27 of Christian Science before leaving there for Chicago in the year 1887. I had tried to live near to God, and I feel sure He guided me in all my steps to this heal- 30 ing and saving truth. After being there several weeks 1 I received letters from a Texas lady who had herself been healed, and who wrote urging me to try Christian 3 Science. Changing my boarding-place, I met a lady who owned a copy of Science and Health, and in speaking to her of 6 having seen the book, she informed me she had one, and she got it and told me I could read it. The revelation was marvellous and brought a great spiritual awakening. 9 This awakened sense never left me, and one day when walking alone it came to me very suddenly that I was healed, and I walked the faster declaring every step that 12 I was healed. When I reached my boarding-place, I found my hostess and told her I was healed. She looked the picture of amazement. The tumor began to disap- 15 pear at once, the hemorrhage ceased, and perfect strength was manifest. There was no joy ever greater than mine for this Christ- 18 cure, for I was very weary and heavy laden. I thought very little of either sleeping or eating, and my heart was filled with gratitude, since I knew I had touched the hem 21 of his garment. I must add that the reading of Science and Health, and that alone, healed me, and it was the second copy I ever 24 saw. — S. L., Fort Worth, Tex. |

693 | 696 | S&H 18 | 0 | fibroid tumor healed | Show all | FIBROID TUMOR DESTROYED When quite young I was impressed that the Bible 15 was not properly interpreted by the preachers, for I could not conceive of a God of wrath who was unjust enough to allow His little ones to suffer pain, misery, and 18 death. I had hope, however, that some day the truth would be revealed to an awakening world, but little did I dream that even then there was one of God's noble 21 women who reflected sufficient purity and holiness to entertain the "angel of his presence," and commune with the true God. 24 I was believed to be predisposed to scrofula, so that I was not a strong or attractive child, and my girlhood and womanhood were scarcely ever free from dread of 27 the laws of matter and lack of strength. The climax was reached when a physician informed me, after weeks of treatment, that I had a fibroid tumor, which required 30 an operation. The conditions were most trying and I 1 was heartsick and discouraged when, in January, 1893, I heard of Christian Science through a letter from a dear 3 sister who had been greatly benefited thereby, and I re- solved to go at once to a practitioner, for I believed it to be the long-lost truth that would make me free. It 6 meant a great effort and sacrifice for me to go to Chicago at that time, but divine Love opened the way and I reached there in March. I had been in my sister's home but 9 a few days, reading Science and Health almost con- stantly, when I asked her if I had not better have treatment for the tumor, which had given me so much 12 trouble. She said to me, "You feel well, do you not?" I assured her that I never had felt so well as I had since reaching there. "Well," she said with decision, "your 15 tumor is gone, for God never made it," and her statements were true, for it has never been heard of from that day. Since then I have been healed of chronic sore throat, 18 hay fever, and other troubles, and I know that Christian Science is the truth. — B. W. S., Coldwater, Mich. |

When Christian Science came to me, I was a wreck, physically, 21 mentally, and financially; but since the reading of Sci- ence and Health turned my thought toward the light, I have found that, as far as I am willing to receive the word 24 and live it, all comforts are supplied me. I am especially grateful for the spiritual help. I know that things which I did and thought last year I would not do or think this 27 year, and am satisfied. Through the careful and prayer- ful study of Science and Health I have been lifted from sickness to health, from sorrow to peace, from lack to 30 plenty, and, the most beautiful of all, from darkness to light. — Mrs. H.

Although a constant reader of all kinds of papers 27 and books, I had never heard anything of Christian Sci- ence, except a short notice that spring in a San Francisco newspaper, from an orthodox clergyman, referring to the 30 Christian Science people in not very complimentary style. 1 In Mrs. Eddy's book I came across a great deal of thought that was not readily understood at the first read- 3 ing, but by continued and careful study, and a good deal of help from my knowledge of chemistry and natu- ral philosophy, I soon shook off the belief of sensation 6 in matter, — the so-called elementary substance. One afternoon I put the belt on my circular saw to cut blocks of firewood and also to split a small stick of frame tim- 9 ber. In doing this the stick closed and pinched the saw. I picked up a small wooden wedge and tried to drive it into the saw kerf, but a bit of ice let the stick on to the 12 back of the saw and instantly it flew, with heavy force, into my face, and bouncing off my left cheek fell about twenty feet off on the snow. The blood spattered on the 15 snow next the saw table, and on feeling with my hand there were two wounds, one on the lock of the jaw and another forward, as big as a dollar, on the cheek bone. 18 "Now," I thought to myself, "there is a case of surgery for you," and without further ceremony, I began to treat the case to the best of my knowledge, with the 21 result that the bleeding stopped almost instantly, and so did a thumping pain, which had commenced. I paid no more attention to the matter, but finished my 24 work, and then went to supper. When I washed my face, I felt a big lump on the jawbone where the block of wood struck, but after my usual reading I went to 27 bed and slept all night until near daylight, when a pain on the right side awoke me. On feeling with my hand there was another big lump on the right side, but I 30 treated it and went to sleep again. I never lost an hour from the hurt, although I found out that my jaw was broken. There is no scar, only a little red spot on 1 the cheek, and the lumps on the bone have long since disappeared. 3 In summing up the benefits I have received from the reading of Science and Health, I can but refer to a condition of sickness dating back to the war (1862), 6 when chronic and malignant diarrhoea came near making an end of my material existence. My hearing, also, was seriously impaired from the effect of cannon 9 firing at Shiloh, but it has come back to me, and where I formerly dared not eat an orange, or grapes, I can now eat anything without being hurt.

I am satisfied that I have found Truth. God is indeed to me 24 an ever-present help. My little girl, some ten months old, was afflicted with constipation. It was so severe I dreaded to go 27 out anywhere with her, as I knew not when she would be taken with a convulsion. I had tried all the usual remedies in such cases, but it seemed to grow more ob- 30 stinate. There was a Christian Scientist living in 1 the same house with us, a Scientist who let her light shine, and while she said little, I felt the reflection of 3 Love. I had no knowledge of the teachings of Chris- tian Science, save that God was the physician at all times. In my own way I believed He was all-power- 6 ful, and I said to my husband one day, "I am through with medicine for baby. I am just going to leave her in God's care and see what He will do. I have done 9 all I can." I did as I said, laid my burden at God's feet, and did not pick it up again. In two days the child was perfectly natural, and has since been free 12 from the trouble. She is now six years of age. Some months later a second test came. She woke up at nine o'clock at night crying and holding her ear. There 15 was to sense a gathering. I was alone. I took up my Science and Health and Bible, but the more I worked the louder she screamed. Error kept suggesting ma- 18 terial remedies, but I said firmly: "No; I shall not go back to error. God will help me." Just then I thought of my own fear, how excessive it was, and a conversation 21 I had with the Scientist who first voiced the truth to me, came to mind. She said she always found it helpful to treat herself and cast out her own fear before treat- 24 ing a patient. I put baby down and again took up my Science and Health, and these were the words I read: — 27 "Every trial of our faith in God makes us stronger. The more difficult seems the material condition to be overcome by Spirit, the stronger should be our faith 30 and the purer our love. The Apostle John says: 'There is no fear in Love, but perfect Love casteth out fear' " (Science and Health, p. 410). I looked up, the crying 1 had ceased, the child was smiling, and in a few minutes asked to be put to bed. There has been no further 3 trouble of that kind. I have since seen the power of Truth overcome error of many forms, including croup, whooping-cough, ton- 6 silitis, etc. I am thankful for all these proofs, but far more grateful am I for the spiritual teaching to love, to forgive, to curb my tongue, and cease my criticism. 9 — M.

After some opposition, I decided to in- 3 vestigate it, with the thought that if this teaching would be helpful, it was meant for me as well as for others; if it did not afford any help, I could put it aside again, but 6 that I would find out and be convinced. After I had read Mrs. Eddy's work, Science and Health, a few days, I found that my ailments had disappeared, 9 and a rest had come to me which I had never before known. I had smoked almost incessantly, although I had often determined to use my will power and never smoke again, 12 but had always failed. This desire as well as the de- sire for drink simply disappeared, and I wish to say here, that I received all these benefits before I had gained much 15 understanding of what I was reading. Like a prisoner, who had been in chains for years, I was suddenly set free. I did not then know how the chain had been removed, 18 but I had to acknowledge that it came through the reading of this book. I then felt an ardent desire to read more, and to know what this power was that had freed me 21 in a few days of that which I had been trying for years to shake off and had failed. It then became clear to me that this was the truth which Jesus Christ taught 24 and preached to free humanity almost two thousand years ago. It did not, however, occur to me to apply it in my business affairs; on the contrary, I first thought 27 that if I continued in my study I would have to retire from business. This did not happen, however, for I gradually found 30 that the little understanding of this wonderful teach- ing which I had acquired became a great help to me in my business. I became more friendly, more honest, 1 more loving to my fellow-men; and I also acquired better judgment and was able to do the right thing at the right 3 time. As a natural result my business improved. Be- fore I knew anything of Christian Science my business had often been a burden to me, fear and worry deprived 6 me of my rest. How different it is now! Through the study of the Bible, which now possesses unmeasurable treasures for me, and of our textbook, Science and Health, 9 and the other works of our Leader, I receive peace and confidence in God and that insight into character which is necessary for the correct management of any business. 12 — W.

After some opposition, I decided to in- 3 vestigate it, with the thought that if this teaching would be helpful, it was meant for me as well as for others; if it did not afford any help, I could put it aside again, but 6 that I would find out and be convinced. After I had read Mrs. Eddy's work, Science and Health, a few days, I found that my ailments had disappeared, 9 and a rest had come to me which I had never before known. I had smoked almost incessantly, although I had often determined to use my will power and never smoke again, 12 but had always failed. This desire as well as the de- sire for drink simply disappeared, and I wish to say here, that I received all these benefits before I had gained much 15 understanding of what I was reading. Like a prisoner, who had been in chains for years, I was suddenly set free. I did not then know how the chain had been removed, 18 but I had to acknowledge that it came through the reading of this book. I then felt an ardent desire to read more, and to know what this power was that had freed me 21 in a few days of that which I had been trying for years to shake off and had failed. It then became clear to me that this was the truth which Jesus Christ taught 24 and preached to free humanity almost two thousand years ago. It did not, however, occur to me to apply it in my business affairs; on the contrary, I first thought 27 that if I continued in my study I would have to retire from business. This did not happen, however, for I gradually found 30 that the little understanding of this wonderful teach- ing which I had acquired became a great help to me in my business. I became more friendly, more honest, 1 more loving to my fellow-men; and I also acquired better judgment and was able to do the right thing at the right 3 time. As a natural result my business improved. Be- fore I knew anything of Christian Science my business had often been a burden to me, fear and worry deprived 6 me of my rest. How different it is now! Through the study of the Bible, which now possesses unmeasurable treasures for me, and of our textbook, Science and Health, 9 and the other works of our Leader, I receive peace and confidence in God and that insight into character which is necessary for the correct management of any business. 12 — W. H. H., Bloomfield, Neb. |

While visiting friends in the southwestern part of On- 18 tario, about three years ago, my attention was called to Christian Science and the wonderful healing it was doing. I had lived in New York for twenty-five years, 21 but had never heard of Christian Science before, to my recollection. Up to that time, for seventeen years, I had suffered 24 with indigestion and gastritis in the worst form, often being overcome from a seeming pressure against the heart. I had asthma for four years, also had worn glasses for 27 four years. It seemed to me that I had swallowed every known medicine to relieve my indigestion, but they only gave me temporary benefit. I purchased a copy of Sci- 30 ence and Health, and simply from the reading of that 1 grand book I was completely healed of all my physical ailments in two weeks' time. I have used no medi- 3 cine from that day to this, and with God's help, and the wonderful light revealed to me through the reading of Mrs. Eddy's book, I never expect to again. I used 6 to smoke eight or ten cigars a day, and also took an occasional drink, but the desire for these has gone, — I feel forever. I travel on the road, and am constantly 9 being invited to indulge, but it is no effort to abstain, and in many instances I find that my refusal helps others. 12 While I fully appreciate the release from my physical troubles, this pales into insignificance in comparison with the spiritual uplifting Christian Science has brought me. 15 I had not been inside a church for more than ten years, to attend regular services, until I entered a Christian Science church. What I saw and realized there, seemed 18 so genuine that I loved Christian Science from the very start. I have never taken a treatment, — every inch of the way has been through study and practical demon- 21 stration, and I know that all can do the same thing if they will try. Since I have been in Science I have overcome a case of 24 ulcerated tooth in one night through the reading of Science and Health; also a severe attack of grip in thirty-six hours by obeying the Scripture saying, "Physician, heal thy- 27 self." — B. H. N., New York, N. Y. |

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. |

For these I had been treated by some of the best specialists in my native land, and after coming to the United States I had been doctored 6 much and had worn glasses for four years. I also had catarrh, for which I had taken much medicine without being relieved. In addition to this I was an excessive 9 smoker, using tobacco in some form almost constantly. I had contracted a smoker's heart, and used liquors freely. 12 The one who brought to me that which I now prize so highly, was a book agent. I told him that I should be forced to leave my trade on account of my eyes. 15 He then told me of having been healed of a cancer, through Christian Science treatment. He showed me a copy of Science and Health, which had the signs of 18 much use, and after being assured that if I did my part I would be healed of all my diseases, I sent for a copy of the book. 21 My recovery was very rapid, for after reading the book only three weeks I was completely healed of the tobacco habit. I will say, in regard to this healing, 24 that it did not require even as much as a resolution on my part. I was smoking a cigar, while reading Science and Health, when all the desire to continue 27 smoking left me, and I have never had a desire to use tobacco in any form since then. My eyes were the next to manifest the influence of the new knowledge 30 gained, and had soon so far recovered that I could go about my work with ease, and I have had no more use for glasses. To-day my heart is normal, the catarrh 1 has totally disappeared, and I am not addicted to the use of liquor. 3 Christian Science has proved to be an ever-present help, not only in overcoming physical ailments, but in business and daily life. It has also overcome a great 6 sense of fear. The Bible, which I regarded with suspicion, has become my guide, and Christianity has become a sweet reality, because the Christian Science 9 textbook has indeed been a "Key to the Scriptures" and has breathed through the Gospel pages a sweet sense of harmony. — A. F., Sioux City, Iowa. |

From infancy I had been devoted to my church, and as soon as I was old enough I was ever active in the work. Feeling it to 18 be my duty to attend every service held in my own church, I took advantage of the Wednesday evening meetings. My first visit was not my last, I am thank- 21 ful to say, for I saw immediately that these people not only preached Christianity, but practised and lived it. At that time I was wearing glasses and had worn 24 them for sixteen years. At times I suffered the most intense pain, and for this phase of the trouble, one specialist after another had been consulted. All gave 27 me very much the same advice; each one urged ex- treme carefulness and gave me glasses that seemed to relieve for a time. None of them held out any hope 30 that my sight would ever be restored, saying that the 1 defect had existed since infancy, and that in time I should be blind. 3 The thought of blindness was very distressing to me, but I tried to bear it with Christian resignation, since I thought that God had seen fit to afflict me; but since 6 I have learned that He is a loving Father, who gives only good, I regret that I ever charged Him with my affliction. I had no treatment, but I read Science and 9 Health, and my eyes were healed and glasses laid aside. I can never find words to express my thanks to our dear Leader, through whose teachings my sight has been re- 12 gained. I can truthfully say that "whereas I was blind, now I see" — through an understanding of Truth I have found my sight perfect as God gave it. — Miss 15 B. S., Wilmington, N. C. |

If one studies just one of these seven, then they are looking at one particular view of God. As one studies others, a more complete view appears in one’s consciousness. There are four sides to the city of God which are considered operators. In mathematics, the operators are add, subtract, multiply and divide. The operators of the system of divine metaphysics are named Word, Christ, Christianity and Science. Since God is infinite, it is obvious the above is only a short summary for describing the nature of God. |

While visiting friends in the southwestern part of On- 18 tario, about three years ago, my attention was called to Christian Science and the wonderful healing it was doing. I had lived in New York for twenty-five years, 21 but had never heard of Christian Science before, to my recollection. Up to that time, for seventeen years, I had suffered 24 with indigestion and gastritis in the worst form, often being overcome from a seeming pressure against the heart. I had asthma for four years, also had worn glasses for 27 four years. It seemed to me that I had swallowed every known medicine to relieve my indigestion, but they only gave me temporary benefit. I purchased a copy of Sci- 30 ence and Health, and simply from the reading of that 1 grand book I was completely healed of all my physical ailments in two weeks' time. I have used no medi- 3 cine from that day to this, and with God's help, and the wonderful light revealed to me through the reading of Mrs. Eddy's book, I never expect to again. I used 6 to smoke eight or ten cigars a day, and also took an occasional drink, but the desire for these has gone, — I feel forever. I travel on the road, and am constantly 9 being invited to indulge, but it is no effort to abstain, and in many instances I find that my refusal helps others. 12 While I fully appreciate the release from my physical troubles, this pales into insignificance in comparison with the spiritual uplifting Christian Science has brought me. 15 I had not been inside a church for more than ten years, to attend regular services, until I entered a Christian Science church. What I saw and realized there, seemed 18 so genuine that I loved Christian Science from the very start. I have never taken a treatment, — every inch of the way has been through study and practical demon- 21 stration, and I know that all can do the same thing if they will try. Since I have been in Science I have overcome a case of 24 ulcerated tooth in one night through the reading of Science and Health; also a severe attack of grip in thirty-six hours by obeying the Scripture saying, "Physician, heal thy- 27 self." — B. H. N., New York, N. Y. |

During 18 this time I had three good doctors treating me. I gained a little in strength, but had very little relief from the stomach trouble. I was recommended to try mineral 21 springs and did so, but with the same disappointment. I went to a sanitarium, but yet the stomach trouble pre- vailed. I had some friends who recommended patent 24 medicines, but no healing came. I worried along in this way for several years. Finally I read medicine nearly two years with a good doctor 27 friend, especially for my own benefit, and during this time I had a severe attack of bladder trouble, and for fifteen years I suffered so severely at times that I thought 30 life was not really worth living. In connection with these 1 troubles I suffered every winter with rheumatism and the grip. I also had a growth coming on both eyes called 3 cataract, which caused my eyes to be inflamed nearly all the time, and this growth had made such progress that it was causing my vision to be very dim when read- 6 ing. Corns were not forgotten, as I was reminded of them very frequently, and for all these troubles I had tried every remedy I heard of that I was able to get, specialists 9 included, without relief. Thanks to a friend who took me in this hopeless, dis- couraged condition and led me to the light that never 12 knows darkness, I got a copy of Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy and was healed in a short time by reading this work. — D.

No “ selfish ” growth, every idea works in harmony with every other idea, carrying out the loving purposes of God. No independent growth, all life is dependent on God, every single idea is controlled by God, loving omnipotence. “ Growth is governed by intelligence ; by the active, all-wise, law-creating, law-disciplining, law-abiding Principle, God” (Mary Baker Eddy). |

I had hope, however, that some day the truth would be revealed to an awakening world, but little did I dream that even then there was one of God's noble 21 women who reflected sufficient purity and holiness to entertain the "angel of his presence," and commune with the true God. 24 I was believed to be predisposed to scrofula, so that I was not a strong or attractive child, and my girlhood and womanhood were scarcely ever free from dread of 27 the laws of matter and lack of strength. The climax was reached when a physician informed me, after weeks of treatment, that I had a fibroid tumor, which required 30 an operation. The conditions were most trying and I 1 was heartsick and discouraged when, in January, 1893, I heard of Christian Science through a letter from a dear 3 sister who had been greatly benefited thereby, and I re- solved to go at once to a practitioner, for I believed it to be the long-lost truth that would make me free. It 6 meant a great effort and sacrifice for me to go to Chicago at that time, but divine Love opened the way and I reached there in March. I had been in my sister's home but 9 a few days, reading Science and Health almost con- stantly, when I asked her if I had not better have treatment for the tumor, which had given me so much 12 trouble. She said to me, "You feel well, do you not?" I assured her that I never had felt so well as I had since reaching there. "Well," she said with decision, "your 15 tumor is gone, for God never made it," and her statements were true, for it has never been heard of from that day. Since then I have been healed of chronic sore throat, 18 hay fever, and other troubles, and I know that Christian Science is the truth. — B. W. S., Coldwater, Mich. |

In May, 1902, going home for lunch, on a bicycle, and while riding down a hill at a 27 rapid gait, I was thrown from the wheel, and falling on my left side with my arm under my head, the bone was broken about half-way between the shoulder and 30 elbow. While the pain was intense, I lay still in the dust, 1 declaring the truth and denying that there could be a break or accident in the realm of divine Love, 3 until a gentleman came to assist me, saying, he thought I had been stunned. I was only two and a half blocks from home, so I mounted my wheel again 6 and managed to reach it. On arriving there I lay down and asked my little boy to bring me our text- book. He immediately brought Science and Health, 9 which I read for about ten minutes, when all pain left. I said nothing to my family of the accident, but at- tended to some duties and was about half an hour late 12 in returning to the office, this being my only loss of time from work. My friends claimed that the arm had not been broken, as it would have been impossible for me to 15 continue my work without having it set, and carrying it in a sling until the bone knit together. Their insistence almost persuaded me that I might have been mistaken, 18 until one of my friends invited me to visit a physician's office where they were experimenting with an X-ray ma- chine. The physician was asked to examine my left 21 arm to see if it differed from the ordinary. On look- ing through it, he said, "Yes, it has been broken, but whoever set it made a perfect job of it, and you will 24 never have any further trouble from that break." My friend then asked the doctor to show how he could tell where the break had been. The doctor pointed 27 out the place as being slightly thicker at that part, like a piece of steel that had been welded. This was the first of several cases of mental surgery that 30 have come under my notice, and it made a deep impression on me. 1 For the benefit of others who may have something similar to meet, I will say that I have overcome almost 3 constant attacks of sick headaches, extending back to my earliest recollection. — L.

847 | 653 | S&H 18 | 0 | headache healed | Show all | GRATEFUL FOR MANY BLESSINGS 9 In 1894 I began the study of Christian Science. At that time I was greatly in need of its healing truth. For a number of years previous I had been a semi- 12 invalid with no hope of ever being well and strong again. Several years before this time I had undergone an operation which resulted in peritonitis. For three 15 years previous to my study of Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy, I was scarcely ever free from headache caused by the weakened and diseased condition of the 18 internal organs. At the time I began the study of Christian Science I was taking five kinds of medicine. I began to read Science and Health, and did not 21 take treatment, for I thought, "If this is truth, I shall be healed; if it is not, I shall be able to detect it, and will have nothing to do with it." I became a 24 devoted student and gradually my bodily diseases left me, — I was free, and since that time, nearly ten years ago, neither my two children nor myself have 27 taken any medicine; and our understanding of truth has been able to meet and overcome any suggestion of illness. 30 I was a devoted member of an orthodox church, 1 but as I grew older I began to question my beliefs, and to my questions I could find no satisfactory an- 3 swer. I became dissatisfied and finally ceased attend- ing church. I could not accept the idea of God taught there, and at last my friends looked sadly upon me as 6 an atheist. There I stood until I learned to know God as revealed in Science and Health, and then all my questionings were answered. In my girlhood I had 9 always prayed to the God I held in mind, and when the shadows of sickness, pain, and death came to my family, I prayed as only those can who know that if 12 He helps not, there is none; but my prayers were unanswered. Then I closed my Bible, saying, "There is a mistake somewhere, perhaps some time I may 15 know." Only those who know the attitude of mind that I was in can understand the joy that came to me as I 18 began to learn of God in Christian Science, and of my relation to Him. Many proofs of the healing power of Truth and of 21 His protecting care throng my thoughts. Seven years ago, when we were in a far distant country, where Christian Science was then unknown, my little daughter 24 came in one morning from her school, saying, "Mother, I have measles; twenty of the girls are sick in bed and I am afraid they will put me there also." Her face, hands, 27 and chest were covered with a deep red rash, throat sore, and eyes inflamed. We began immediately to do our work in Science and at night, when I left her at the door of the 30 college, her face was clear, her eyes bright, and all fear destroyed. That was the end of the disease. — F. M. P., Boston, Mass. |

848 | 678 | S&H 18 | 0 | headache healed | Show all | When Christian Science first came to me, or rather, when I first came to Christian Science, I did not have a very bad opinion of myself. I thought I was a pretty good fellow. I had no religious views. I seemed to be getting along as well as, if not better than, some who professed Christianity. So I drifted along until I was led to investigate Christian Science. As I progressed in the understanding as gained from the study of both Science and Health and the Bible, and commenced to know myself, I found that a great change had been wrought in me. For fifteen years I had used tobacco, both chewing and smoking; for ten years I had been a victim of the drink habit, sometimes to excess; I was also addicted to profanity. Christian Science removed these appetites. A stomach trouble and other lesser ills, such as headache, a bad temper, an inordinate love of money, etc., disappeared under the same benign influence. Those things that seemed to be pleasure do not give me pleasure now. They were not real pleasure. I have lost nothing, I have sacrificed nothing; but I have gained everything, and not yet the whole, for I can see plenty yet to be done. The condition of mind before investigating and after is as different as black and white. As Mrs. Eddy says, "Not matter, but Mind, satisfieth. - G. B. P., Henry, S. D. |

At that time my daughter was given up by materia medica to die of lingering consumption, supposed to have 21 been inherited. My own condition seemed even more alarming, as insanity was being manifested, and rather than go to an insane asylum, it seemed to me the only 24 thing to do was to commit suicide. Heart trouble, kid- ney complaint, and continual headaches caused from female trouble were some of the many ailments I had 27 to contend with. My doctor tried to persuade me to undergo an operation as a means of relief, but I had submitted to a severe operation ten years previous, and 30 found only additional suffering as a result, so I would not consent. 1 When I began with Science and Health, I read the chapter on "Prayer" first, and at that time did not sup- 3 pose it possible for me to remember anything I read, but felt a sweet sense of God's protection and power, and a hope that I should at last find Him to be what 6 I so much needed, — a present help in time of trouble. Before that chapter on "Prayer" was finished, my daugh- ter was downstairs eating three meals a day, and daily 9 growing stronger. Before I had finished reading the textbook she was well, but never having heard that the reading of Science and Health healed any one, it was 12 several months before I gave God the glory. One by one my many ailments left me, all but the head- aches; they were less frequent, until at the end of three 15 years the fear of them was entirely overcome. Neither myself nor my daughter have ever received treatments, but the study of the Bible and Science and 18 Health, the Christian Science textbook by Mrs. Eddy, has healed us and keeps us well. While Christian Science was very new to me, I at- 21 tended an experience meeting in First Church of Christ, Scientist, Chicago. A gentleman told of an unhappy woman who was about to separate from her husband. 24 This gentleman had asked her if she did not love her husband. She replied, "No; when I married him I did, but not now." He told her God made man in His 27 image and likeness, and that He is perfect. He said to her, "Go home and see only God's perfect man; you don't need to love a sinful mortal such as you have been 30 looking upon." The lady followed his advice, as he told her there is no separation in divine Mind. In a short time peace and harmony were in her home, and 1 both husband and wife became members of a Christian Science church. 3 This testimony was like a message from heaven to me. I had received many benefits from the study of Science and Health, but it had never dawned upon my darkened 6 consciousness till then how wonderful our God is. I knew what had taken place in that home could take place in my unhappy home where there was neither rest nor 9 peace. I hopefully took up my cross, and step by step my burden grew lighter, as I journeyed along, realizing the 12 presence of the Christ, Truth, that indeed makes us free. Not all at once did any outward change appear, but at the end of three years all was peace, all the 15 members of the family attending church together and realizing that there is but one Mind. — E.

She said I must put aside all medicine, and by reading faithfully she knew I could be healed. The book became my constant com- 6 panion, and in a short time I was healed. Besides the relief from an operation, I was completely healed of severe headaches and stomach trouble. Physicians could give 9 me no help for either of these ailments. For ten years I have not used medicine of any kind, and have not missed a Christian Science service on account of sickness during 12 this period. I am perfectly well. To say that I am grate- ful to God for all this does not express my feelings. The physical healing was wonderful, but the understanding 15 given me of God, and the ability to help others out- weigh all else. I also love our dear Leader. — Mrs. V. I. B., Concord, N. H. |

The constant use of glasses, which were apparently a necessity to me for years, was proven needless, and they were laid 18 aside. Mrs. Eddy has made Scripture reading a never- failing well of comfort to me. By her interpretation "the way of the Lord" is made straight to me and 21 mine. It aids us in our daily overcoming of the tyr- anny of the flesh and its rebellion against the blessed leading of Christ, Truth. The daily study of the Bible 24 and our textbook is bringing more and more into our con- sciousness the power of God unto salvation. — J. C., Manatee, Fla. |

I was a very unhappy, discontented woman; I 21 had kidney disease, besides sore eyes, and my general health was very bad. The doctor said that the climate did not suit me, and that I certainly should have a change. 24 The best thing, he said, was to go back to France (my own country); but I did not like to leave the school, so I struggled on until July, when we went travelling for a 27 month, but I came home worse than ever. I had a lot of worry, one disappointment after another, and I often thought that life was not worth living. In September, 30 1904, we heard for the first time of Christian Science 1 through a girl who was attending our boarding-school, and who was healed through Christian Science treatment. 3 We bought the textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mrs. Eddy, and what a revelation it was and is to us; it is indeed the fountain of Truth. I 6 had read Science and Health but a very short time when I took off my glasses, began to sleep well, and soon found myself well in mind and body. Besides this, it has brought 9 harmony into our school, where there had been discord, and everything is changed for the better. I cannot de- scribe the happiness that has come to me through Chris- 12 tian Science; I can only exclaim with the psalmist: "Bless the Lord, O my soul;" and may God bless Mrs. Eddy. My one aim now is to live Christian Science, not in words 15 only, but in deeds; loving God more and my neighbor as myself, and following meekly and obediently all our Leader's teachings. Words cannot express my gratitude 18 to Mrs. Eddy for Christian Science. — S. A. K., Van- couver, B. C. |

Feeling that this was God's will, I did not ask to be healed, although I was constantly doctoring. I suffered with dys- 27 pepsia, congestion of the liver, and many other things, including weak eyesight. With all the medicine, and with different changes for rest, I never regained health, 30 and thought I never should, so I prayed for grace to bear my cross patiently for others' sake. One day, while 1 lying on my couch exhausted, which had become a fre- quent experience, the words came to me, "Whatsoever 3 ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive." I rose, knelt down and said, O God, make me well. I was telling a friend this and she kindly gave me a Senti- 6 nel. Imagine my joy when I saw the testimonies of heal- ing! I believed them, remembering our Lord's words, "Blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have be- 9 lieved." I obtained a copy of Science and Health and before a week had passed I realized that if God was my all I needed no glasses. My eyes were healed in a few 12 days, and since then I have never thought of glasses. I was also cured of dyspepsia, and nothing that I have eaten has hurt me since then. The belief in health laws 15 was next destroyed, by knowing that our heavenly Father did not make them, and from this has come the beautiful experience of the overcoming of fatigue. 18 For this alone I can never be thankful enough. True indeed are the words, "They shall run, and not be weary." This was more than a year ago, and I can say that not 21 once have I felt inclined to lie on the couch, nor have I had a headache, although I am doing more work than ever before. Fear has also been overcome in many ways. 24 — A. L., Chelmsford, England. |

I lived, however, although there was not much improvement in my health. Travel and change 6 of climate brought only temporary relief, and the physi- cians gave me no hope that I would ever be well. As a last resort I began the study of Science and 9 Health, and before I had finished reading the book I realized that its author was divinely commissioned to bring this spiritual message to a waiting world. Through 12 this reading my health was restored, and I was healed of one disease that has been called incurable by all physicians. 15 For this, together with the greater and higher bless- ing of having the spiritual fact of being unfolded to me, I am most grateful. 18 What shall be rendered for such benefits received and made possible by the consecrated life of our revered Leader? Only by following the teachings of our text- 21 book, and by loving obedience to her gentle and timely admonitions can we show our true sense of gratitude. — F. H. D., De Funiak Springs, Fla. |

864 | 667 | S&H 18 | 0 | health restored healed | Show all | BORN AGAIN It was in April, 1904, that I first heard the "still, 21 small voice" of the Christ and received healing through Christian Science; and the blessings have been so many since, that it would take too much space to 24 name them. Reared from childhood in an intellectual atmosphere, my paternal grandfather having been an orthodox minister of the old school for forty years, 27 and my father a deep student, ever seeking for the truth of all things, I began early to ponder and to study into the meaning of life, and came to the con- 30 clusion before I was twenty that though God probably 1 existed in some remote place, still it was impossible to connect Him with my present living. My highest 3 creed, therefore, became, "Do right because it is right and not for fear of being punished." Then began the suffering. Sorrow after sorrow followed each other 6 in rapid succession; for ten long years there was no rest, the road was indeed long and hard and had no turning, until finally the one thing that had stood by 9 me all through the trials, namely, my health, gave way, and with that went my last hope. But the last hour of the night had come, the dawn of day was at 12 hand; a dear friend left Science and Health upon my piano one day, saying that I would gain much good by reading it. 15 Glad to get away from my own poor thoughts, I opened the "little book" and began to read. I had read only a short time when such a wonderful trans- 18 formation took place! I was renewed; born again. Mere words cannot tell the story of the mighty up- lifting that carried me to the very gates of heaven. 21 When I began to read the book, life was a burden, but before I had finished reading it the first time, I was doing all my housework and doing it easily; and since that 24 glorious day I have been a well woman. My health is splendid, and I am striving to let my light so shine that others may be led to the truth. There have been 27 some mighty struggles with error, and I have learned that we cannot reach heaven with one long stride or easily drift inside the gate, but that the "asking" and 30 the "seeking" and the "knocking" must be earnest and persistent. For a long time I was always looking back to see if 1 the error had gone, until one day when I realized that to catch a glimpse of what spiritual sense means 3 I must put corporeal sense behind me. I then set to work in earnest to find the true way. I opened Science and Health and these words were before me, 6 "If God were understood, instead of being merely be- lieved, this understanding would establish health" (p. 203). I saw that I must get the right understanding of God! 9 I closed the book and with head bowed in prayer I waited with longing intensity for some answer. How long I waited I do not know, but suddenly, like a won- 12 derful burst of sunlight after a storm, came clearly this thought, "Be still, and know that I am God." I held my breath — deep into my hungering thought 15 sank the infinite meaning of that "I." All self- conceit, egotism, selfishness, everything that constitutes the mortal "I," sank abashed out of sight. I trod, as 18 it were, on holy ground. Words are inadequate to con- vey the fulness of that spiritual uplifting, but others who have had similar experiences will understand. 21 From that hour I have had an intelligent consciousness of the ever-presence of an infinite God who is only good. — C.

Although a constant reader of all kinds of papers 27 and books, I had never heard anything of Christian Sci- ence, except a short notice that spring in a San Francisco newspaper, from an orthodox clergyman, referring to the 30 Christian Science people in not very complimentary style. 1 In Mrs. Eddy's book I came across a great deal of thought that was not readily understood at the first read- 3 ing, but by continued and careful study, and a good deal of help from my knowledge of chemistry and natu- ral philosophy, I soon shook off the belief of sensation 6 in matter, — the so-called elementary substance. One afternoon I put the belt on my circular saw to cut blocks of firewood and also to split a small stick of frame tim- 9 ber. In doing this the stick closed and pinched the saw. I picked up a small wooden wedge and tried to drive it into the saw kerf, but a bit of ice let the stick on to the 12 back of the saw and instantly it flew, with heavy force, into my face, and bouncing off my left cheek fell about twenty feet off on the snow. The blood spattered on the 15 snow next the saw table, and on feeling with my hand there were two wounds, one on the lock of the jaw and another forward, as big as a dollar, on the cheek bone. 18 "Now," I thought to myself, "there is a case of surgery for you," and without further ceremony, I began to treat the case to the best of my knowledge, with the 21 result that the bleeding stopped almost instantly, and so did a thumping pain, which had commenced. I paid no more attention to the matter, but finished my 24 work, and then went to supper. When I washed my face, I felt a big lump on the jawbone where the block of wood struck, but after my usual reading I went to 27 bed and slept all night until near daylight, when a pain on the right side awoke me. On feeling with my hand there was another big lump on the right side, but I 30 treated it and went to sleep again. I never lost an hour from the hurt, although I found out that my jaw was broken. There is no scar, only a little red spot on 1 the cheek, and the lumps on the bone have long since disappeared. 3 In summing up the benefits I have received from the reading of Science and Health, I can but refer to a condition of sickness dating back to the war (1862), 6 when chronic and malignant diarrhoea came near making an end of my material existence. My hearing, also, was seriously impaired from the effect of cannon 9 firing at Shiloh, but it has come back to me, and where I formerly dared not eat an orange, or grapes, I can now eat anything without being hurt. My peace of mind 12 is giving me a rest which I never experienced before during my life, and I have ceased to look away off for the divine presence that was always near, though I did 15 not know it. — L.

At that time my daughter was given up by materia medica to die of lingering consumption, supposed to have 21 been inherited. My own condition seemed even more alarming, as insanity was being manifested, and rather than go to an insane asylum, it seemed to me the only 24 thing to do was to commit suicide. Heart trouble, kid- ney complaint, and continual headaches caused from female trouble were some of the many ailments I had 27 to contend with. My doctor tried to persuade me to undergo an operation as a means of relief, but I had submitted to a severe operation ten years previous, and 30 found only additional suffering as a result, so I would not consent. 1 When I began with Science and Health, I read the chapter on "Prayer" first, and at that time did not sup- 3 pose it possible for me to remember anything I read, but felt a sweet sense of God's protection and power, and a hope that I should at last find Him to be what 6 I so much needed, — a present help in time of trouble. Before that chapter on "Prayer" was finished, my daugh- ter was downstairs eating three meals a day, and daily 9 growing stronger. Before I had finished reading the textbook she was well, but never having heard that the reading of Science and Health healed any one, it was 12 several months before I gave God the glory. One by one my many ailments left me, all but the head- aches; they were less frequent, until at the end of three 15 years the fear of them was entirely overcome. Neither myself nor my daughter have ever received treatments, but the study of the Bible and Science and 18 Health, the Christian Science textbook by Mrs. Eddy, has healed us and keeps us well. While Christian Science was very new to me, I at- 21 tended an experience meeting in First Church of Christ, Scientist, Chicago. A gentleman told of an unhappy woman who was about to separate from her husband. 24 This gentleman had asked her if she did not love her husband. She replied, "No; when I married him I did, but not now." He told her God made man in His 27 image and likeness, and that He is perfect. He said to her, "Go home and see only God's perfect man; you don't need to love a sinful mortal such as you have been 30 looking upon." The lady followed his advice, as he told her there is no separation in divine Mind. In a short time peace and harmony were in her home, and 1 both husband and wife became members of a Christian Science church. 3 This testimony was like a message from heaven to me. I had received many benefits from the study of Science and Health, but it had never dawned upon my darkened 6 consciousness till then how wonderful our God is. I knew what had taken place in that home could take place in my unhappy home where there was neither rest nor 9 peace. I hopefully took up my cross, and step by step my burden grew lighter, as I journeyed along, realizing the 12 presence of the Christ, Truth, that indeed makes us free. Not all at once did any outward change appear, but at the end of three years all was peace, all the 15 members of the family attending church together and realizing that there is but one Mind. — E.

For these I had been treated by some of the best specialists in my native land, and after coming to the United States I had been doctored 6 much and had worn glasses for four years. I also had catarrh, for which I had taken much medicine without being relieved. In addition to this I was an excessive 9 smoker, using tobacco in some form almost constantly. I had contracted a smoker's heart, and used liquors freely. 12 The one who brought to me that which I now prize so highly, was a book agent. I told him that I should be forced to leave my trade on account of my eyes. 15 He then told me of having been healed of a cancer, through Christian Science treatment. He showed me a copy of Science and Health, which had the signs of 18 much use, and after being assured that if I did my part I would be healed of all my diseases, I sent for a copy of the book. 21 My recovery was very rapid, for after reading the book only three weeks I was completely healed of the tobacco habit. I will say, in regard to this healing, 24 that it did not require even as much as a resolution on my part. I was smoking a cigar, while reading Science and Health, when all the desire to continue 27 smoking left me, and I have never had a desire to use tobacco in any form since then. My eyes were the next to manifest the influence of the new knowledge 30 gained, and had soon so far recovered that I could go about my work with ease, and I have had no more use for glasses. To-day my heart is normal, the catarrh 1 has totally disappeared, and I am not addicted to the use of liquor. 3 Christian Science has proved to be an ever-present help, not only in overcoming physical ailments, but in business and daily life. It has also overcome a great 6 sense of fear. The Bible, which I regarded with suspicion, has become my guide, and Christianity has become a sweet reality, because the Christian Science 9 textbook has indeed been a "Key to the Scriptures" and has breathed through the Gospel pages a sweet sense of harmony. — A.

When able to be around, I walked with 24 the assistance of a cane. The attacks were periodical, recurring every few months; any exposure to rain or dampness would bring one. At one time I was in bed 27 eleven weeks, suffering intensely all the time except when relieved by hypodermic injections. When I had these attacks, my regular physician was always in attendance. 30 My daughter consulted another physician, who said there 1 would have to be an operation which would include the exposing and scraping of the sciatic nerve. There 3 was also another physician who, knowing of the case, examined my heart and claimed that it was weak and that I was liable to pass on at any time from heart 6 trouble. After suffering three years I heard of Christian Science, but did not avail myself of it for two years, when I de- 9 cided to give up all other means and rely wholly upon it. It was not convenient to call a practitioner, so I took Science and Health and applied its teachings as best 12 I could. In three days the trouble completely left me and there has never been the slightest return. My health has been good ever since, and I am at present 15 in perfect physical health. I have been benefited in every way by Christian Science, physically, mentally, and spiritually, and would not be without my understand- 18 ing of it for anything. — Mrs. E. A. K., Billings, Mont. |

I had never been a strong girl; had always been subject to colds and chills, and suffered all my 21 life from a delicate throat. Seven years ago I had a very severe attack of rheumatic fever and subsequently two less severe ones. These left all sorts of evils be- 24 hind them, — debility, chronic constipation, and several others, so that with these ills my life was often a burden to me and I used to think I never should re- 27 ceive relief or health. I had also lost all love for God and faith in Him. I could not accept a God who, as I then believed, visited sickness and sorrow upon 30 His children as a means for drawing them to Him. 1 I was in this state of mind and body when Christian Science found me. A dear friend, seeing my suffering, 3 presented the truth to me, and though at first I did not believe that there could be healing for me, the Chris- tian Scientists' God seemed to be the one I had been 6 looking for all my life. I began to read Science and Health, and shall never forget my joy at finding that I could love and trust God. I took to studying the 9 Bible, and read nothing but Science and Health and other Christian Science literature for a year. After studying the "little book" for about six weeks, I one 12 day realized that I was a well woman, that I had taken no medicine for three weeks, and that my body was perfectly harmonious. The reading of Science and 15 Health had healed me. The wonderful joy and spirit- ual uplifting which came to me then no words of mine can describe. I had also suffered from astigmatism 18 and had for several years been obliged to use special glasses when reading or working, and could never use my eyes for more than half an hour; but from the first 21 reading of Science and Health I found that I could read in any light and for any length of time without the slight- est discomfort. I am not only grateful for the physi- 24 cal healing but for the mental regeneration. I rejoice that I am now able to help others who are sick and sor- rowing. — E. E.

The originals are in the possession of the Editor, who can authenticate the testimonials which follow. RHEUMATISM HEALED 12 I was a great sufferer from a serious form of rheumatic trouble, my hands being affected to such an extent that it was impossible for me even to dress without assistance. 15 The trouble finally reached the knees, and I became very lame and had to be assisted in and out of bed. I went to the different health resorts for the benefit I hoped to 18 derive from the baths and waters that were prescribed by 1 physicians, but found no permanent relief. I was placed under an X-ray examination, and was told that the joints 3 were becoming ossified. I then consulted a celebrated specialist, who after a thorough examination said my condition would continue to grow worse and that I would 6 become completely helpless. At that time a copy of "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mrs. Eddy was loaned me. I read it 9 more from curiosity than with the thought of any physical benefit. As the truth was unfolded to me, I realized that the mental condition was what needed correcting, and 12 that the Spirit of truth which inspired this book was my physician. My healing is complete, and the liberation in thought is manifest in a life of active usefulness rather 15 than the bondage of helpless invalidism and suffering. I owe to our beloved Leader, Mrs. Eddy, gratitude which words cannot express. Her revelation of the practical 18 rather than the merely theoretical application of Jesus' words, "Ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free," proved to be my redeemer. I did not 21 even have to apply to a practitioner, but am most grate- ful for the helpful words of loving friends. — E. B. B., Pasadena, Cal. |

I was afflicted with a fibroid tumor which weighed not less than fifty pounds, attended by a continuous hem- 24 orrhage for eleven years. The tumor was a growth of eighteen years. I lived in Fort Worth, Tex., and I had never heard 27 of Christian Science before leaving there for Chicago in the year 1887. I had tried to live near to God, and I feel sure He guided me in all my steps to this heal- 30 ing and saving truth. After being there several weeks 1 I received letters from a Texas lady who had herself been healed, and who wrote urging me to try Christian 3 Science. Changing my boarding-place, I met a lady who owned a copy of Science and Health, and in speaking to her of 6 having seen the book, she informed me she had one, and she got it and told me I could read it. The revelation was marvellous and brought a great spiritual awakening. 9 This awakened sense never left me, and one day when walking alone it came to me very suddenly that I was healed, and I walked the faster declaring every step that 12 I was healed. When I reached my boarding-place, I found my hostess and told her I was healed. She looked the picture of amazement. The tumor began to disap- 15 pear at once, the hemorrhage ceased, and perfect strength was manifest. There was no joy ever greater than mine for this Christ- 18 cure, for I was very weary and heavy laden. I thought very little of either sleeping or eating, and my heart was filled with gratitude, since I knew I had touched the hem 21 of his garment. I must add that the reading of Science and Health, and that alone, healed me, and it was the second copy I ever 24 saw. — S. L., Fort Worth, Tex. |

It is a little over a year since 6 Science found me in a deplorable condition, physically as well as mentally. I had ailments of many years' standing, — chronic stomach trouble, severe eye trouble, 9 made almost unbearable from the constant fear of losing my sight (a fate which had befallen my mother), also a painful rupture of twenty-five years' 12 standing. These ailments, combined with unhappy conditions in my home, made me very despondent. I had entirely lost my belief in an all-merciful God, and 15 I did not know where to turn for help. At that time Christian Science was brought to my notice, and I shall never forget the sublime moment when I perceived that 18 an all-loving Father is always with me. Forgotten was all sorrow and worry, and after four weeks' reading in Science and Health all my ailments had disappeared. 21 I am to-day a healthy, contented woman. All this has come to pass in one short year, and my earnest desire is to be more and more worthy to be 24 called a child of God. This is in loving gratitude for an understanding of this glorious truth. — Mrs. R. J., Chicago, Ill. |

904 | 643 | S&H 18 | 0 | honesty improved | Show all | GRATEFUL FOR MORAL AND SPIRITUAL AWAKENING About four years ago, after I had tried different ways 30 and means to be relieved from bodily suffering, a faith- 1 ful friend called my attention to the teaching of Chris- tian Science. After some opposition, I decided to in- 3 vestigate it, with the thought that if this teaching would be helpful, it was meant for me as well as for others; if it did not afford any help, I could put it aside again, but 6 that I would find out and be convinced. After I had read Mrs. Eddy's work, Science and Health, a few days, I found that my ailments had disappeared, 9 and a rest had come to me which I had never before known. I had smoked almost incessantly, although I had often determined to use my will power and never smoke again, 12 but had always failed. This desire as well as the de- sire for drink simply disappeared, and I wish to say here, that I received all these benefits before I had gained much 15 understanding of what I was reading. Like a prisoner, who had been in chains for years, I was suddenly set free. I did not then know how the chain had been removed, 18 but I had to acknowledge that it came through the reading of this book. I then felt an ardent desire to read more, and to know what this power was that had freed me 21 in a few days of that which I had been trying for years to shake off and had failed. It then became clear to me that this was the truth which Jesus Christ taught 24 and preached to free humanity almost two thousand years ago. It did not, however, occur to me to apply it in my business affairs; on the contrary, I first thought 27 that if I continued in my study I would have to retire from business. This did not happen, however, for I gradually found 30 that the little understanding of this wonderful teach- ing which I had acquired became a great help to me in my business. I became more friendly, more honest, 1 more loving to my fellow-men; and I also acquired better judgment and was able to do the right thing at the right 3 time. As a natural result my business improved. Be- fore I knew anything of Christian Science my business had often been a burden to me, fear and worry deprived 6 me of my rest. How different it is now! Through the study of the Bible, which now possesses unmeasurable treasures for me, and of our textbook, Science and Health, 9 and the other works of our Leader, I receive peace and confidence in God and that insight into character which is necessary for the correct management of any business. 12 — W.

905 | 616 | S&H 18 | 0 | hope restored healed | Show all | GRATEFUL FOR MANY BLESSINGS In the year 1901, Christian Science found me a hope- 30 less invalid. I had suffered for seven years previous with a very painful back, the result of an operation. I could 1 get no rest or sleep at night, as I could not lie down, but had to sit propped in a chair with pillows around me. 3 Only those who have suffered as I did can know the full misery of it. I had come to the end of material means and never hoped to get well. One day, however, while 6 out walking, it was my good fortune to come to a Christian Scientist's house, and there the teaching was explained to me. I was advised to buy Science and Health, which 9 I did, and the study of this book has healed my back en- tirely. Christian Science has also cured me of long- standing catarrh of the throat, and neuralgia with which 12 I had been afflicted from childhood. Before coming into Science I had doctored with three of the best physicians in Seattle, but none could give me relief. 15 I am no longer a sufferer, but rejoice exceedingly in Christian Science. God's promise has been fulfilled to me, "But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of 18 righteousness arise with healing in his wings." — E. O., Georgetown, Wash. |

906 | 667 | S&H 18 | 0 | hope restored healed | Show all | BORN AGAIN It was in April, 1904, that I first heard the "still, 21 small voice" of the Christ and received healing through Christian Science; and the blessings have been so many since, that it would take too much space to 24 name them. Reared from childhood in an intellectual atmosphere, my paternal grandfather having been an orthodox minister of the old school for forty years, 27 and my father a deep student, ever seeking for the truth of all things, I began early to ponder and to study into the meaning of life, and came to the con- 30 clusion before I was twenty that though God probably 1 existed in some remote place, still it was impossible to connect Him with my present living. My highest 3 creed, therefore, became, "Do right because it is right and not for fear of being punished." Then began the suffering. Sorrow after sorrow followed each other 6 in rapid succession; for ten long years there was no rest, the road was indeed long and hard and had no turning, until finally the one thing that had stood by 9 me all through the trials, namely, my health, gave way, and with that went my last hope. But the last hour of the night had come, the dawn of day was at 12 hand; a dear friend left Science and Health upon my piano one day, saying that I would gain much good by reading it. 15 Glad to get away from my own poor thoughts, I opened the "little book" and began to read. I had read only a short time when such a wonderful trans- 18 formation took place! I was renewed; born again. Mere words cannot tell the story of the mighty up- lifting that carried me to the very gates of heaven. 21 When I began to read the book, life was a burden, but before I had finished reading it the first time, I was doing all my housework and doing it easily; and since that 24 glorious day I have been a well woman. My health is splendid, and I am striving to let my light so shine that others may be led to the truth. There have been 27 some mighty struggles with error, and I have learned that we cannot reach heaven with one long stride or easily drift inside the gate, but that the "asking" and 30 the "seeking" and the "knocking" must be earnest and persistent. For a long time I was always looking back to see if 1 the error had gone, until one day when I realized that to catch a glimpse of what spiritual sense means 3 I must put corporeal sense behind me. I then set to work in earnest to find the true way. I opened Science and Health and these words were before me, 6 "If God were understood, instead of being merely be- lieved, this understanding would establish health" (p. 203). I saw that I must get the right understanding of God! 9 I closed the book and with head bowed in prayer I waited with longing intensity for some answer. How long I waited I do not know, but suddenly, like a won- 12 derful burst of sunlight after a storm, came clearly this thought, "Be still, and know that I am God." I held my breath — deep into my hungering thought 15 sank the infinite meaning of that "I." All self- conceit, egotism, selfishness, everything that constitutes the mortal "I," sank abashed out of sight. I trod, as 18 it were, on holy ground. Words are inadequate to con- vey the fulness of that spiritual uplifting, but others who have had similar experiences will understand. 21 From that hour I have had an intelligent consciousness of the ever-presence of an infinite God who is only good. — C. B. G., Hudson, Mass. |

During 18 this time I had three good doctors treating me. I gained a little in strength, but had very little relief from the stomach trouble. I was recommended to try mineral 21 springs and did so, but with the same disappointment. I went to a sanitarium, but yet the stomach trouble pre- vailed. I had some friends who recommended patent 24 medicines, but no healing came. I worried along in this way for several years. Finally I read medicine nearly two years with a good doctor 27 friend, especially for my own benefit, and during this time I had a severe attack of bladder trouble, and for fifteen years I suffered so severely at times that I thought 30 life was not really worth living. In connection with these 1 troubles I suffered every winter with rheumatism and the grip. I also had a growth coming on both eyes called 3 cataract, which caused my eyes to be inflamed nearly all the time, and this growth had made such progress that it was causing my vision to be very dim when read- 6 ing. Corns were not forgotten, as I was reminded of them very frequently, and for all these troubles I had tried every remedy I heard of that I was able to get, specialists 9 included, without relief. Thanks to a friend who took me in this hopeless, dis- couraged condition and led me to the light that never 12 knows darkness, I got a copy of Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy and was healed in a short time by reading this work. — D.

Hypnotism is an apparent belief in the power of one human being o affect another human being by thinking of him, or mentally suggesting o him, silently or audibly. It is not true, however. The mistake has been nade by the mental workers who find that, as a rule, if a man thinks trongly, the thing will happen or the person will do what the first >erson thinks he will do. As a matter of fact, one human being has no •ower to harm or affect another human being. First, because if so there should be a power other than that of God, a power of evil. Secondly, here is no material man, there is only God’s man and an imaginary mist >f matter which appears to hide God’s man from us. The apparent fleet is due solely to the fact that, in the cinema pictures which constitute he material world, one continually secs a picture of somebody thinking strongly about another person and that other person apparently acting in accordance with the strong thought. |

Love is the power which causes man to pass on these ideas. There is a perfect law of exchange, man is always receiving and re-presenting God’s ideas, benefiting his fellow men. There are no idle ideas, all God’s ideas arc ministering to man and benefiting man, circula ting in infinite Mind, giving infinite beings joy and happiness. |

941 | 672 | S&H 18 | 0 | illness entire childhood overcome | Show all | Most of my boyhood days were spent in the hands of physicians. From birth I was considered a very weakly child, but my mother was brave, and being much devoted to me did everything within her knowledge and power for my comfort. Sickness and medicine were continually before me, and by the time I reached my teens I thought I knew a material remedy for every ill. I continued in my delusion, because I was never told the real cause of my trouble. Besides being under a leading specialist for two years, I was also an outdoor patient at a noted hospital, but I was not healed. It is wonderful how the "little ones" are cared for in the face of all these seeming difficulties. I always used the prayers that I had been taught, and as I grew older I began to ask for wisdom. Little by little I gained a desire for freedom, and my prayers finally led me to the truth. The first week that I heard of Christian Science, I visited the home of dear Christian Science friends, and was at once refreshed by their purity of thought and example. I bought a copy of Science and Health, and, after studying it a little while with the Bible, I saw that if the Bible was true, Science and Health must also be true. I began to demonstrate over my physical and mental condition, and as soon as the fear and pain began to leave me I felt encouraged to go on. I was healed, and stopped complaining. I kept on studying our textbook, and when I got an understanding in a small degree of the Science of Mind, my first thought was to help others. I was guided where I could progress in Science, and was no longer "carried about with every wind of doctrine," but held to Principle as closely as possible. From the time the healing came into my consciousness, the desire for material remedies left me, because Christian Science at once pointed out the way to get at the cause of discord and disease. All that I had to give up were the false beliefs of mortal mind. Christian Science then taught me to love the church, and to appreciate what it had already done for mankind. I often thought of the old adage, "Charity begins at home," and after three years' preparation I felt able to take Christian Science to my home, where it found, in due time, ready acceptance and willing disciples. This gave me even greater joy than my own healing. The more good I saw accomplished, the more love I had for the truth. Christian Science changed my course from the first, and gave me a nobler aim and purpose in life. I was not so easily influenced by other people's shortcomings, when I learned that evil has neither personality nor place. I was not so ready to take offence, when I found out the way to work unselfishly for the upbuilding of the Cause. - A. E. J., Toledo, Ohio. |

It is nearly ten years since I began the investigation of the subject by borrowing a copy of Science and Health. I had become 15 a hopeless sufferer from asthma, — the disease being so aggravated at times as to make breathing almost impos- sible. I was also a victim of that dread disease, consump- 18 tion. It was hereditary, nearly all my family on both sides having passed away with it. I took up Christian Science very much as a drowning man catches at a straw. 21 However, I was much interested as soon as I began to understand it, and having read the book nearly all my waking hours for a few weeks, I became so much better 24 and so convinced of its truth, that myself and wife de- stroyed all the medicines in the home, and have never since used any remedy except Christian Science. I con- 27 tinued to study and to put into practice the teaching as best I knew, and was restored to health in a few months. Prior to my investigation of Christian Science I had 30 been from boyhood an outspoken infidel, had read that 1 class of literature extensively, and had no desire for anything of a religious nature, — the orthodox teaching 3 never having appealed to me as a rational exposition of an all-wise God. I now have no more doubt of the truth of the teaching of the great Way-shower, Jesus of Naza- 6 reth, than I doubt the correctness of the basic law of mathematics or music. I have no doubt whatever that Christian Science saved me from the grave, and thus 9 proved a most practicable and efficient help in time of greatest need. However great my physical suffering has been, I can but feel glad that through it the door of con- 12 sciousness was opened to let in the light of Truth. Thus I have progressed a little way in the knowledge of God, good, as revealed in Christian Science. — C. B., Webb 15 City, Mo. |

Where would I be now, had not this blessed truth been 30 brought to me by much persuasion of a very dear friend? 1 I certainly should have been deep in the slough of despond, if not in the grave. Am I truly thankful for all the good 3 that has come to me and mine? I try to let my works testify of that; but to those whom I do not meet in person, I can truly say, Yes; I am indeed more thankful than 6 words can express for the glorious healing that has come to me, both physical, mental, and moral, and I also con- vey herein, my song of gratitude to the dear Leader who 9 has through her fidelity to Truth enabled me to touch at least the hem of Christ's garment. — B.

For these I had been treated by some of the best specialists in my native land, and after coming to the United States I had been doctored 6 much and had worn glasses for four years. I also had catarrh, for which I had taken much medicine without being relieved. In addition to this I was an excessive 9 smoker, using tobacco in some form almost constantly. I had contracted a smoker's heart, and used liquors freely. 12 The one who brought to me that which I now prize so highly, was a book agent. I told him that I should be forced to leave my trade on account of my eyes. 15 He then told me of having been healed of a cancer, through Christian Science treatment. He showed me a copy of Science and Health, which had the signs of 18 much use, and after being assured that if I did my part I would be healed of all my diseases, I sent for a copy of the book. 21 My recovery was very rapid, for after reading the book only three weeks I was completely healed of the tobacco habit. I will say, in regard to this healing, 24 that it did not require even as much as a resolution on my part. I was smoking a cigar, while reading Science and Health, when all the desire to continue 27 smoking left me, and I have never had a desire to use tobacco in any form since then. My eyes were the next to manifest the influence of the new knowledge 30 gained, and had soon so far recovered that I could go about my work with ease, and I have had no more use for glasses. To-day my heart is normal, the catarrh 1 has totally disappeared, and I am not addicted to the use of liquor. 3 Christian Science has proved to be an ever-present help, not only in overcoming physical ailments, but in business and daily life. It has also overcome a great 6 sense of fear. The Bible, which I regarded with suspicion, has become my guide, and Christianity has become a sweet reality, because the Christian Science 9 textbook has indeed been a "Key to the Scriptures" and has breathed through the Gospel pages a sweet sense of harmony. — A.

957 | 682 | S&H 18 | 0 | improved healed | Show all | MANY TROUBLES OVERCOME In the second chapter of First Peter, ninth verse, I 18 read "that ye should show forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light." The periodicals so wisely established by our 21 Leader give us one means of showing forth the praises of Truth. From the darkness of physical pain and weariness into 24 the light of wholeness and joyousness in work and living, — from the darkness of a clouded sight into the light of clearer vision, — from the darkness of doubt 27 and discord into the marvellous light of the reality of good, — this is what a reading of the Christian Science textbook has done for me. 30 At the time the book was lent to me, I was teach- 1 ing in the public schools of Chicago, and absences from my work on account of illness were of frequent occurrence. 3 For five weeks I had been under the care of a specialist for an organic trouble, and he said I would have to come as many more months before a cure could be effected. 6 At this time, Science and Health was brought to my notice. I never thought of such a thing as being healed by the reading of the book, but my thought was so changed 9 that I was healed, not only of the organic trouble, but of blurred eyesight, fatigue, and a train of other discordant manifestations. I did not go back to the physician 12 until four months later to pay my bill (which, by the way, was more than five times the price of the Science and Health I had purchased). From the time I read 15 the book I taught steadily without losing time from my work. I was helped, too, with my work in many other ways. 18 Through reading the textbook I learned that God has given us strength to do all we have to do, and that it is the things we do not have to do (the envying, strife, emu- 21 lating, vainglorying, and so on) that leave in their wake fatigue and discord. Gratitude to our beloved Leader, Mrs. Eddy, and 24 to her faithful students, with whom I afterwards be- came associated, can be expressed only by daily efforts to put into practice what has been taught. — T.

I was treated by the best of 1 physicians in New York, Minneapolis, and Duluth, and was finally given up as incurable, when I heard of Chris- 3 tian Science. A neighbor who had been healed of con- sumption, kindly loaned me Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy, which I read and became interested in. In three 6 months' time, I was healed, the truth conveyed to me by this book being the healer, and not only of these diseases, but I was made whole mentally as well. I have not been 9 in bed one day since, or rather in eleven years. I have had many good demonstrations during this time, have passed through many a "fiery trial," but this blessed truth 12 has caused me to stand, at times seemingly alone, and God was with me.

Some of the best physicians in Boston 6 had pronounced his case incurable, saying that if he lived he would always be an invalid and a cripple. One of the diseases was gastric catarrh. He was allowed 9 to eat but very few things, and even after taking every precaution, he suffered to the extent that he would lie in spasms for half a day. He also had rickets; physi- 12 cians saying that there was not a natural bone in his body. It was while he was in what seemed to be his greatest 15 agony, and when I was in the darkest despair, that I first heard of Christian Science. The bearer of the joyful tidings could only tell me to come and hear of the wonder- 18 ful things that Christian Science was doing. I accepted the invitation, for I was willing to try anything to save my child, and the following Friday evening I attended 21 my first meeting, which was in The Mother Church of Christ, Scientist. Long before the service began every seat was filled, which was amazing to me, being an ordi- 24 nary weekly meeting, and that night I realized from the testimonies given that Christian Science was the religion for which I had been searching for years. The next 27 day I went to find a practitioner, but was unable to get the one who had been recommended, he being too busy. On my way home I thought of some of the testimonies 30 which I had heard the night before, — of people being 1 healed by simply reading Science and Health. I resolved at once to borrow a copy, and not dreaming of the 3 sacrifice that my friend would make by conferring such a favor, I went and asked her for a loan of Science and Health. I never saw any one part so reluctantly 6 with a book as my friend did with her copy of the textbook. I read it silently and audibly, day and night, in my 9 home, and although I could not seem to understand it, yet the healing commenced to take place at once. The little mouth which had been twisted by spasms 12 grew natural and the child was soon able to be up, playing and romping about the house as any child should. About this time we decided to move to the 15 far West. I was young in Science at the time, and my husband greatly feared that the journey would cause a relapse 18 for the child, but instead, he continued to improve. I constantly read the Bible, Science and Health, and Mis- cellaneous Writings, the two weeks we traveled, and we 21 were the only ones in our car who, throughout the journey, did not get train sick. The child's limbs grew perfectly straight, he ate anything he wanted, and for years he has 24 been a natural, healthy child in every way. He has passed through some of the worst forms of contagion untouched and unharmed. 27 I had been reading Science and Health several months, before I gave any thought to myself and my numerous complaints. I had never been very strong, and some of 30 my ailments were supposed to be hereditary and chronic, hence I dragged through many tedious years with a belief in medical laws and hereditary laws resting upon me. 1 Just before I commenced reading Science and Health I spent a half day in having my eyes examined by one 3 of the leading oculists in Boston. His verdict was that my eyes were in a dreadful condition, and that I would always need to wear glasses. In the meantime I com- 6 menced to read Science and Health, and when I thought of my eyes, I had no need for glasses. The years that I have been in Science I have used my eyes incessantly, 9 night as well as day, doing all kinds of trying work and without requiring the aid of glasses. I was healed of all my complaints whilst seeking the truth for my child, 12 and many of them have never returned. Those that appeared simply came to the surface to be destroyed. Teeth have been restored and facial blemishes re- 15 moved, unconsciously, simply by reading Science and Health. All of this is, however, nothing to compare with the spiritual uplifting which I have received, and 18 I have everything to be thankful for. — M. T. W., Los Angeles, Cal. |

I was healed through simply reading this wonderful book, Science and Health. I had been troubled periodically 12 for many years with sore eyes, and had been to many doctors, who called the disease iritis and cataract. They told me that my eyes would always give me trouble, and 15 that I would eventually lose my sight if I remained in an office, and advised me to go under an operation. Later on I had to wear glasses at my work, also out of doors 18 as I could not bear the winds, and my eyes were gradually becoming worse. I could not read for longer than a few minutes at a time, otherwise they would smart severely. 21 I had to rest my eyes each evening to enable me to use them the next day; in fact gas-light was getting unbearable because of the pain, and I made home miserable. A 24 dear brother told me about Christian Science, and said that if I would read Science and Health it would help me. He procured for me the loan of the book. The 27 first night I read it, it so interested me I quite forgot all about my eyes until my wife remarked that it was eleven o'clock. I found that I had been reading this 30 book for nearly four hours, and I remarked immediately after, "I believe my eyes are cured," which was really 1 the case. The next day, on looking at my eyes, my wife noticed that the cataract had disappeared. I put away 3 my outdoor glasses, which I have not required since, and through the understanding gained by studying Christian Science I have been able to do away with my indoor 6 glasses also, and have had no return of pain in my eyes since. This is now a year and a half ago. — G. F. S., Liverpool, England. |

He also had rickets; physi- 12 cians saying that there was not a natural bone in his body. It was while he was in what seemed to be his greatest 15 agony, and when I was in the darkest despair, that I first heard of Christian Science. The bearer of the joyful tidings could only tell me to come and hear of the wonder- 18 ful things that Christian Science was doing. I accepted the invitation, for I was willing to try anything to save my child, and the following Friday evening I attended 21 my first meeting, which was in The Mother Church of Christ, Scientist. Long before the service began every seat was filled, which was amazing to me, being an ordi- 24 nary weekly meeting, and that night I realized from the testimonies given that Christian Science was the religion for which I had been searching for years. The next 27 day I went to find a practitioner, but was unable to get the one who had been recommended, he being too busy. On my way home I thought of some of the testimonies 30 which I had heard the night before, — of people being 1 healed by simply reading Science and Health. I resolved at once to borrow a copy, and not dreaming of the 3 sacrifice that my friend would make by conferring such a favor, I went and asked her for a loan of Science and Health. I never saw any one part so reluctantly 6 with a book as my friend did with her copy of the textbook. I read it silently and audibly, day and night, in my 9 home, and although I could not seem to understand it, yet the healing commenced to take place at once. The little mouth which had been twisted by spasms 12 grew natural and the child was soon able to be up, playing and romping about the house as any child should. About this time we decided to move to the 15 far West. I was young in Science at the time, and my husband greatly feared that the journey would cause a relapse 18 for the child, but instead, he continued to improve. I constantly read the Bible, Science and Health, and Mis- cellaneous Writings, the two weeks we traveled, and we 21 were the only ones in our car who, throughout the journey, did not get train sick. The child's limbs grew perfectly straight, he ate anything he wanted, and for years he has 24 been a natural, healthy child in every way. He has passed through some of the worst forms of contagion untouched and unharmed. 27 I had been reading Science and Health several months, before I gave any thought to myself and my numerous complaints. I had never been very strong, and some of 30 my ailments were supposed to be hereditary and chronic, hence I dragged through many tedious years with a belief in medical laws and hereditary laws resting upon me. 1 Just before I commenced reading Science and Health I spent a half day in having my eyes examined by one 3 of the leading oculists in Boston. His verdict was that my eyes were in a dreadful condition, and that I would always need to wear glasses. In the meantime I com- 6 menced to read Science and Health, and when I thought of my eyes, I had no need for glasses. The years that I have been in Science I have used my eyes incessantly, 9 night as well as day, doing all kinds of trying work and without requiring the aid of glasses. I was healed of all my complaints whilst seeking the truth for my child, 12 and many of them have never returned. Those that appeared simply came to the surface to be destroyed. Teeth have been restored and facial blemishes re- 15 moved, unconsciously, simply by reading Science and Health. All of this is, however, nothing to compare with the spiritual uplifting which I have received, and 18 I have everything to be thankful for. — M. T. W., Los Angeles, Cal. |

In the little Texas town where we then lived there were two or three Christian Scientists who met at the home of one of their number to read the Lesson- 21 Sermon. Meeting one of them one day, I asked if un- believers could come to their meetings. She said that they could if they wanted to. I went, expecting them 24 to do something that I could laugh at when telling my friends about it. How surprised I was to find out that they didn't do anything but read the Bible and another 27 book which they called Science and Health. I still thought it all foolishness, but resolved to go to their meet- ings until I found out all they believed. I continued to 30 go until I began to understand a little of what they knew, 1 not what they believed; and instead of spending my time telling others what a silly thing Christian Science 3 is, I am now trying to find words to tell what a great and wonderful thing it is. I have been healed of so- called incurable spinal disease of ten years' standing 6 by studying the Bible and Science and Health. Science and Health has been my only teacher, and I wish to send my thanks to our dear Leader. 9 There are no other Scientists near where we now live, but I have the Quarterly and study the lessons by myself. I have five small children, and Christian Science is in- 12 valuable to me in controlling them, and in overcoming their common ills. They often help themselves and each other to destroy their little hurts and fears. — Mrs. 15 M. H., Oleta, Okla. |

Man is never uncertain what to do, for God’s ideas unfold to man continually in perfect sequence and are passed on instantly with perfect sequence, giving joy and happiness. Life is the law of Soul, and settles the order in which ideas come to man ; Love is the power which causes man to pass on these ideas, and Love is God. God is intelligence, and the Principle of al! wisdom, working by means of man, for man is God’s consciousness by means of which God thinks and works and knows; man’s work is therefore perfect, always benefiting man. “A man's goings are established of the Lord, and he deligbteth in his way*’ (Ps. 37 : 23, R.V.). “For God bath not given ns the spirit of fear; but of power, and oj love, and of a sound mind” (2 Tim. 1 : 7). |

While visiting friends in the southwestern part of On- 18 tario, about three years ago, my attention was called to Christian Science and the wonderful healing it was doing. I had lived in New York for twenty-five years, 21 but had never heard of Christian Science before, to my recollection. Up to that time, for seventeen years, I had suffered 24 with indigestion and gastritis in the worst form, often being overcome from a seeming pressure against the heart. I had asthma for four years, also had worn glasses for 27 four years. It seemed to me that I had swallowed every known medicine to relieve my indigestion, but they only gave me temporary benefit. I purchased a copy of Sci- 30 ence and Health, and simply from the reading of that 1 grand book I was completely healed of all my physical ailments in two weeks' time. I have used no medi- 3 cine from that day to this, and with God's help, and the wonderful light revealed to me through the reading of Mrs. Eddy's book, I never expect to again. I used 6 to smoke eight or ten cigars a day, and also took an occasional drink, but the desire for these has gone, — I feel forever. I travel on the road, and am constantly 9 being invited to indulge, but it is no effort to abstain, and in many instances I find that my refusal helps others. 12 While I fully appreciate the release from my physical troubles, this pales into insignificance in comparison with the spiritual uplifting Christian Science has brought me. 15 I had not been inside a church for more than ten years, to attend regular services, until I entered a Christian Science church. What I saw and realized there, seemed 18 so genuine that I loved Christian Science from the very start. I have never taken a treatment, — every inch of the way has been through study and practical demon- 21 stration, and I know that all can do the same thing if they will try. Since I have been in Science I have overcome a case of 24 ulcerated tooth in one night through the reading of Science and Health; also a severe attack of grip in thirty-six hours by obeying the Scripture saying, "Physician, heal thy- 27 self." — B. H. N., New York, N. Y. |

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 silently 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. |

It is nearly ten years since I began the investigation of the subject by borrowing a copy of Science and Health. I had become 15 a hopeless sufferer from asthma, — the disease being so aggravated at times as to make breathing almost impos- sible. I was also a victim of that dread disease, consump- 18 tion. It was hereditary, nearly all my family on both sides having passed away with it. I took up Christian Science very much as a drowning man catches at a straw. 21 However, I was much interested as soon as I began to understand it, and having read the book nearly all my waking hours for a few weeks, I became so much better 24 and so convinced of its truth, that myself and wife de- stroyed all the medicines in the home, and have never since used any remedy except Christian Science. I con- 27 tinued to study and to put into practice the teaching as best I knew, and was restored to health in a few months. Prior to my investigation of Christian Science I had 30 been from boyhood an outspoken infidel, had read that 1 class of literature extensively, and had no desire for anything of a religious nature, — the orthodox teaching 3 never having appealed to me as a rational exposition of an all-wise God. I now have no more doubt of the truth of the teaching of the great Way-shower, Jesus of Naza- 6 reth, than I doubt the correctness of the basic law of mathematics or music. I have no doubt whatever that Christian Science saved me from the grave, and thus 9 proved a most practicable and efficient help in time of greatest need. However great my physical suffering has been, I can but feel glad that through it the door of con- 12 sciousness was opened to let in the light of Truth. Thus I have progressed a little way in the knowledge of God, good, as revealed in Christian Science. — C. B., Webb 15 City, Mo. |

Sometimes the pain was so severe that it seemed as if I could not 30 endure it. These spells would last four or five hours, 1 and while everything was done for me that could be done, no permanent relief came to me until I com- 3 menced reading Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures. After I had once looked into it I wanted to read all the time. I was so absorbed in the study of 6 the "little book" that I hardly realized when the healing came, but I was healed, not only of the rupture, but also of other troubles, — inflammatory rheumatism, catarrh, 9 corns, and bunions.

At that time my daughter was given up by materia medica to die of lingering consumption, supposed to have 21 been inherited. My own condition seemed even more alarming, as insanity was being manifested, and rather than go to an insane asylum, it seemed to me the only 24 thing to do was to commit suicide. Heart trouble, kid- ney complaint, and continual headaches caused from female trouble were some of the many ailments I had 27 to contend with. My doctor tried to persuade me to undergo an operation as a means of relief, but I had submitted to a severe operation ten years previous, and 30 found only additional suffering as a result, so I would not consent. 1 When I began with Science and Health, I read the chapter on "Prayer" first, and at that time did not sup- 3 pose it possible for me to remember anything I read, but felt a sweet sense of God's protection and power, and a hope that I should at last find Him to be what 6 I so much needed, — a present help in time of trouble. Before that chapter on "Prayer" was finished, my daugh- ter was downstairs eating three meals a day, and daily 9 growing stronger. Before I had finished reading the textbook she was well, but never having heard that the reading of Science and Health healed any one, it was 12 several months before I gave God the glory. One by one my many ailments left me, all but the head- aches; they were less frequent, until at the end of three 15 years the fear of them was entirely overcome. Neither myself nor my daughter have ever received treatments, but the study of the Bible and Science and 18 Health, the Christian Science textbook by Mrs. Eddy, has healed us and keeps us well. While Christian Science was very new to me, I at- 21 tended an experience meeting in First Church of Christ, Scientist, Chicago. A gentleman told of an unhappy woman who was about to separate from her husband. 24 This gentleman had asked her if she did not love her husband. She replied, "No; when I married him I did, but not now." He told her God made man in His 27 image and likeness, and that He is perfect. He said to her, "Go home and see only God's perfect man; you don't need to love a sinful mortal such as you have been 30 looking upon." The lady followed his advice, as he told her there is no separation in divine Mind. In a short time peace and harmony were in her home, and 1 both husband and wife became members of a Christian Science church. 3 This testimony was like a message from heaven to me. I had received many benefits from the study of Science and Health, but it had never dawned upon my darkened 6 consciousness till then how wonderful our God is. I knew what had taken place in that home could take place in my unhappy home where there was neither rest nor 9 peace. I hopefully took up my cross, and step by step my burden grew lighter, as I journeyed along, realizing the 12 presence of the Christ, Truth, that indeed makes us free. Not all at once did any outward change appear, but at the end of three years all was peace, all the 15 members of the family attending church together and realizing that there is but one Mind. — E.

1012 | 134 | Rawson | 0 | Insomnia | Show all | Man never suffers from want of sleep, for man is spiritual; man never sleeps, for man is God’s consciousness: "Behold, be that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep" (Ps. 121:4). God, Mind, is ever active, and man, the consciousness of Mind, reflects God and is ever active. There is no weariness, for man is the consciousness of God, he is the infinite, unlaboured energy of God. Man is never restless, for man is the consciousness of infinite rest, infinite peace. There is no matter, all is Spirit and the manifestation of Spirit; man is not material, he is spiritual. Man never fears the want of sleep, for he is ever active, and all activity is joyous. There is no fear, man has absolute trust in Gpd, trust in good. (Not sleeping does no harm. It is the belief in what follows if a man does not sleep which does the harm. If therefore the fear of these results is got rid of, the patient, as a rule, sleeps). |

After a 12 patient and persistent effort of three months' duration, to procure a copy of Science and Health (during which time I had visited every bookstore, and many of the second- 15 hand bookstores in the city of St. Paul), and had failed to find it, I at last remembered that the stranger who told me I might be healed, had mentioned a name, and 18 McVicker's Theatre Building in Chicago as being in some way connected with the work. I sent there for information regarding a book called Health and Science, 21 and the return mail brought me the book, Science and Health, and in it I at once found sure promise of deliver- ance from valvular heart disease, with all the accompani- 24 ments, such as extreme nervousness, weakness, dyspepsia, and insomnia. I had suffered from these all my life, finding no permanent relief, even, in material remedies, 27 and no hope of cure at any time. Only those who have been held in such bondage and have been liberated by the same means, can know the eager joy of the first perusal 30 of that wonderful book. 1 Half a day's reading convinced me that I had found the way to holiness and health. I read on, thinking only 3 of the spiritual enlightenment, content to wait until I should be led to some person who would heal me; but old things had passed away, and all things had become 6 new. I was completely healed before I had met a Scien- tist, or one who knew anything about Christian Science, and before I had read a line of any other Christian Science 9 literature except one leaf of a tract; so it is absolutely certain that the healing was entirely impersonal, as was also the teaching, which enabled me to begin at once 12 demonstrating the power of Truth to destroy all forms of error. — E.

For twenty years I was a constant sufferer, my spine having been injured when I was very young. As a little child I 6 suffered so much that I would look up to the stars and beg God, who I thought might be up there somewhere, to take me away from the earth, — I was 9 so tired. A great wall of pain seemed to separate me from the pleasures enjoyed by others, and I could not explain how I felt, because no one could understand. 12 Years passed, and I saw my earthly happiness swept away; my heart was broken and I did not know what to do. I cried for help, day after day and night after 15 night, although I was not sure what God was, nor where He was. I only knew that I suffered, and was in need of help, and that there was no earthly help 18 for either mind or body. I loved purity, truth, and right always, and this made evil seem a most terrible reality. I was unable to cope with it, and so found 21 myself in despair. This was my condition when I com- menced reading Science and Health. I was ready for its message, and in about ten days there came a won- 24 derful insight into the truth which heals the sick and binds up the broken-hearted. All pain left me, I had a glimpse of the new heavens and the new earth, and 27 was beginning to be fed by Love divine. I had suffered for years with insomnia. That night I rested like a child, and awoke the next morning well 30 and happy. A flood of light daily illumined the pages of the "little book," and the revelation it holds for all 1 came to my waiting heart. "The peace which passeth all understanding" rested upon me, and joy too deep for 3 words transformed my life. My prayers were answered, for I had found God in Christian Science. The Bible, which I knew very little about, became 6 my constant study, my joy, and my guide. The copy which I bought at the time of my healing is marked from Genesis to Revelation. It was so constantly 9 in my hands for three years that the cover became worn and the leaves loose, so it has been laid away for a new one. Two and three o'clock in the morning 12 often found me poring over its pages, which grew more and more sacred to me every day, and the help I received therefrom was wonderful, for which I can 15 find no words to express my gratitude. — I. L., Los Angeles, Cal. |

1029 | 677 | S&H 18 | 0 | invalid - partial healed | Show all | 21 A VOICE FROM ENGLAND For a number of years I was a weary woman, not ill enough in health to be called an invalid, but suffering 24 more than could be told with fatigue and weakness. Feeling that this was God's will, I did not ask to be healed, although I was constantly doctoring. I suffered with dys- 27 pepsia, congestion of the liver, and many other things, including weak eyesight. With all the medicine, and with different changes for rest, I never regained health, 30 and thought I never should, so I prayed for grace to bear my cross patiently for others' sake. One day, while 1 lying on my couch exhausted, which had become a fre- quent experience, the words came to me, "Whatsoever 3 ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive." I rose, knelt down and said, O God, make me well. I was telling a friend this and she kindly gave me a Senti- 6 nel. Imagine my joy when I saw the testimonies of heal- ing! I believed them, remembering our Lord's words, "Blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have be- 9 lieved." I obtained a copy of Science and Health and before a week had passed I realized that if God was my all I needed no glasses. My eyes were healed in a few 12 days, and since then I have never thought of glasses. I was also cured of dyspepsia, and nothing that I have eaten has hurt me since then. The belief in health laws 15 was next destroyed, by knowing that our heavenly Father did not make them, and from this has come the beautiful experience of the overcoming of fatigue. 18 For this alone I can never be thankful enough. True indeed are the words, "They shall run, and not be weary." This was more than a year ago, and I can say that not 21 once have I felt inclined to lie on the couch, nor have I had a headache, although I am doing more work than ever before. Fear has also been overcome in many ways. 24 — A. L., Chelmsford, England. |

1030 | 653 | S&H 18 | 0 | invalid - semi healed | Show all | GRATEFUL FOR MANY BLESSINGS 9 In 1894 I began the study of Christian Science. At that time I was greatly in need of its healing truth. For a number of years previous I had been a semi- 12 invalid with no hope of ever being well and strong again. Several years before this time I had undergone an operation which resulted in peritonitis. For three 15 years previous to my study of Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy, I was scarcely ever free from headache caused by the weakened and diseased condition of the 18 internal organs. At the time I began the study of Christian Science I was taking five kinds of medicine. I began to read Science and Health, and did not 21 take treatment, for I thought, "If this is truth, I shall be healed; if it is not, I shall be able to detect it, and will have nothing to do with it." I became a 24 devoted student and gradually my bodily diseases left me, — I was free, and since that time, nearly ten years ago, neither my two children nor myself have 27 taken any medicine; and our understanding of truth has been able to meet and overcome any suggestion of illness. 30 I was a devoted member of an orthodox church, 1 but as I grew older I began to question my beliefs, and to my questions I could find no satisfactory an- 3 swer. I became dissatisfied and finally ceased attend- ing church. I could not accept the idea of God taught there, and at last my friends looked sadly upon me as 6 an atheist. There I stood until I learned to know God as revealed in Science and Health, and then all my questionings were answered. In my girlhood I had 9 always prayed to the God I held in mind, and when the shadows of sickness, pain, and death came to my family, I prayed as only those can who know that if 12 He helps not, there is none; but my prayers were unanswered. Then I closed my Bible, saying, "There is a mistake somewhere, perhaps some time I may 15 know." Only those who know the attitude of mind that I was in can understand the joy that came to me as I 18 began to learn of God in Christian Science, and of my relation to Him. Many proofs of the healing power of Truth and of 21 His protecting care throng my thoughts. Seven years ago, when we were in a far distant country, where Christian Science was then unknown, my little daughter 24 came in one morning from her school, saying, "Mother, I have measles; twenty of the girls are sick in bed and I am afraid they will put me there also." Her face, hands, 27 and chest were covered with a deep red rash, throat sore, and eyes inflamed. We began immediately to do our work in Science and at night, when I left her at the door of the 30 college, her face was clear, her eyes bright, and all fear destroyed. That was the end of the disease. — F. M. P., Boston, Mass. |

RHEUMATISM HEALED 12 I was a great sufferer from a serious form of rheumatic trouble, my hands being affected to such an extent that it was impossible for me even to dress without assistance. 15 The trouble finally reached the knees, and I became very lame and had to be assisted in and out of bed. I went to the different health resorts for the benefit I hoped to 18 derive from the baths and waters that were prescribed by 1 physicians, but found no permanent relief. I was placed under an X-ray examination, and was told that the joints 3 were becoming ossified. I then consulted a celebrated specialist, who after a thorough examination said my condition would continue to grow worse and that I would 6 become completely helpless. At that time a copy of "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mrs. Eddy was loaned me. I read it 9 more from curiosity than with the thought of any physical benefit. As the truth was unfolded to me, I realized that the mental condition was what needed correcting, and 12 that the Spirit of truth which inspired this book was my physician. My healing is complete, and the liberation in thought is manifest in a life of active usefulness rather 15 than the bondage of helpless invalidism and suffering. I owe to our beloved Leader, Mrs. Eddy, gratitude which words cannot express. Her revelation of the practical 18 rather than the merely theoretical application of Jesus' words, "Ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free," proved to be my redeemer. I did not 21 even have to apply to a practitioner, but am most grate- ful for the helpful words of loving friends. — E. B. B., Pasadena, Cal. |

At that time I had been a chronic 15 invalid for a good many years. I had acute bowel trouble, bronchitis, and a number of other troubles. One physician had told me that my lungs were like wet paper, 18 ready to tear at any time, and I was filled with fear, as my mother, two brothers, and a sister had been vic- tims of consumption. I tried many physicians and 21 every material remedy that promised help, but no help came until I found a copy of Mrs. Eddy's book, Sci- ence and Health. The book was placed in my hands 24 by one who did not then appreciate it, and I was told that it would be hard for me to understand it. I com- menced reading it with this thought, but I caught beau- 27 tiful glimpses of Truth, which took away my fear and healed me of all those diseases, and they have never returned. 30 I would also like to tell how I was healed of a sprained 1 ankle. The accident occurred in the morning, and all that day and during the night I gave myself Christian 3 Science treatment, as best I could. The next morning it seemed to be no better, being very sore, badly swollen, and much discolored. Feeling that I had done all I could, 6 I decided to stop thinking about it. I took my copy of Science and Health and began reading. Very soon I became so absorbed in the book that I forgot all about 9 my ankle; it went entirely out of my thought, for I had a glimpse of all God's creation as spiritual, and for the time being lost sight of my material selfhood. After two 12 hours I laid the book down and walked into another room. When next I thought of my ankle, I found it was not hurt- ing me. The swelling had gone down, the black and blue 15 appearance had nearly vanished, and it was perfectly well. It was healed while I was "absent from the body" and "present with the Lord." This experience was worth 18 a great deal to me, for it showed me how the healing is done. — C. H., Portland, Ore. |

1033 | 631 | S&H 18 | 0 | invalid healed | Show all | 27 AFTER TWENTY YEARS' SUFFERING From early girlhood I was considered an invalid, hav- ing been injured by a hard fall while playing. The pain 30 was intense for some time and for several hours I was un- 1 able to walk or stand alone. Later, a growing weakness of the back accompanied with sharp pains alarmed my 3 parents, who called a physician, and he pronounced it spinal trouble. Then followed nearly twenty years of increased suffering, at times very severe. As years went 6 by and I became a wife and mother, my suffering in- creased. Everything that medical skill could do was done, but finding no lasting benefit from anything, I lost 9 hope of recovery. When Christian Science found me I was under the doctor's sentence that if I lived the week through I would 12 become entirely helpless, not able to move hand or foot. My husband was a travelling man, and being urgently called home, he met an old friend on the train who asked 15 why we did not try Christian Science. The reply, We know nothing of it, was followed by a brief explanation of its healing power and the benefit his family had re- 18 ceived. This inspired my husband with new hope, and on his arrival at home he called on a practitioner, who recommended our getting Science and Health, which we 21 did, but ignorance and the prejudice of old education produced such fear that I hid the book under the covers of the bed whenever the children came into the room, 24 fearing that it was not of God and would injure them. God's dear love was, however, more potent than these foolish fears, and the first day I read from its sacred pages 27 I was convinced its teachings were the same truths as Jesus Christ had taught centuries ago. When I had read a few pages, I reached out and threw my medicine from the 30 open window at the head of my bed. I then turned back to the book and began reading again, when, lo, the Christ-idea dawned upon me, and I was healed instantaneously. 1 I first noticed the spot in my back cooling, and soon I got out of bed. I continued to read eagerly; I felt as 3 if I wanted to devour the healing truth, and drank it in as a thirsty plant does the gentle rain. When dinner was prepared, I walked out and ate a hearty meal with the 6 family, to the amazement of all. We shall never forget what a joyful meal this was. How we did thank God for Christian Science! 9 As year after year has gone by, till twenty years have passed and the healing has remained perfect, I have grown to thank God with deeper sincerity that one brave 12 woman was found pure enough to bring forth this Christ- healing again, to remain forever among men and to save suffering humanity from all disease and sin. — Mrs. 15 P.

I had suffered for seven years previous with a very painful back, the result of an operation. I could 1 get no rest or sleep at night, as I could not lie down, but had to sit propped in a chair with pillows around me. 3 Only those who have suffered as I did can know the full misery of it. I had come to the end of material means and never hoped to get well. One day, however, while 6 out walking, it was my good fortune to come to a Christian Scientist's house, and there the teaching was explained to me. I was advised to buy Science and Health, which 9 I did, and the study of this book has healed my back en- tirely. Christian Science has also cured me of long- standing catarrh of the throat, and neuralgia with which 12 I had been afflicted from childhood. Before coming into Science I had doctored with three of the best physicians in Seattle, but none could give me relief. 15 I am no longer a sufferer, but rejoice exceedingly in Christian Science.

There is no difficulty in getting material when needed, as all that is needed is the ideas of God, and man has only to think of an idea and he has the benefit of that idea which is at once available to him. In grouping together God’s perfect ideas into new combinations man does perfect work, for when man works God works; God works by means of man, for man is God’s consciousness, as infinite as God, by means of which God thinks, and works, and does everything. God’s ideas unfold with perfect sequence, idea after idea, and man groups together these ideas into perfect combinations which radiate out in infinite Mind, giving infinite beings joy and happiness. Man loves his work and rejoices in his work, for his work is perfect and he knows that it is perfect. Man never works for his own benefit, he works for the glory of God, and as the expression of Love.’ Then, so that others can understand the invention, one realises that God is Truth and that man knows Truth ; there is no misunderstanding, for man is the knowledge of God and knows instantly everything that he needs.

I was healed through simply reading this wonderful book, Science and Health. I had been troubled periodically 12 for many years with sore eyes, and had been to many doctors, who called the disease iritis and cataract. They told me that my eyes would always give me trouble, and 15 that I would eventually lose my sight if I remained in an office, and advised me to go under an operation. Later on I had to wear glasses at my work, also out of doors 18 as I could not bear the winds, and my eyes were gradually becoming worse. I could not read for longer than a few minutes at a time, otherwise they would smart severely. 21 I had to rest my eyes each evening to enable me to use them the next day; in fact gas-light was getting unbearable because of the pain, and I made home miserable. A 24 dear brother told me about Christian Science, and said that if I would read Science and Health it would help me. He procured for me the loan of the book. The 27 first night I read it, it so interested me I quite forgot all about my eyes until my wife remarked that it was eleven o'clock. I found that I had been reading this 30 book for nearly four hours, and I remarked immediately after, "I believe my eyes are cured," which was really 1 the case. The next day, on looking at my eyes, my wife noticed that the cataract had disappeared. I put away 3 my outdoor glasses, which I have not required since, and through the understanding gained by studying Christian Science I have been able to do away with my indoor 6 glasses also, and have had no return of pain in my eyes since. This is now a year and a half ago. — G. F. S., Liverpool, England. |

Although a constant reader of all kinds of papers 27 and books, I had never heard anything of Christian Sci- ence, except a short notice that spring in a San Francisco newspaper, from an orthodox clergyman, referring to the 30 Christian Science people in not very complimentary style. 1 In Mrs. Eddy's book I came across a great deal of thought that was not readily understood at the first read- 3 ing, but by continued and careful study, and a good deal of help from my knowledge of chemistry and natu- ral philosophy, I soon shook off the belief of sensation 6 in matter, — the so-called elementary substance. One afternoon I put the belt on my circular saw to cut blocks of firewood and also to split a small stick of frame tim- 9 ber. In doing this the stick closed and pinched the saw. I picked up a small wooden wedge and tried to drive it into the saw kerf, but a bit of ice let the stick on to the 12 back of the saw and instantly it flew, with heavy force, into my face, and bouncing off my left cheek fell about twenty feet off on the snow. The blood spattered on the 15 snow next the saw table, and on feeling with my hand there were two wounds, one on the lock of the jaw and another forward, as big as a dollar, on the cheek bone. 18 "Now," I thought to myself, "there is a case of surgery for you," and without further ceremony, I began to treat the case to the best of my knowledge, with the 21 result that the bleeding stopped almost instantly, and so did a thumping pain, which had commenced. I paid no more attention to the matter, but finished my 24 work, and then went to supper. When I washed my face, I felt a big lump on the jawbone where the block of wood struck, but after my usual reading I went to 27 bed and slept all night until near daylight, when a pain on the right side awoke me. On feeling with my hand there was another big lump on the right side, but I 30 treated it and went to sleep again. I never lost an hour from the hurt, although I found out that my jaw was broken. There is no scar, only a little red spot on 1 the cheek, and the lumps on the bone have long since disappeared. 3 In summing up the benefits I have received from the reading of Science and Health, I can but refer to a condition of sickness dating back to the war (1862), 6 when chronic and malignant diarrhoea came near making an end of my material existence. My hearing, also, was seriously impaired from the effect of cannon 9 firing at Shiloh, but it has come back to me, and where I formerly dared not eat an orange, or grapes, I can now eat anything without being hurt. My peace of mind 12 is giving me a rest which I never experienced before during my life, and I have ceased to look away off for the divine presence that was always near, though I did 15 not know it. — L.

After some opposition, I decided to in- 3 vestigate it, with the thought that if this teaching would be helpful, it was meant for me as well as for others; if it did not afford any help, I could put it aside again, but 6 that I would find out and be convinced. After I had read Mrs. Eddy's work, Science and Health, a few days, I found that my ailments had disappeared, 9 and a rest had come to me which I had never before known. I had smoked almost incessantly, although I had often determined to use my will power and never smoke again, 12 but had always failed. This desire as well as the de- sire for drink simply disappeared, and I wish to say here, that I received all these benefits before I had gained much 15 understanding of what I was reading. Like a prisoner, who had been in chains for years, I was suddenly set free. I did not then know how the chain had been removed, 18 but I had to acknowledge that it came through the reading of this book. I then felt an ardent desire to read more, and to know what this power was that had freed me 21 in a few days of that which I had been trying for years to shake off and had failed. It then became clear to me that this was the truth which Jesus Christ taught 24 and preached to free humanity almost two thousand years ago. It did not, however, occur to me to apply it in my business affairs; on the contrary, I first thought 27 that if I continued in my study I would have to retire from business. This did not happen, however, for I gradually found 30 that the little understanding of this wonderful teach- ing which I had acquired became a great help to me in my business. I became more friendly, more honest, 1 more loving to my fellow-men; and I also acquired better judgment and was able to do the right thing at the right 3 time. As a natural result my business improved. Be- fore I knew anything of Christian Science my business had often been a burden to me, fear and worry deprived 6 me of my rest. How different it is now! Through the study of the Bible, which now possesses unmeasurable treasures for me, and of our textbook, Science and Health, 9 and the other works of our Leader, I receive peace and confidence in God and that insight into character which is necessary for the correct management of any business. 12 — W.

I was a very unhappy, discontented woman; I 21 had kidney disease, besides sore eyes, and my general health was very bad. The doctor said that the climate did not suit me, and that I certainly should have a change. 24 The best thing, he said, was to go back to France (my own country); but I did not like to leave the school, so I struggled on until July, when we went travelling for a 27 month, but I came home worse than ever. I had a lot of worry, one disappointment after another, and I often thought that life was not worth living. In September, 30 1904, we heard for the first time of Christian Science 1 through a girl who was attending our boarding-school, and who was healed through Christian Science treatment. 3 We bought the textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mrs. Eddy, and what a revelation it was and is to us; it is indeed the fountain of Truth. I 6 had read Science and Health but a very short time when I took off my glasses, began to sleep well, and soon found myself well in mind and body. Besides this, it has brought 9 harmony into our school, where there had been discord, and everything is changed for the better. I cannot de- scribe the happiness that has come to me through Chris- 12 tian Science; I can only exclaim with the psalmist: "Bless the Lord, O my soul;" and may God bless Mrs. Eddy. My one aim now is to live Christian Science, not in words 15 only, but in deeds; loving God more and my neighbor as myself, and following meekly and obediently all our Leader's teachings. Words cannot express my gratitude 18 to Mrs. Eddy for Christian Science. — S. A. K., Van- couver, B. C. |

What surprised me most, however, was this; I 30 had had one finger thrown out of place some fifteen years 1 before. It was crooked, but it became straight and use- ful. A bone in my foot had also been broken, leaving 3 a bunch, which disappeared after I studied Christian Science and received class instruction. I am an entirely well man and for this I am very grateful. I am also 6 glad that I have learned enough of Truth and Love to be able to heal others.

I was then taken to specialists, who pronounced my case incurable, saying I was in the last stages of kidney disease and could 15 live only a short time. Shortly afterward my uncle gave me a copy of "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," and asked me to study it. After study- 18 ing a short time I was able to walk a distance of several miles, which I had not been able to do for three years. I also laid aside glasses which I had worn seven years, 21 having been told I would become blind if my eyes did not receive proper care. It is over a year since I re- ceived God's blessing, and I am now enjoying perfect 24 health and happiness. I have never had my glasses on since I first began reading Science and Health, and I have not used any medicine. — L. R., Spring Valley, Minn. |

I had what the doctors 21 diagnosed as muscular rheumatism, dropsy, and con- stipation of thirty years' standing. A dear friend whom I had known as an invalid had been healed by Christian 24 Science and advised me to read Science and Health. I did so, having a desire to know the truth. One of my troubles was that I could not sleep. I began reading the 27 Bible and the Christian Science textbook, and troubles of every kind disappeared before I had read Science and Health through. The thought came, What about the 30 old remedies? but truth prevailed, and I took all the 1 material remedies I had and threw them away. That was seven years ago, and I have not had any use for them 3 since. My husband was healed of the tobacco habit of fifty years' standing, also of kidney trouble, by read- ing Science and Health. I have not words to express 6 the gratitude I feel to-day for the many blessings that have come to our home. — Mrs. M. K. O., Seattle, Wash. |

At that time my daughter was given up by materia medica to die of lingering consumption, supposed to have 21 been inherited. My own condition seemed even more alarming, as insanity was being manifested, and rather than go to an insane asylum, it seemed to me the only 24 thing to do was to commit suicide. Heart trouble, kid- ney complaint, and continual headaches caused from female trouble were some of the many ailments I had 27 to contend with. My doctor tried to persuade me to undergo an operation as a means of relief, but I had submitted to a severe operation ten years previous, and 30 found only additional suffering as a result, so I would not consent. 1 When I began with Science and Health, I read the chapter on "Prayer" first, and at that time did not sup- 3 pose it possible for me to remember anything I read, but felt a sweet sense of God's protection and power, and a hope that I should at last find Him to be what 6 I so much needed, — a present help in time of trouble. Before that chapter on "Prayer" was finished, my daugh- ter was downstairs eating three meals a day, and daily 9 growing stronger. Before I had finished reading the textbook she was well, but never having heard that the reading of Science and Health healed any one, it was 12 several months before I gave God the glory. One by one my many ailments left me, all but the head- aches; they were less frequent, until at the end of three 15 years the fear of them was entirely overcome. Neither myself nor my daughter have ever received treatments, but the study of the Bible and Science and 18 Health, the Christian Science textbook by Mrs. Eddy, has healed us and keeps us well. While Christian Science was very new to me, I at- 21 tended an experience meeting in First Church of Christ, Scientist, Chicago. A gentleman told of an unhappy woman who was about to separate from her husband. 24 This gentleman had asked her if she did not love her husband. She replied, "No; when I married him I did, but not now." He told her God made man in His 27 image and likeness, and that He is perfect. He said to her, "Go home and see only God's perfect man; you don't need to love a sinful mortal such as you have been 30 looking upon." The lady followed his advice, as he told her there is no separation in divine Mind. In a short time peace and harmony were in her home, and 1 both husband and wife became members of a Christian Science church. 3 This testimony was like a message from heaven to me. I had received many benefits from the study of Science and Health, but it had never dawned upon my darkened 6 consciousness till then how wonderful our God is. I knew what had taken place in that home could take place in my unhappy home where there was neither rest nor 9 peace. I hopefully took up my cross, and step by step my burden grew lighter, as I journeyed along, realizing the 12 presence of the Christ, Truth, that indeed makes us free. Not all at once did any outward change appear, but at the end of three years all was peace, all the 15 members of the family attending church together and realizing that there is but one Mind. — E.

For four or five years I had suffered with severe attacks which 18 nothing but an opiate seemed to relieve. After one which I think was the worst I ever had, I consulted our family physician, who diagnosed my case as a dangerous 21 kidney disease and said that no medicine could help me but that I must undergo a surgical operation. I con- tinued to grow worse and went to see the physician again, 24 and he advised me to consult a doctor who was connected with the city hospital of Augusta. This doctor made an examination and diagnosed the difficulty as some- 27 thing different but quite as serious. Meanwhile a friend offered me a copy of Science and Health. I said I did not care to read the book, but she was so urgent that I 30 finally promised to do so. I received the book on Satur- 1 day, and on Sunday morning I sat down to read it. When I reached the place where Mrs. Eddy says she found this 3 truth in the Bible, I began comparing the two books. I read passages which looked very reasonable to me, and said to myself, This is nearer to the truth than any- 6 thing I have ever seen. I continued to read all day, stopping only long enough to eat my dinner. As I read on, everything became clearer to me, and I felt that I 9 was healed. During the evening a neighbor came in, and I said, "I am healed, and that book has healed me." I read on and was certainly healed. Eight days after 12 my healing I did my own washing. This occurred in February, 1901. About six weeks after, I was called to care for my mother, who was under the care of my 15 former physician. I again let him examine my side, as he wished to see if the trouble was still there. He said, "It is certainly gone." I said to him, "Doctor, 18 you told me I would never be a well woman unless I was operated upon; what has healed me?" He replied, "God has healed you." — S. H. L., North Pittston, Me. |

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. |

RHEUMATISM HEALED 12 I was a great sufferer from a serious form of rheumatic trouble, my hands being affected to such an extent that it was impossible for me even to dress without assistance. 15 The trouble finally reached the knees, and I became very lame and had to be assisted in and out of bed. I went to the different health resorts for the benefit I hoped to 18 derive from the baths and waters that were prescribed by 1 physicians, but found no permanent relief. I was placed under an X-ray examination, and was told that the joints 3 were becoming ossified. I then consulted a celebrated specialist, who after a thorough examination said my condition would continue to grow worse and that I would 6 become completely helpless. At that time a copy of "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mrs. Eddy was loaned me. I read it 9 more from curiosity than with the thought of any physical benefit. As the truth was unfolded to me, I realized that the mental condition was what needed correcting, and 12 that the Spirit of truth which inspired this book was my physician. My healing is complete, and the liberation in thought is manifest in a life of active usefulness rather 15 than the bondage of helpless invalidism and suffering. I owe to our beloved Leader, Mrs. Eddy, gratitude which words cannot express. Her revelation of the practical 18 rather than the merely theoretical application of Jesus' words, "Ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free," proved to be my redeemer. I did not 21 even have to apply to a practitioner, but am most grate- ful for the helpful words of loving friends. — E. B. B., Pasadena, Cal. |

I was filled with fear and bound down 27 by the false gods of this world, — sin, disease, and pov- erty; consequently every way I turned, and in everything I attempted to do, I was met with disappointment and 30 failure; but God was leading me into a different life. 1 My interest was first awakened to Christian Science about thirteen years ago, and I have been a willing dis- 3 ciple ever since. Through the reading of Science and Health I was healed of chronic catarrh and laryngitis, and it also enabled me to lay off my glasses. Christian 6 Science has not only helped me mentally, morally, and physically, but the greatest blessing of all is the spirit- ual uplifting which enabled me to know that God is both 9 able and willing to care for His children, if we are but willing to do our part and bear the cross which, though it seems heavy at times, always brings a sure reward. 12 Christian Science has not only helped me, but it has enabled me to help others. The Bible is a new book to me. I now see what 15 Jesus meant when he said, "Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest." My heart goes out in gratitude to Mrs. Eddy for the 18 work she has done and is still doing for the world, and to God I am most grateful that He has guided me into the truth, that I may have life, and have it more abundantly. 21 — Mrs. M. M., Chicago, Ill. |

All God’s ideas are absolutely perfect,' divine, pure and holy, giving man infinite joy and happiness. Man is never careless, he is always doing perfect work; there arc no mistakes, man works perfectly, for when man works, God works, God works by means of man. God’s ideas are never torn or spoilt, they reflect substance and are full and complete. God’s ideas are never scorched, they are spiritual; no iron can ever be too hot, because ail God’s ideas are perfect, doing their work perfectly, ministering to man and benefiting man. (Work against carelessness and hurry). |

1101 | 147 | Rawson | 0 | Law Suits | Show all | There are no law suite, for all is governed by God, the Principle of good. God is Love and all men are absolutely loving. It never happened/ for all is spiritual and perfect and governed by God. There are no mistakes, “tbe law of tbe Lord is perfect” (Ps. 19: 7). Man can never dispute about anything, for God is Truth and man knows Truth. There are no disputes, there is only one Mind ; there are no differing opinions,t there is only one way of looking at things, God’s way, God is the one seer and He sees by means of man; all men see things as God sees them, all men know Truth and love Truth. No untrue witness can be given, for, when man speaks, God speaks, God speaks by means of man. Man and his fellow man equally know Truth and love Truth and always express Truth. Man cannot express aught but Truth, “let them hear, and say, it is truth. Ye are my witnesses, saitb tbe Lord” (Is. 43 : 9, 10). There is no injustice, for God, the Principle of all things, is the Principle of all justice, and everything is adjusted by Him, the one ruler, with perfect adjustment. Love adjusts exquisitely, and all arc satisfied and joyous. Man loves “his neighbour ns himself" (Mark 12 : 33), there are no separate selves, and man is conscious only of God, the one Self. Man is profoundly wise, wise with the wisdom, the infinite wisdom, of God, the only Mind, for man reflects God, the Principle of all wisdom and skill. Man takes action from one motive only, the motive of Love. There is only one motive, God, Love. Nothing takes place but the action of Love. Then work separately for counsel, for the judge, for the jury and for the witnesses. The treatment is almost the same for each. For instance, in working for the counsel, one realises that there are no mistakes, man reflects divine wisdom, intelligence and knowledge. Man does perfect work, for when man works, God works. Man is always passing on God’s ideas and grouping them together into perfect combinations which radiate out in infinite Mind giving infinite joy and happiness. When man works, God works; God works by means of man. God is Truth, and man knows Truth. In working for the judge one realises chiefly that there is no injustice, God is the Principle of justice ; God is Truth and man knows Truth. In working for witnesses one realises chiefly that man cannot lie, for God is Truth and man knows Truth and reflects Truth. Man can only pass on God’s ideas to his fellow man, the ideas of Truth. One should also work for one’s lawyer so that all the work should he properly prepared. For this, after working against mistakes, etc., as above, one realises that man groups together God’s ideas into perfect combinations which radiate out in infinite Mind. Man always has any idea that is needed ; these ideas are always in their right place and man passes them on immediately when needed. These ideas are ideas of Truth. One does not work that cither one side or the other should win, but one realises what the facts of heaven arc. If one realised these properly, the whole of the action would be stopped instantly, and yet both sides would be perfectly satisfied with the result of what had taken place, in other words we would sec heaven more as it really is. |

There is no want of system, God is the Principle of all law and order. Man is always doing the right thing at thQ right time, for he is led and governed by God. “Divine Mind it tbe only (ante or Principle of existence” (S. & H. p. 262), and is ever active, governing man. |

For a time I read 15 the Bible and prayed, but without understanding. This did not suffice, and evil seemed to gain the victory. I soon omitted to read my Bible; forgot to go to God in 18 prayer for guidance and help, and looked to the world for that which it never has and never can give, — health, peace, and joy. 21 Thus, years later, when Christian Science came into my home, it found me prayerless, churchless, godless; a home discordant, and with no thought or knowledge 24 of spiritual things. Up to this time, my wife had for years been seeking health through the physicians, but without success, and as a last resort had been 27 sent to Christian Science. The help received was so wonderful that I commenced the study of Science and Health. The first effect which I realized from the 30 reading of our textbook, was a great love for the Bible and a desire to read it, something which I had not done 1 for years. I went in silent prayer to God, that I might see the light and truth which would enable me to be- 3 come a better man. "Ye must be born again." Thus again, and as a child, was I taught to pray "the effectual fervent prayer" which "availeth much." In a few 6 weeks' study of Science and Health together with the Bible, and without other help, I was healed of a desire for liquor, of years' standing, and of the use of tobacco. 9 Ten years have passed and these appetites have never returned. I have never used either liquor or tobacco in any form from that time to the present. Surely this 12 Scripture is fulfilled in our home: "Old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new." How can we estimate the value of a book, the study of which brings 15 such transformation and regeneration? Only as we endeavor to live, and strive to practise what it teaches, can we begin to pay our debt to God, and to her whom 18 He has sent to make plain to human understanding the life and teaching of Christ Jesus. — W. H. P., Boston, Mass. |

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. — S., Shellman, Ga. |

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 silently 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. |

He said they were liver spots, but that it was not worth 21 while prescribing for those few, that I should wait until I was covered with them. About three months later, with the exception of my face and hands, I was covered 24 with them. Then I became alarmed and called on another physician who prescribed for me, but he finally said he could do no more for me. Other physicians 27 were consulted with no better results. Six years ago, friends advised me to see their family physician, and when I called on him he said he was positive he could 30 cure me, so I asked him to prescribe for me. At the 1 end of two years, after prescribing steadily, he said I was so full of medicine that he was afraid to have me 3 take any more, and advised a rest. After having paid out a small fortune, I was no better, and very much discouraged. 6 Two years ago, having failed in business, I applied to one of my patrons for a furnished room where I could meet the few I still had left. This lady, who is a Christian 9 Scientist, loaned me Science and Health, and because she asked me so often how I was getting on with the book, I began reading it. I also attended the Wednes- 12 day evening meetings which I found very interesting. After hearing the testimonies at the meetings, I decided to speak to some practitioner about these spots, but 15 not until I had at least a hundred dollars on hand, be- cause I thought I would require that amount for treat- ments, as I had been accustomed to paying high prices. 18 I had not inquired about prices, and in fact did not speak to any one about my intentions, because I felt sensitive on this subject. When I had read about half of Science 21 and Health, I missed the spots, and upon searching could find no trace of them. They had entirely dis- appeared without treatment. In a few weeks the read- 24 ing of that book had accomplished what materia medica had failed to accomplish in ten years. It is impossible to express the feeling of relief and happiness which came 27 over me then. — C. K., Astoria, N. Y. |

1170 | 152 | Rawson | 0 | Love | Show all | The aspect of God which causes man to pass on the ideas to his fellow man in order that he may give him the joy and happiness that he has received therefrom. “To infinite, ever-prerent Love, all it Love” (S. & H. P- 5^7)' x It is most important that students should strive to realise God’s omnipresence as the controlling Principle of all being. The most effectual way in which we can do this is by the realisation of.God as Love. Love is omnipotent and the ability and willingness of divine Love to bestow all possible good are equal. It follows that before any appeal can be made the answer is given. We, the mortal counterfeits, do not know this, and therefore do not accept the good which is over available. In order to learn to accept it, let your thought dwell on God, striving to understand Love in all phases of expression. Think of Love as the mighty impulse through which all activity is brought about, with the result that it reflects Love’s absolute loveliness. Think of Love as the source of co-ordination of all powers and activities, through which they are absolutely harmonised. This does away with any belief of conflict. Dwell on Love as the Principle of all joy and bliss, of all freedom, praise and worship. See Love as the illuminating flame, in the light of which all things are seen as they truly are, spiritual and perfect, reflecting every aspect and quality of God to an infinite extent. If you work in this way, many other thoughts concerning Love will come to you. You will see that all men are in Love and you will encounter love wherever you go, and troubles and inharmony will disappear. The main point is that this attitude of thought will lead you more than any other to understand the true nature of God and man and give you a happiness which is beyond conception. God is Love and Love is continually manifested. Man is the reflection, or thinking of Love and continually reflects or manifests infinite Love. Man is the consciousness of Love, is always conscious of Love, and is absolutely loving towards all, for man is the love of God. Infinite Love surrounds man, and man always reflects that perfect Love; all men are divinely attracted, one to another. “God is love ; and be that dwelletb in love dwelletb in God, and God in him" (i John 4 : 16). “The senses of Spirit abide in Love, and they demonstrate Truth and Life" (S. & H. P- *74)- |

1178 | 0 | Rawson | 0 | Love ~ Clarence Steves | Show all | Love by Christian Science Author ~ Clarence Steves ~ 1963 When Mary Baker Eddy discovered God to be Love, and thus divine Principle, she wrote, “LOVE. What a word! I am in awe before it.” (Miscellaneous Writings) Why does she say “in awe before it”? Is this a Promised Land, a universe of Love, which we look for, and hope with longing prayer some day to be able to experience? Mrs. Eddy also says, “I have a world of wisdom and Love to contemplate. . . . “(Ibid) Where is this universe of Love before which our Leader stood in awe? Was it not her own conscious identification?” “What does the word awe mean? It has the meaning of sublime, wonder, majesty and reverence. She saw that this universe was her own universal body and that man is this wonder of eternal Mind, – that man is the sublimity of Truth, the majesty of Principle, the freshness of Soul, the unalterable fact of perfect being. Then, cannot we too stand “in awe” before this word Love? Man is not something outside, contemplating Love. We can acknowledge here and now that man is the universe of Love. Man lives in and as divine Love. Man moves in and as divine Love. Man has being in and as divine Love. This is the oneness of Father and son, Mind and its infinite, indissoluble manifestation. |

I am satisfied that I have found Truth. God is indeed to me 24 an ever-present help. My little girl, some ten months old, was afflicted with constipation. It was so severe I dreaded to go 27 out anywhere with her, as I knew not when she would be taken with a convulsion. I had tried all the usual remedies in such cases, but it seemed to grow more ob- 30 stinate. There was a Christian Scientist living in 1 the same house with us, a Scientist who let her light shine, and while she said little, I felt the reflection of 3 Love. I had no knowledge of the teachings of Chris- tian Science, save that God was the physician at all times. In my own way I believed He was all-power- 6 ful, and I said to my husband one day, "I am through with medicine for baby. I am just going to leave her in God's care and see what He will do. I have done 9 all I can." I did as I said, laid my burden at God's feet, and did not pick it up again. In two days the child was perfectly natural, and has since been free 12 from the trouble. She is now six years of age. Some months later a second test came. She woke up at nine o'clock at night crying and holding her ear. There 15 was to sense a gathering. I was alone. I took up my Science and Health and Bible, but the more I worked the louder she screamed. Error kept suggesting ma- 18 terial remedies, but I said firmly: "No; I shall not go back to error. God will help me." Just then I thought of my own fear, how excessive it was, and a conversation 21 I had with the Scientist who first voiced the truth to me, came to mind. She said she always found it helpful to treat herself and cast out her own fear before treat- 24 ing a patient. I put baby down and again took up my Science and Health, and these were the words I read: — 27 "Every trial of our faith in God makes us stronger. The more difficult seems the material condition to be overcome by Spirit, the stronger should be our faith 30 and the purer our love. The Apostle John says: 'There is no fear in Love, but perfect Love casteth out fear' " (Science and Health, p. 410). I looked up, the crying 1 had ceased, the child was smiling, and in a few minutes asked to be put to bed. There has been no further 3 trouble of that kind. I have since seen the power of Truth overcome error of many forms, including croup, whooping-cough, ton- 6 silitis, etc. I am thankful for all these proofs, but far more grateful am I for the spiritual teaching to love, to forgive, to curb my tongue, and cease my criticism. 9 — M. A. H., Brockton, Mass. |

There are no stiffened muscles, the muscles are God’s thought forces, ex pressing the perfect power that is Mind, governed by the Principle of law and of order. There is no inflammation of the nerves, man’s nerves are spiritual, channels in consciousness through which God’s ideas pass, giving man joy and happiness. Man’s loins can never be affected, man’s loins are spiritual, supporting man’s glorious body of thought.

At that time I had been a chronic 15 invalid for a good many years. I had acute bowel trouble, bronchitis, and a number of other troubles. One physician had told me that my lungs were like wet paper, 18 ready to tear at any time, and I was filled with fear, as my mother, two brothers, and a sister had been vic- tims of consumption. I tried many physicians and 21 every material remedy that promised help, but no help came until I found a copy of Mrs. Eddy's book, Sci- ence and Health. The book was placed in my hands 24 by one who did not then appreciate it, and I was told that it would be hard for me to understand it. I com- menced reading it with this thought, but I caught beau- 27 tiful glimpses of Truth, which took away my fear and healed me of all those diseases, and they have never returned. 30 I would also like to tell how I was healed of a sprained 1 ankle. The accident occurred in the morning, and all that day and during the night I gave myself Christian 3 Science treatment, as best I could. The next morning it seemed to be no better, being very sore, badly swollen, and much discolored. Feeling that I had done all I could, 6 I decided to stop thinking about it. I took my copy of Science and Health and began reading. Very soon I became so absorbed in the book that I forgot all about 9 my ankle; it went entirely out of my thought, for I had a glimpse of all God's creation as spiritual, and for the time being lost sight of my material selfhood. After two 12 hours I laid the book down and walked into another room. When next I thought of my ankle, I found it was not hurt- ing me. The swelling had gone down, the black and blue 15 appearance had nearly vanished, and it was perfectly well. It was healed while I was "absent from the body" and "present with the Lord." This experience was worth 18 a great deal to me, for it showed me how the healing is done. — C. H., Portland, Ore. |

As I read other testimonies and rejoice in them, some one may rejoice in mine. I was healed by reading Science and 18 Health. By applying it, I found it to be the truth that Jesus taught, — the truth that sets free. From childhood I had never known a well day. I 21 was healed of lung trouble of long standing. Con- sumption was hereditary in our family, my mother and three brothers having passed on with it. The law of 24 materia medica said that in a short time I must fol- low them. I also had severe stomach trouble of over eight years' standing, during which time I always re- 27 tired without supper, as the fear of suffering from my food was so great that I denied myself food when hun- gry. For over twenty years I had ovarian trouble, 30 which was almost unbearable at times. It dated from 1 the birth of my first child, and at one time necessitated an operation. I suffered with about all the ills that 3 flesh is heir to: I had trouble with my eyes from a child; wore glasses for fourteen years, several oculists saying I would go blind, one declaring I would be blind in less 6 than a year if I did not submit to an operation, which I refused to do. But thanks be to God whose Truth reached me through 9 the study of our textbook. Words fail to express what Christian Science has done for me in various ways, for my children, my home, my all. The physical healing 12 is but a small part; the spiritual unfolding and uplifting is the "pearl of great price," the half that has never been told. — Mrs. J. P. M., Kansas City, Mo. |

1199 | 664 | S&H 18 | 0 | lungs healed | Show all | 1 CURING BETTER THAN ENDURING For eight years I was a great sufferer from weak 3 lungs and after being treated by ten different physi- cians, in the States of Illinois, Missouri, and Colo- rado, I was told there was no hope of my recovery 6 from what they pronounced tuberculosis, which was hereditary, my father having been afflicted with it. I was greatly emaciated and hardly able to be about. 9 My general condition was aggravated by what the doc- tors said was paralysis of the bowels. Three physi- cians so diagnosed it at different times, and assured 12 my husband that I could never get more than tem- porary relief. This indeed I found difficult to obtain, in spite of my almost frantic efforts. At times I was 15 nearly insane from suffering, and after eight years of doctoring I found myself steadily growing worse. For four years I did not have a normal action of the bowels, 18 and it was only by extreme effort and by resort to pow- erful drugs or mechanical means, with resultant suffering, that any action whatever could be brought about. 21 I had heard nothing of the curative power of Chris- tian Science, and only to oblige a friend I went one night, about three years ago, to one of their mid-week 24 testimonial meetings, in Boulder, Colorado. I was much impressed by what I heard there, and determined at once to investigate this strange religion, in the hope that it 27 might have something good for me. I bought the text- book, Science and Health, and from the first I found myself growing stronger and better, both physically and 30 mentally, as I acquired a better understanding and en- deavored to put into practice what I learned. In one week 1 I was able to get along better without drugs than I had for years with them, and before three months had passed I 3 was better than I had been any time in my life, for I had always suffered more or less from bowel trouble. Since that time I have taken no medicine whatever, and 6 rely wholly upon Christian Science. My lungs are now sound, my bowels normally active, my general health excellent, and I am able to endure without fatigue 9 tasks that before would have prostrated me. The study of our textbook was the sole means of my healing. — L. M. St. C., Matachin, Canal Zone, Panama. |

It is over nine years since we first became interested in 21 the Science, and it would be hard to find a healthier person than I am now. I can go all day, from morn- ing till night, upheld by the thought that "they that 24 wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength." I can truly say that I scarcely know what physical weari- ness is any more. Before I came into Science the 27 physicians said that one lung was gone, and that the other was affected with tuberculosis; so, from their standpoint, there was little left for me to hope for. We 30 had tried every remedy that they had suggested. I had 1 gone to the mountains, but could not stay there on account of the altitude; and when they did not know what else 3 to do, they said we would better go to England — that the ocean air would be beneficial. So we spent three months in the British Isles, and when I came back I 6 seemed much better, but this only lasted a short time. In little more than a month I was worse than ever, and my mother was told that I had but a few weeks, or at 9 most months, to live. At that time, a lady, a stranger to us, suggested that we try Christian Science. There was no prejudice against 12 it, as we did not even know what it was. We knew of no Scientists in the Western town where we were living, and when we were told that we could send to Kansas City 15 for absent treatment, we thought it was absurd. We were then told that many people had been healed through the reading of the Christian Science textbook, Science and 18 Health, and to us this seemed a little worse than the absent treatment, but as we had tried everything we had heard of up to that time, my mother sent for the 21 book. It came in the middle of October and we began to read it together. It seemed to me from the first that it was 24 something I had always believed, but did not know how to express — it seemed such a natural thing. My im- provement was very gradual, but I felt I was recovering. 27 After the Christmas holidays I started in at school and went the whole term without missing a day, — some- thing I had never done before. I finished my school 30 course without missing a day — in fact, I have not spent a day in bed since that time. I feel absolutely certain that I have two sound, healthy lungs now. The hollows 1 in my chest have filled out, and I breathe perfectly on both sides; rarely have a cold to meet, and have not a sign of 3 a cough. People sometimes say, "Oh, well, maybe you never had consumption." Well, I had all the symptoms, and they 6 are every one gone through the reading of Science and Health. — E. L. B., Chicago, Ill. |

1210 | 157 | Rawson | 0 | Malice Against Truth | Show all | This class of thought embraces a much wider range of evil thinking :han is usually recognised. The ordinary form is when a man says, for nstance, of literature on a spiritual basis, “lam not going to have this ?ubbish in my house,” but it also includes the class of thought which disparages spiritual workers and makes people criticise those who are working in the truth, or criticise arrangements made to help people, >r criticise the literature on Truth. There is no malice against Truth, man loves Truth, knows Truth, md rejoices in Truth, for God is Truth and man is the knowledge of 3od, the knowledge of Truth, reflecting Spirit, the Principle of all goodness and holiness. Malice against Truth is often expressed by malice against an individual, jften through the latent idea that he knows or expresses more of Truth han the one showing malice. To work against this one realises that 10 mortal ever passes on ideas of Truth or expresses Truth, Truth is ilways expressing Itself, ever active, ever present. Man and his fellow nan equally know Truth, love Truth, and manifest Truth. There is no malice against the terminology or nomenclature of Truth, for God is the only speaker and the only healer. All words are ideas of God, Truth, and man has perfect understanding of every idea of Truth. |

This was about ten years ago and was the first I had ever heard of Christian Science. We soon got a copy 30 of Science and Health and I began in the right way to 1 see if Christian Science were the truth. I had no thought of studying it for bodily healing; in fact, I did not think 3 I needed it for that, but my soul cried out for something I had not yet found. This book was indeed a key to the Scriptures. 6 It was not long after I began reading before I dis- covered that my eyes were good and strong, I could read as much as I wished, and at any time, which was 9 something I could not do before, as my eyes had always been weak. The doctors said they never would be very strong, and that if I did not wear glasses, I might lose 12 my sight altogether. I never gave up to wearing glasses, and now, thanks to Christian Science, I do not need them, my work for the past two years as a railway mail clerk 15 being a good test. At the same time my eyes were healed, I also noticed that I was entirely healed of another ail- ment which had been with me all my life, and which was 18 believed to be inherited. Since that time my growth has seemed to me slow, yet when I look back and view myself as I was before Christian Science found me, and 21 compare it with my life as it now is, I can only close my eyes to the picture and rejoice that I have been "born again" and that I have daily been putting off "the 24 old man with his deeds," and putting on "the new man." Some of the many things that have been overcome 27 through the study of Science and Health, and through realizing and practising the truth it teaches, are pro- fanity, the use of tobacco, a very quick temper, which 30 made both myself and those around me at times very miserable, and such thoughts as malice, revenge, etc. — O.

1214 | 0 | S&H 18 | 4 | 0 | Man #10 ~ Epilepsy by Rawson | Show all | 01/03/2024 ~ There is no epilepsy, there is only God and His perfect manifestation. God is the infinitely calm Mind, the infinitely calm creator, ruler and governor of all, ”in Him we live and move and have our being” (Acts 17 : 28). There is no life apart from God, man’s Life is God, man is the living of God. “The kingdom of God is . . . peace” (Rom. 14 : 17). Nothing takes place but the action of God. There are no medical laws regulating health or disease, there is only the law of God and man forever obeys that law ; it is the law of his being, the law of eternal health and holiness. There are no fits, for the control of God over all things is unceasing and uninterrupted, and His control means absolute order and absolute peace. There are no meaningless movements, every movement is a movement of divine Mind, having its divine purpose and divine effect. Man is never unconscious, man is God’s consciousness; that consciousness is never lost, for the only consciousness is God’s consciousness, eternally, peacefully at work. There is no evil cause of anything, the only cause is God. Man can never injure himself, he reflects divine substance; he can never fall, he is poised in Mind, always in a perfect position. There is no evil power at work, the only power is God. There is no tendency to fits, for man’s nature is absolutely pure, the nature of God. Man is not a material being, he is spiritual, he belongs to God, he is wholly of God. “When he giveth quietness, who then can make trouble ? " (Job. 34 : 29). "Peace, from him which is, and which was, and which is to come** (Rev. 1 : 4). (Work against heredity, injury and poison). Pg 95 Rawson |

1242 | 637 | S&H 18 | 0 | marriage - unhappy healed | Show all | SAVED FROM INSANITY AND SUICIDE 15 A few years ago, while under a sense of darkness and despair caused by ill health and an unhappy home, Sci- ence and Health was loaned me with a request that I 18 should read it. At that time my daughter was given up by materia medica to die of lingering consumption, supposed to have 21 been inherited. My own condition seemed even more alarming, as insanity was being manifested, and rather than go to an insane asylum, it seemed to me the only 24 thing to do was to commit suicide. Heart trouble, kid- ney complaint, and continual headaches caused from female trouble were some of the many ailments I had 27 to contend with. My doctor tried to persuade me to undergo an operation as a means of relief, but I had submitted to a severe operation ten years previous, and 30 found only additional suffering as a result, so I would not consent. 1 When I began with Science and Health, I read the chapter on "Prayer" first, and at that time did not sup- 3 pose it possible for me to remember anything I read, but felt a sweet sense of God's protection and power, and a hope that I should at last find Him to be what 6 I so much needed, — a present help in time of trouble. Before that chapter on "Prayer" was finished, my daugh- ter was downstairs eating three meals a day, and daily 9 growing stronger. Before I had finished reading the textbook she was well, but never having heard that the reading of Science and Health healed any one, it was 12 several months before I gave God the glory. One by one my many ailments left me, all but the head- aches; they were less frequent, until at the end of three 15 years the fear of them was entirely overcome. Neither myself nor my daughter have ever received treatments, but the study of the Bible and Science and 18 Health, the Christian Science textbook by Mrs. Eddy, has healed us and keeps us well. While Christian Science was very new to me, I at- 21 tended an experience meeting in First Church of Christ, Scientist, Chicago. A gentleman told of an unhappy woman who was about to separate from her husband. 24 This gentleman had asked her if she did not love her husband. She replied, "No; when I married him I did, but not now." He told her God made man in His 27 image and likeness, and that He is perfect. He said to her, "Go home and see only God's perfect man; you don't need to love a sinful mortal such as you have been 30 looking upon." The lady followed his advice, as he told her there is no separation in divine Mind. In a short time peace and harmony were in her home, and 1 both husband and wife became members of a Christian Science church. 3 This testimony was like a message from heaven to me. I had received many benefits from the study of Science and Health, but it had never dawned upon my darkened 6 consciousness till then how wonderful our God is. I knew what had taken place in that home could take place in my unhappy home where there was neither rest nor 9 peace. I hopefully took up my cross, and step by step my burden grew lighter, as I journeyed along, realizing the 12 presence of the Christ, Truth, that indeed makes us free. Not all at once did any outward change appear, but at the end of three years all was peace, all the 15 members of the family attending church together and realizing that there is but one Mind. — E. J. B., Supe- rior, Wis. |

1243 | 158 | Rawson | 0 | Masturbation | Show all | There is no masturbation, for man is spiritual and perfect. Man’s hands never harm him, the hand is the power of grasping God’s ideas, and only God’s ideas can come to man ; these ideas minister to and benefit man. There arc no impure thoughts, for only ideas of Spirit can come to man and Spirit is the Principle of all purity and holiness. Man cannot be hypnotised to do what is wrong, man is spiritual, perfect, divine and holy. (Work against sensuality). To stop this, young children are often operated on, and abnormal parts removed. Where the parts are abnormal one can realise that there arc no abnormal parts, God’s ideas are perfect. They can never cause irritation, they arc spiritual and divine. Nothing is ever out of its place, all God’s ideas arc in their place, ministering to man and benefiting man. There is no excess of matter, for all is spiritual. (Work against matter). |

1244 | 159 | Rawson | 0 | Materia Medica, Thoughts of | Show all | No thoughts of materia medica can touch man, there are only God’s thoughts; no false medical beliefs, man knows only ideas of Truth. Man is the image and likeness of God, spiritual and perfect, knowing “no /apse from nor return to harmony" (S. & H. p. 471). He exists always at the standpoint of absolute perfection, thinking only God’s thoughts. God is Truth and man knows Truth, for man is the knowledge of Truth, being the knowledge of God. |
||
1245 | 159 | Rawson | 0 | Material Basis | Show all | There is no material basis, the only basis is spiritual, for the only foundation is God ; the only thoughts are God’s thoughts, divine and holy thoughts, which are always coming to man. Nothing exists except Spirit and the manifestation of Spirit, all is spiritual and perfect. There is no material world, only God’s world, the world of reality, perfect and divine. There is no want of knowledge of Truth, man knows Truth and loves Truth and rejoices in Truth. There is no mortal mind to keep man off his true basis, for there is only one Mind, God, good ; man is always on a spiritual basis ; he has spiritual perception, spiritual discernment, spiritual understanding, and knows Truth. |
||
1246 | 159 | Rawson | 0 | Material Body | Show all | There is no material body, man’s body is the body of thought, the infinite combinations of ideas which have come to man, and of which man is conscious whenever needed. Man’s body can never be affected by matter, man’s body is spiritual, the glorious body which gives man joy and happiness ; fashioned like unto bis glorious body" (Phil. 3 : 21). |

1247 | 159 | Rawson | 0 | Material Conversation | Show all | There is no material conversation, man can only think and rc-prescnt God’s ideas. Man speaks divinely, for God expresses His infinite spiritual nature by means of man. God is Truth, and the only ideas which can be expressed arc the holy and uplifting ideas of absolute Truth. God’s ideas radiate out in infinite Mind, giving infinite joy and happiness. |

1248 | 646 | S&H 18 | 0 | material laws uprooted healed | Show all | 15 TEXTBOOK APPRECIATED It has been my privilege to have interviews with representatives of more than sixty per cent of the na- 18 tions of this earth, under their own vine and fig-tree. I had never heard a principle understandingly ad- vanced that would enable mankind to obey the apos- 21 tolic command, "prove all things," until Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures was placed in my hands. I believe that the honest study of this book 24 in connection with the Bible will enable one to "prove all things." I make this unqualified statement because of what 27 my eyes have seen and my ears heard from my fellow- men of unquestioned integrity, and the positive proofs I have gained by the study of these books. Many 30 supposed material laws that had been rooted and 1 grounded in my mentality from youth have been over- come. It required some time for me to wake up to 3 our Leader's words in Miscellaneous Writings, p. 206: "The advancing stages of Christian Science are gained through growth, not accretion." I had many disappoint- 6 ments and falls before I was willing to do the scientific work required to prove this statement; yet notwithstanding the cost to ourselves, I am convinced that we cannot do 9 much credit to the cause we profess to love until we place ourselves in a position to prove God as He really is to us individually, and our relation to Him, by scientific work. 12 I wish to express loving gratitude to our Leader for the new edition of Science and Health. In studying this new edition one cannot help seeing the wisdom, 15 love, and careful and prayerful thought expressed in the revision. Often the changing of a single word in a sentence makes the scientific thought not only more 18 lucid to him who is familiar with the book, but also to those just coming into the blessed light. All honor to that God-loving, God-fearing woman, Mary Baker G. 21 Eddy, whose only work is the work of love in the helping of mankind to help themselves; who has placed before her fellow-men understandingly, what man's divine rights are, 24 and what God really is. — H.

1249 | 160 | Rawson | 0 | Material Man | Show all | There is no material man, man is divine, a perfect being, in a perfect world, governed by a perfect God, “God’s spiritual idea, individual, perfect, eternal" (S. & H. p. 115). The only man there is now, ever was or ever will be is spiritual and perfect, reflecting Life, Truth, Love, Mind, Soul, Spirit, intelligence, substance and Principle. Man is consciousness, God’s consciousness, knowing nothing unlike God, being co-existent and co eternal with God, ever re-presenting perfect, spiritual ideas in the divine order of being, God’s thinking, knowing, acting, conscious, existent idea of Himself; in quality reflecting all that God is. “Tbe sinless joy,—tbe perfect harmony and immortality of Life, possessing unlimited divine beauty and goodness without a single bodily pleasure or pain,—constitutes the only veritable, indestructible man, whose being is spiritual” (S. & H. p. 76). There is no matter, only Spirit and the infinite manifestation of Spirit, pure, perfect, divine and holy. “Immortal man was and is God’s image or idea, even the infinite expression of infinite Mind, and immortal man is coexistent and coeternal with that Mind” (S. &. H. p. 336). Man cannot be conscious of anything material, man thinks only of God’s spiritual ideas which are continually unfolding to him, for man is God’s consciousness by means of which God thinks and knows, and man knows Truth and rejoices in Truth. There is nothing but God, nothing but Truth. “His truth enduretb to all generations” (Ps. 100 : 5). |

1268 | 160 | Rawson | 0 | Matrimony | Show all | There is no separate sex, for all are spiritual. There is no desire to marry, for man is complete, male and female, made in the image and likeness of God. There is no unconscious hypnotism, God is the only power and the only ruler. There is no sensuality, all is purity and chastity ; man is never desirous of any qualities to complete himself, he is male and female complete and perfect. There are no material senses, man’s senses are spiritual; man has no unsatisfied desires, man has instantly everything he needs; no impure thoughts can come to man, only God’s pure, perfect, divine and holy ideas. There is no incompleteness in man, he is the perfect and full reflection of the Father, male and female qualities fully developed. There are no false appetites, man is spiritual and reflects Spirit, the Principle of all purity and holiness. When one of the married couple wants to leave the other, you can realise that there is no separation, all men are held together by the gravitation of divine Love. There is only one Mind, God, one consciousness, man ; all men arc a part of that one consciousness, perfectly combining and assisting each other, and working in perfect harmony. In that one Mind there is perfect unity, as man is conscious only of one Life, one substance, one purpose. All arc part of the one consciousness of God and all men act with the one motive of helping each other, always giving each other joy and happiness, never separated, but instantly in touch with each other, reflecting Love, perfectly bound together by divine Love and interchanging Love’s perfect ideas. There is no misunderstanding, for God is Truth, and man knows Truth. There is no nagging, for God is Love, and all men arc loving. God is the Principle of wisdom ; man reflects divine wisdom, intelligence and knowledge. One man can never upset another man, and only God’s thoughts arc re-presented. If there is antagonism against Truth on the part of one or the other, then you can realise that there is no malice against Truth, man loves Truth, knows Truth and rejoices in Truth, for God is Truth, and there is nothing but Truth, nothing but God. Man and his fellow man equally know Truth. Man cannot possibly prevent his fellow men from receiving a greater knowledge of the ideas of God, for man is governed by God and by God alone, absolutely free, rejoicing in the “glorious liberty of the children of God” (Rom. 8 : 21). (Then work for love). |

Ten years ago I was healed of hereditary deafness and 24 catarrh of the head, simply through reading the book, Science and Health. For years previous I had consulted and taken treatment from some of the best specialists 27 for the ear and throat, both in England and America, but grew worse all the time. I was then urged by a lady who had been healed through Christian Science to buy 30 this book and study it. I did so very reluctantly, but 1 had not read fifty pages before I felt I had indeed found the truth which makes free, and can truly say, from that 3 time I have never had a return of the ailment. That for which I am, however, most grateful, is the daily help it is to me in my household of young chil- 6 dren. I am sure if mothers only knew what Christian Science truly means they would give all they possess to know it. We have seen croup, measles, fever, and 9 various other children's complaints, so-called, disappear like dew before the morning sun, through the applica- tion of Christian Science, — the understanding of God 12 as ever-present and omnipotent. It has been proven to me without a doubt that God is a very present help in trouble, and what a blessed help this wonderful truth is 15 in the training of our children, and how quickly the child grasps it. Some time ago my little girl, then three years old, 18 dislocated her shoulder. I was alone in the house at the time. The pain was so intense that she became faint. I treated her the best I knew how, but kept 21 holding the thought that just as soon as some one came I would run for help. She seemed to grow worse and cried very much. I undressed her and tried to twist 24 the arm into place, but it caused such suffering that I began to get afraid. Then like a flash came the thought, What would you do if you were out of the reach of a prac- 27 titioner? Now is your time to prove God's power and presence. With these thoughts came such a sense of calm and trustfulness that I lost all fear. I then asked 30 the child if I should read to her; she said "Yes, mamma, read the truth-book." I began reading aloud to her from Science and Health. In about half an hour I noticed 1 she tried to lift the arm but screamed and became very pale. I continued to read aloud and again she made 3 an effort to put some candy into her mouth. This time I noticed with joy that she almost reached her mouth before she felt the pain. I kept reading aloud to her 6 until my sister and two boys came in, when she jumped off her bed, so delighted to see her brothers that she for- got her arm. She then began to tell her aunt that she 9 had broken her arm and mamma treated it with the truth- book. When this happened, it was about 10.30 A.M. and by 3 P.M. she was playing out doors as though 12 nothing had ever happened. — Mrs. M. G., Winnipeg, Man. |

1286 | 653 | S&H 18 | 0 | measles healed | Show all | GRATEFUL FOR MANY BLESSINGS 9 In 1894 I began the study of Christian Science. At that time I was greatly in need of its healing truth. For a number of years previous I had been a semi- 12 invalid with no hope of ever being well and strong again. Several years before this time I had undergone an operation which resulted in peritonitis. For three 15 years previous to my study of Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy, I was scarcely ever free from headache caused by the weakened and diseased condition of the 18 internal organs. At the time I began the study of Christian Science I was taking five kinds of medicine. I began to read Science and Health, and did not 21 take treatment, for I thought, "If this is truth, I shall be healed; if it is not, I shall be able to detect it, and will have nothing to do with it." I became a 24 devoted student and gradually my bodily diseases left me, — I was free, and since that time, nearly ten years ago, neither my two children nor myself have 27 taken any medicine; and our understanding of truth has been able to meet and overcome any suggestion of illness. 30 I was a devoted member of an orthodox church, 1 but as I grew older I began to question my beliefs, and to my questions I could find no satisfactory an- 3 swer. I became dissatisfied and finally ceased attend- ing church. I could not accept the idea of God taught there, and at last my friends looked sadly upon me as 6 an atheist. There I stood until I learned to know God as revealed in Science and Health, and then all my questionings were answered. In my girlhood I had 9 always prayed to the God I held in mind, and when the shadows of sickness, pain, and death came to my family, I prayed as only those can who know that if 12 He helps not, there is none; but my prayers were unanswered. Then I closed my Bible, saying, "There is a mistake somewhere, perhaps some time I may 15 know." Only those who know the attitude of mind that I was in can understand the joy that came to me as I 18 began to learn of God in Christian Science, and of my relation to Him. Many proofs of the healing power of Truth and of 21 His protecting care throng my thoughts. Seven years ago, when we were in a far distant country, where Christian Science was then unknown, my little daughter 24 came in one morning from her school, saying, "Mother, I have measles; twenty of the girls are sick in bed and I am afraid they will put me there also." Her face, hands, 27 and chest were covered with a deep red rash, throat sore, and eyes inflamed. We began immediately to do our work in Science and at night, when I left her at the door of the 30 college, her face was clear, her eyes bright, and all fear destroyed. That was the end of the disease. — F. M. P., Boston, Mass. |

Words cannot express my gratitude for benefits I have received in that time. For five 18 years I suffered with that dreaded disease, eczema, all over my body. Five doctors said there was no help for me. The suffering seemed as terrible as the hell 21 fire that I had been taught to believe in. When Christian Science came to me two years ago through a dear friend, she gave me a copy of Science and Health and asked 24 me to read it. I told her that I would, for I was like a drowning man grasping at a straw. I had been a Bible student for twenty-eight years, but when I commenced 27 reading Science and Health with the Bible I was healed in less than a week. I never had a treatment. A case of measles was also destroyed in twenty-four hours after 30 it appeared. — Mrs. M. B. G., Vermilion, Ohio. |

There is no morbid depression, for man loves to receive the ideas of God. “Tbe sons of God shouled for joy” (Job 38 : 7). Man rejoices to receive the ideas of God, and rejoices to re-present them. “In tby presence is fulness ofj oy” (Ps. 16 : ii). No wrong thoughts can come to man, only God’s ideas can come ; these ideas give man joy and happiness.

Man has no difficulty'in recollecting, for man is divine, God’s consciousness, by means of which God thinks and knows. All of God’s ideas arc ever present, for all ideas exist in Mind, and unfold to man with unfailing regularity as and when needed, and arc re-presented with similar regularity. God’s ideas coming to man form “bis glorious body” (Phil. 3:21) and arc ever instantly available. Man is instantly in touch with any idea he needs, for all ideas arc instantly available. Man cannot think that he has difficulty in recollecting anything, for man’s Mind is God, and man knows Truth, man never malpractises on himself, for man is divine and governed by God. |

Insufficient menstruation is, according to medical belief, sometimes due to the kind of anaemia characterised by deficiency in red blood corpuscles, the main function of which is to carry oxygen to the tissues. In this case you can realise that there is no want of oxygen, God’s ideas are perfect and complete, always in the right place, whenever needed. There is no lack of activity in the expression of divine ideas, they reflect Mind, the Principle of all activity. |

Love is the power which causes the ideas to circulate, and Love is omnipotent, for Love is God. There is no want of control of the ductless glands, man’s glands are spiritual, channels in consciousness, benefiting man, ministering to man.

Purpose and proof of the testimonials 6 For the assurance and encouragement of the reader, a few of these letters are here republished from THE CHRIS- TIAN SCIENCE JOURNAL and CHRISTIAN SCIENCE SENTI- 9 NEL. The originals are in the possession of the Editor, who can authenticate the testimonials which follow. RHEUMATISM HEALED 12 I was a great sufferer from a serious form of rheumatic trouble, my hands being affected to such an extent that it was impossible for me even to dress without assistance. 15 The trouble finally reached the knees, and I became very lame and had to be assisted in and out of bed. I went to the different health resorts for the benefit I hoped to 18 derive from the baths and waters that were prescribed by 1 physicians, but found no permanent relief. I was placed under an X-ray examination, and was told that the joints 3 were becoming ossified. I then consulted a celebrated specialist, who after a thorough examination said my condition would continue to grow worse and that I would 6 become completely helpless. At that time a copy of "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mrs. Eddy was loaned me. I read it 9 more from curiosity than with the thought of any physical benefit. As the truth was unfolded to me, I realized that the mental condition was what needed correcting, and 12 that the Spirit of truth which inspired this book was my physician. My healing is complete, and the liberation in thought is manifest in a life of active usefulness rather 15 than the bondage of helpless invalidism and suffering. I owe to our beloved Leader, Mrs. Eddy, gratitude which words cannot express. Her revelation of the practical 18 rather than the merely theoretical application of Jesus' words, "Ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free," proved to be my redeemer. I did not 21 even have to apply to a practitioner, but am most grate- ful for the helpful words of loving friends. — E. B. B., Pasadena, Cal. |

Where would I be now, had not this blessed truth been 30 brought to me by much persuasion of a very dear friend? 1 I certainly should have been deep in the slough of despond, if not in the grave. Am I truly thankful for all the good 3 that has come to me and mine? I try to let my works testify of that; but to those whom I do not meet in person, I can truly say, Yes; I am indeed more thankful than 6 words can express for the glorious healing that has come to me, both physical, mental, and moral, and I also con- vey herein, my song of gratitude to the dear Leader who 9 has through her fidelity to Truth enabled me to touch at least the hem of Christ's garment. — B.

1304 | 610 | S&H 18 | 0 | mental healed | Show all | CANCER AND CONSUMPTION HEALED I was a great sufferer for many years from internal 30 cancer and consumption. I was treated by the best of 1 physicians in New York, Minneapolis, and Duluth, and was finally given up as incurable, when I heard of Chris- 3 tian Science. A neighbor who had been healed of con- sumption, kindly loaned me Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy, which I read and became interested in. In three 6 months' time, I was healed, the truth conveyed to me by this book being the healer, and not only of these diseases, but I was made whole mentally as well. I have not been 9 in bed one day since, or rather in eleven years. I have had many good demonstrations during this time, have passed through many a "fiery trial," but this blessed truth 12 has caused me to stand, at times seemingly alone, and God was with me. I will mention a demonstration of painless childbirth 15 which I have had since coming to Idaho. Perhaps it may help some sister who is looking through the Journal for a demonstration of this kind, as I was before my baby 18 came. Good help being scarce here, I did my housework up to the time I was confined, and was in perfect health. I awoke my husband one morning at five o'clock, and at 21 half past five baby was born, no one being present but my husband and myself. It was quite a surprise to the rest of the family to see me sitting by the fire with a new 24 baby on my lap. My son got the breakfast, of which I ate heartily; at noon I joined the family in the dining- room. I was out on the porch the second day, around 27 the yard the third day, and have been perfectly well ever since, which has been now over three years. To one who had previously passed through agony untold, 30 with a physician in attendance, this seemed wonderful. I hope this will interest some one who is seeking the truth, and I wish to express my sincere love for our beloved 1 Leader, who has given us the "Key to the Scriptures." — E. C.

When Christian Science came to me, I was a wreck, physically, 21 mentally, and financially; but since the reading of Sci- ence and Health turned my thought toward the light, I have found that, as far as I am willing to receive the word 24 and live it, all comforts are supplied me. I am especially grateful for the spiritual help. I know that things which I did and thought last year I would not do or think this 27 year, and am satisfied. Through the careful and prayer- ful study of Science and Health I have been lifted from sickness to health, from sorrow to peace, from lack to 30 plenty, and, the most beautiful of all, from darkness to light. — Mrs. H. S. C., Seattle, Wash. |

1306 | 163 | Rawson | 0 | Mental Malpractice | Show all | This is the class of thought that thinks evil of human beings and ocher things, such as, “ The man is a confirmed drunkard,” 44 That tree is a bad one.” As a rule, the term is used in cases where there is dislike or hate on the part'of the person speaking of the other one, hut it includes all classes of wrong thinking, as when a mother speaks of a child she loves and says, “ She is not very strong.” “Mental malpractice is a bland denial of Truth” (Mary Baker Eddy). It disappears when one knows that there is no mental malpractice, for man knows Truth and is absolutely loving towards all, Man never harms his fellow man but is always helping him. No harmful thoughts can come to man, for the only thoughts which can come to man are God’s thoughts, spiritual, perfect, divine and holy. There is only one thinker, God, infinite Mind. |

1307 | 164 | Rawson | 0 | Mental Suggestion | Show all | Mental suggestion may be what is called good or evil; in both cases it is followed by harm. When the mental suggestion is directly harmful, such as, “ He cannot possibly do the work,” it is called aggressive mental suggestion. When it is not of a directly harmful kind, such as, “ You will be able to do that work very well,” it is called mental sugges tion. One can work against this by realising that there is no mental suggestion, only God’s thoughts come to man ; God is the only speakei and the only hearer. |

In May, 1902, going home for lunch, on a bicycle, and while riding down a hill at a 27 rapid gait, I was thrown from the wheel, and falling on my left side with my arm under my head, the bone was broken about half-way between the shoulder and 30 elbow. While the pain was intense, I lay still in the dust, 1 declaring the truth and denying that there could be a break or accident in the realm of divine Love, 3 until a gentleman came to assist me, saying, he thought I had been stunned. I was only two and a half blocks from home, so I mounted my wheel again 6 and managed to reach it. On arriving there I lay down and asked my little boy to bring me our text- book. He immediately brought Science and Health, 9 which I read for about ten minutes, when all pain left. I said nothing to my family of the accident, but at- tended to some duties and was about half an hour late 12 in returning to the office, this being my only loss of time from work. My friends claimed that the arm had not been broken, as it would have been impossible for me to 15 continue my work without having it set, and carrying it in a sling until the bone knit together. Their insistence almost persuaded me that I might have been mistaken, 18 until one of my friends invited me to visit a physician's office where they were experimenting with an X-ray ma- chine. The physician was asked to examine my left 21 arm to see if it differed from the ordinary. On look- ing through it, he said, "Yes, it has been broken, but whoever set it made a perfect job of it, and you will 24 never have any further trouble from that break." My friend then asked the doctor to show how he could tell where the break had been. The doctor pointed 27 out the place as being slightly thicker at that part, like a piece of steel that had been welded. This was the first of several cases of mental surgery that 30 have come under my notice, and it made a deep impression on me. 1 For the benefit of others who may have something similar to meet, I will say that I have overcome almost 3 constant attacks of sick headaches, extending back to my earliest recollection. — L.

Man cannot be anxious about the spread of Truth, God is Truth and Truth is its own carrier, its own organ iser. There is no mortal mind to influence man, man receives the truth from God alone. God sends out His light and His truth, and is always ministering to man. Man cannot suffer from disillusionment, there is only one Mind. Man rejoices to recognise the one Spirit, his one source of wisdom and love. Man can never fail to carry God’s message, he is always passing on God’s ideas. Man never fails to reflect Truth in such a way as to cause delight and joy, and in expressing Truth gives infinite joy to infinite beings. |

1338 | 165 | Rawson | 0 | Mistakes | Show all | There are no mistakes, man reflects wisdom, intelligence, knowledge and discernment, and always knows and does the right thing, Man is spiritual, always saying and doing the right thing at the right time, for only God’s ideas come to man ; they unfold in perfect sequence, and arc rc-presented in perfect sequence, for man is governed by God, and God is the Principle of all law and order. Man cannot make mistakes, for man does perfect work, being led and governed by God. There is only one Mind, divine Mind, only one wisdom, divine wisdom, spiritual and perfect. Man is the wisdom of God. “0 the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of Gnd\ " (Ronn 11 : 33). |
||
1339 | 166 | Rawson | 0 | Misunderstandings | Show all | There arc no misunderstandings, there is only one Mind governing all, and man is the knowledge or consciousness of that one Mind, radiant with the light of divine intelligence, and therefore understanding thoroughly every idea of God that comes to him. God is Truth and man knows Truth, for man is the knowledge of God, the knowledge of Truth, dwelling in Truth “from everlasting to everlasting” (Ps. 90 : 2). |

1340 | 678 | S&H 18 | 0 | money - love of healed | Show all | When Christian Science first came to me, or rather, when I first came to Christian Science, I did not have a very bad opinion of myself. I thought I was a pretty good fellow. I had no religious views. I seemed to be getting along as well as, if not better than, some who professed Christianity. So I drifted along until I was led to investigate Christian Science. As I progressed in the understanding as gained from the study of both Science and Health and the Bible, and commenced to know myself, I found that a great change had been wrought in me. For fifteen years I had used tobacco, both chewing and smoking; for ten years I had been a victim of the drink habit, sometimes to excess; I was also addicted to profanity. Christian Science removed these appetites. A stomach trouble and other lesser ills, such as headache, a bad temper, an inordinate love of money, etc., disappeared under the same benign influence. Those things that seemed to be pleasure do not give me pleasure now. They were not real pleasure. I have lost nothing, I have sacrificed nothing; but I have gained everything, and not yet the whole, for I can see plenty yet to be done. The condition of mind before investigating and after is as different as black and white. As Mrs. Eddy says, "Not matter, but Mind, satisfieth. - G. B. P., Henry, S. D. |

1342 | 166 | Rawson | 0 | Moral Courage | Show all | There is no lack of courage, man is always doing what is right. There is no fear, man has trust in God, trust in good, and is absolutely fearless. Man never can be afraid of offending anyone, man always says and does what is right, for when man speaks and acts God speaks and acts ; God is the only speaker and the only actor, because God is cause, the one and only cause. |

1344 | 623 | S&H 18 | 0 | morphine healed | Show all | 9 CONSUMPTION QUICKLY CURED I became interested in Christian Science nearly five years ago through the healing of my wife of what the 12 doctors called consumption in its last stages. I had tried everything that I could get in the way of materia medica, and every doctor would tell me nearly the same story 15 about the case. At last they recommended for her only a higher, drier climate, and when she would be at her worst to give her something to quiet her. 18 I tried different climates, but she was no better, indeed worse. At last she struggled along until the first of March, 1899. She had taken to her bed again. 21 For two days and nights she suffered, and I called a physician. He came and diagnosed the case, and said that he could do nothing for her but give her some 24 morphine tablets to make her rest. I gave her two of them according to direction, and just before the time to give her the third, she called me to her bed- 27 side, and said, "Don't give me any more of that stuff, for it does me more harm than good," so I turned and placed them in the fire, though I did not then know any- 30 thing about Christian Science. We had heard of it, but 1 that was all. I gave her the last tablet at eight o'clock that night, and about nine o'clock the next day a lady 3 who had been healed in Christian Science visited her, and introduced her to this great truth. She accepted it and thought she would try it. The lady loaned her Sci- 6 ence and Health. She got the book about ten o'clock that day and read it until dinner was called. She ate a hearty dinner, the first in about three days, and that same 9 evening she dressed herself, walked into the dining-room, ate a hearty supper and enjoyed it. She slept well that night. She borrowed this lady's copy of Science and 12 Health two hours each day for eight days, and was healed. The first day that she read Science and Health she weighed about ninety-five pounds. Three months 15 later she weighed one hundred and thirty-five pounds. — A. J. D., Houston, Tex. |

My condition had 21 reached the stage in which I had periodical attacks, that came on with greater frequency. I was a travelling sales- man, and it was a common occurrence for me to have to 24 call a physician to my hotel to administer morphine for an acute form of this disease. This became a regular thing at certain places, and these attacks always left me 27 worse than before. As a result of the last one I lost a great deal in weight. I had tried many physicians and most of the usual remedies during these years of suffer- 30 ing, without any good result. Finally, as a last resort, I 1 decided to try Christian Science, and I was healed by reading "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" 3 by Mrs. Eddy. My health has been of the best since I was healed, now six years ago. In the family we have depended entirely 6 on Christian Science for our healing, and have ever found it efficacious. We consider the physical healing, however, only incidental to the understanding of God and His good- 9 ness. This, together with our increased love for the Bible, is proving most valuable to us. We are humbly trying to live the lives that will prove our gratitude to God, and 12 to our beloved Leader, Mrs. Eddy. — Charles E. Peck, St. Johnsbury, Vt. |

1346 | 166 | Rawson | 0 | Mortal or Carnal Mind, or No-Mind | Show all | Mortal mind is the name given to the imaginary cause of all evil, or mist of matter which appears to hide heaven. It is the supposititious opposite of God, and is a synonym for what is called in the Bible “the serpent*' “Satan” “the devil” “enmity against God” etc. Its ultimate basis from a natural science point of view is small electrical particles, negative at one end and positive at the other, which in belief aggregate together in what is known as matter and hide heaven from us. These particles of electricity keep on short circuiting themselves and disappearing. They therefore have no existence or reality. It is a synonym for what is known in natural science as die dhcr, the cause of all our 4r<»uble, as the matter it forms bides heaven and brings about a suppositional absence of good, called evil. "The carnal Mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be” (Rom. 8:7). In working against it you can realise that there is no mortal mind, there is only one Mind, God, infinite good. |

1347 | 167 | Rawson | 0 | Mortal Sense | Show all | There is no mortal sense, man’s senses arc spiritual, pure and perfect, clearly discerning Gtid’s immortal ideas and the real forms of divine creation. Man’s Mind is God, his mental attitude is spiritual. Conscious ness pervades the world of Truth and secs all circumstances and surround ings as spiritual and harmonious. All senses arc God’s senses, pure and painless, realising the joys of Mind, satisfied with the glories of Life and rejoicing in the fulness of Love. |

Some of the best physicians in Boston 6 had pronounced his case incurable, saying that if he lived he would always be an invalid and a cripple. One of the diseases was gastric catarrh. He was allowed 9 to eat but very few things, and even after taking every precaution, he suffered to the extent that he would lie in spasms for half a day. He also had rickets; physi- 12 cians saying that there was not a natural bone in his body. It was while he was in what seemed to be his greatest 15 agony, and when I was in the darkest despair, that I first heard of Christian Science. The bearer of the joyful tidings could only tell me to come and hear of the wonder- 18 ful things that Christian Science was doing. I accepted the invitation, for I was willing to try anything to save my child, and the following Friday evening I attended 21 my first meeting, which was in The Mother Church of Christ, Scientist. Long before the service began every seat was filled, which was amazing to me, being an ordi- 24 nary weekly meeting, and that night I realized from the testimonies given that Christian Science was the religion for which I had been searching for years. The next 27 day I went to find a practitioner, but was unable to get the one who had been recommended, he being too busy. On my way home I thought of some of the testimonies 30 which I had heard the night before, — of people being 1 healed by simply reading Science and Health. I resolved at once to borrow a copy, and not dreaming of the 3 sacrifice that my friend would make by conferring such a favor, I went and asked her for a loan of Science and Health. I never saw any one part so reluctantly 6 with a book as my friend did with her copy of the textbook. I read it silently and audibly, day and night, in my 9 home, and although I could not seem to understand it, yet the healing commenced to take place at once. The little mouth which had been twisted by spasms 12 grew natural and the child was soon able to be up, playing and romping about the house as any child should. About this time we decided to move to the 15 far West. I was young in Science at the time, and my husband greatly feared that the journey would cause a relapse 18 for the child, but instead, he continued to improve. I constantly read the Bible, Science and Health, and Mis- cellaneous Writings, the two weeks we traveled, and we 21 were the only ones in our car who, throughout the journey, did not get train sick. The child's limbs grew perfectly straight, he ate anything he wanted, and for years he has 24 been a natural, healthy child in every way. He has passed through some of the worst forms of contagion untouched and unharmed. 27 I had been reading Science and Health several months, before I gave any thought to myself and my numerous complaints. I had never been very strong, and some of 30 my ailments were supposed to be hereditary and chronic, hence I dragged through many tedious years with a belief in medical laws and hereditary laws resting upon me. 1 Just before I commenced reading Science and Health I spent a half day in having my eyes examined by one 3 of the leading oculists in Boston. His verdict was that my eyes were in a dreadful condition, and that I would always need to wear glasses. In the meantime I com- 6 menced to read Science and Health, and when I thought of my eyes, I had no need for glasses. The years that I have been in Science I have used my eyes incessantly, 9 night as well as day, doing all kinds of trying work and without requiring the aid of glasses. I was healed of all my complaints whilst seeking the truth for my child, 12 and many of them have never returned. Those that appeared simply came to the surface to be destroyed. Teeth have been restored and facial blemishes re- 15 moved, unconsciously, simply by reading Science and Health. All of this is, however, nothing to compare with the spiritual uplifting which I have received, and 18 I have everything to be thankful for. — M. T. W., Los Angeles, Cal. |

Man’s muscles cannot be stretched, for all God’s ideas arc in the right place, ministering to man and benefiting man. Man’s muscles never fail to act properly, they arc ideas of God, divine ; no nerves can ever cause the muscles to work improperly, for man’s nerves are spiritual, ministering to man and benefiting man.

There is no fear, man has absolute trust in God, trust in good, there is nothing but good, and man knows there is nothing but good. Man is absolutely fearless.

1357 | 168 | Rawson | 0 | Muscles - Composition | Show all | Man is made in the image and likeness of God ; he therefore reflects divine wisdom, intelligence and knowledge. He knows everything he needs instantly, he does perfect work in re-presenting God’s ideas. There is no difficulty in receiving these ideas, they unfold to him with perfect sequence, and he groups them together into glorious combina tions which radiate out in infinite Mind giving infinite beings joy and happiness. These combinations are absolutely perfect; they are per fectly grouped together and give infinite joy to all those whose attention is drawn to them, and there are infinite beings who receive joy from every combination of ideas that God groups together by means of man. The glorious combinations which continually unfold to man are never broken, they unfold in perfect sequence, and each following sequence of combinations is absolutely complete and perfect. No additional grouping of ideas is ever required, for God is the Principle of all law and order, and every sequence of ideas is governed by law and by order, and is full, perfect and complete. To save loss of time in producing the composition, it may be realised that there is no loss of time, everything is done instantly; God rules and governs all, God is the only worker ; God’s ideas unfold to man with perfect sequence, idea after idea. Man knows instantly everything he needs, for man is God’s consciousness, divine and perfect. Some composers may be persuaded to try writing something of a lower quality than their best, writing down to the public, thinking that it will be better for them. This is a mistake : you cannot possibly compose anything that is too good. Every time you think a thought of this sort you have to reverse it and realise that there is no necessity for anything less than absolute perfection, for the combination of God’s ideas are always perfect in every detail, and always give infinite joy to all who become conscious of them. Man understands all these combinations perfectly because man is God’s consciousness and has perfect under standing. |

Man never harms his fellow man, for God is Love and man is loving, always helping and benefiting his fellow man. Then to prevent people going out too soon, and interrupting in this way, you can realise that man never goes out too soon, for God is the Principle of all law and order ; man does everything at the right time.

With infinite tenderness Love unfolds the harmonies of Life, filling consciousness with the fulness of joy. No matter can possibly prevent man from fully enjoying these perfect ideas, man has infinite capacity of revealing the divine beauty, delighting his fellow man with his perfect expression of divine harmony. Mortal mind cannot interfere with man’s recognition of God’s ideas which continually unfold and give joy and happiness. There is no mortal mind, only one Mind, God, and He rules and governs all. The mechanical playing in some players develops into “ thumping.” In such a case you can stop this at once by realising that there can be no discordant sounds in heaven, only the concord of Love divinely expressed.

1370 | 170 | Rawson | 0 | Muscles - Obtaining a Hearing | Show all | God’s ideas are never in the wrong place, they always unfold and are re-presented exactly where they are needed. There is a perfect law of supply and demand, for man is led and governed by God and re-presents God’s ideas absolutely in the right place, for God is the Principle of all good, and man is governed by good and good alone. Man never wants anything, God’s ideas are always received directly they are needed, for God gives man everything he needs instantly.

Treatment will overcome this entirely by the realisation that man is never undecided, for God’s ideas unfold to him in perfect sequence. Life is the law of Soul and Life settles the order in which the ideas unfold to man. They come with absolutely unfailing regularity, idea after idea, all in perfect sequence and correct order; man groups together these ideas as they come, and re-presents them with perfect sequence. He knows instantly everything that he needs. There are no mistakes, for God rules and God governs all. |

In other cases, it may be spoken of as a natural difficulty against which one has to treat. In any case, work against fear and nerves, and realise also that the harmony of God’s world is never disturbed, as every note is spiritual, a manifesta tion of God, and in perfect attunement with all others, ensuring perfect sequence. Love is the power which causes the ideas to circulate in Mind, and the work of Love is perfect. Every idea of God gives man intense joy and happiness, and every idea manifests God in all His divine aspects. (Work against tiredness). |

Personality is always a difficulty, not only with artists, but with everyone ; we are so affected by what people say, do and think. When you know that there are no people there at all, but at the utmost they are simply a series of cinema pictures, flashing by, half your trouble has gone. At the same time, if you suffer from it at all, you should always treat against it by realising, for instance, that there is no personality, the only person is God, no material person can have any effect upon man, for all men are spiritual. Man never harms his fellow man, he is always helping him and benefiting him. Man cannot think or say anything except to help his fellow man. Sometimes it is necessary as well to work against nerves.

1380 | 172 | Rawson | 0 | Muscles - Rhythm | Show all | It is not easy to explain exactly what rhythm is, although it is very easy to know whether a singer or a dancer is rhythmic. Rhythm suggests movement that is in balanced harmony with itself. The method of work ing for it is to realise that there is no want of rhythm, all ideas unfold with perfect sequence to man and arc reflected in accordance with the laws of God—namely,- in perfect harmony, sequence, and completeness, for God is the Principle of all law and all order. God’s ideas flow with perfect rhythm because they arc eyer in perfect relationship to all, and are rc-prcsented with perfect rhythm, giving absolute joy to all. |

1381 | 172 | Rawson | 0 | Muscles - Self-Consciousness | Show all | There is no self-consciousness, for man’s Self is God ; man can never think of himself, he thinks only of God and God’s ideas, for man is God’s consciousness, by means of which God is Self-conscious and thinks and works and speaks and hears and loves and docs all. |

1382 | 172 | Rawson | 0 | Muscles - Sweetness | Show all | In some cases a player will have all other requisites and yet be deficient in sweetness, for instance, with the ’cello or violin there will be a roughness in a rendering which otherwise is perfect. Here you can realise there is no want of sweetness, God’s ideas are absolutely perfect, delighting man, reflecting the purity and sweetness of Spirit, the Principle of all purity and holiness. When one thinks of the entrancing beauty of perfect music in the material world one is able to form some dim idea of the absolute perfection of the real music in heaven.

I had what the doctors 21 diagnosed as muscular rheumatism, dropsy, and con- stipation of thirty years' standing. A dear friend whom I had known as an invalid had been healed by Christian 24 Science and advised me to read Science and Health. I did so, having a desire to know the truth. One of my troubles was that I could not sleep. I began reading the 27 Bible and the Christian Science textbook, and troubles of every kind disappeared before I had read Science and Health through. The thought came, What about the 30 old remedies? but truth prevailed, and I took all the 1 material remedies I had and threw them away. That was seven years ago, and I have not had any use for them 3 since. My husband was healed of the tobacco habit of fifty years' standing, also of kidney trouble, by read- ing Science and Health. I have not words to express 6 the gratitude I feel to-day for the many blessings that have come to our home. — Mrs. M. K. O., Seattle, Wash. |

I know from experience 1 that it is prejudice and misapprehension of what Christian Science is, that keeps many from enjoying the blessings 3 it bestows. I had been taking patent medicines for several years, and had been to one of the best sanitariums in this country, 6 but was not healed, although I received some benefit, for which I shall always feel grateful, for I know the physi- cians did all they could for me. I sometimes thought 9 I had exhausted all remedies, but did not give up, for I felt there must be something to heal me if I could find it. 12 When in this state of mind Christian Science came to my notice, and after reading several Journals, I pur- chased a copy of Science and Health. I read for several 15 days at odd times. I commenced to improve, and in about a week I was healed of most of my ills, among which were dyspepsia and nervous debility. 18 Although I had heard about Christian Science before, I had never heard that the reading of the Christian Science textbook had ever effected the healing of anybody. 21 I commenced reading to find out what Christian Science was, but was surprised to find myself improving, and was soon assured that it was the theology of Science and 24 Health that healed me, just as it was the theology of Jesus that healed the sick. It has also proved to me that there can be no 27 Christian Science Church that does not heal the sick and sinful, for healing follows as the natural result of the teaching of Christian Science. The Bible has become 30 a new revelation to me, and I can read it much more understandingly by the light received through the reading of Science and Health. — A. F. M., Fairmont, Minn. |

Where would I be now, had not this blessed truth been 30 brought to me by much persuasion of a very dear friend? 1 I certainly should have been deep in the slough of despond, if not in the grave. Am I truly thankful for all the good 3 that has come to me and mine? I try to let my works testify of that; but to those whom I do not meet in person, I can truly say, Yes; I am indeed more thankful than 6 words can express for the glorious healing that has come to me, both physical, mental, and moral, and I also con- vey herein, my song of gratitude to the dear Leader who 9 has through her fidelity to Truth enabled me to touch at least the hem of Christ's garment. — B.

After a 12 patient and persistent effort of three months' duration, to procure a copy of Science and Health (during which time I had visited every bookstore, and many of the second- 15 hand bookstores in the city of St. Paul), and had failed to find it, I at last remembered that the stranger who told me I might be healed, had mentioned a name, and 18 McVicker's Theatre Building in Chicago as being in some way connected with the work. I sent there for information regarding a book called Health and Science, 21 and the return mail brought me the book, Science and Health, and in it I at once found sure promise of deliver- ance from valvular heart disease, with all the accompani- 24 ments, such as extreme nervousness, weakness, dyspepsia, and insomnia. I had suffered from these all my life, finding no permanent relief, even, in material remedies, 27 and no hope of cure at any time. Only those who have been held in such bondage and have been liberated by the same means, can know the eager joy of the first perusal 30 of that wonderful book. 1 Half a day's reading convinced me that I had found the way to holiness and health. I read on, thinking only 3 of the spiritual enlightenment, content to wait until I should be led to some person who would heal me; but old things had passed away, and all things had become 6 new. I was completely healed before I had met a Scien- tist, or one who knew anything about Christian Science, and before I had read a line of any other Christian Science 9 literature except one leaf of a tract; so it is absolutely certain that the healing was entirely impersonal, as was also the teaching, which enabled me to begin at once 12 demonstrating the power of Truth to destroy all forms of error. — E.

1408 | 686 | S&H 18 | 0 | neuralgia for 30 years healed | Show all | HEALED PHYSICALLY AND SPIRITUALLY I had been taking medicine continually for many 12 years. Finally I was taken suddenly ill and could not leave my room for about two months, then I went away for three months, thinking that I should come back 15 and be able to continue my work. I improved very much, but the fear of quick consumption was with my doctor and my family and friends, and I was warned about the 18 coming winter. Only too soon the fear manifested itself. I had worked just three weeks when all the pains and aches returned, and I had to go to bed as soon as I 21 got home, so there was no pleasure in living. My em- ployer advised me to see my physician, and said perhaps I should not work that winter. I then and there turned 24 to Christian Science. I could not afford to give up work and live away from home, neither did I want to depend on doctors and medicine any longer. I took the book 27 and read it on my way to work, and at noon I lay down on a couch instead of going out for luncheon and fell asleep. When I awoke I was a different person, all 30 pains and aches had gone, and I was free. I was so 1 happy I could hardly contain myself; to material sense it was wonderful. As I walked I kept saying, 3 "Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful," and tried to un- derstand "the scientific statement of being" by repeat- ing portions at a time, then pondering over them. I 6 read the book four times in succession, and every time I found more and more to aid in the under- standing. 9 This healing was in October, 1901, with no other help than Science and Health, and soon I was relieved of other chronic ailments. In February I was able to 12 put away eyeglasses, which I had worn ten years and a half for astigmatism. Oculists told me I would always have to wear them. A month later my father asked 15 me to help him, as he was suffering so much from con- stipation, dyspepsia, and neuralgia. He had been sub- sisting on bran, nearly starving himself until he was most 18 miserable, and his limbs seemed so cold that they were kept wrapped in blankets. I felt very humble as he asked me, and told him I would have a practitioner help 21 him, as I had never treated any one; but he would not consent to have any one but myself, and I finally told him I would try, but that he must not hold Science respon- 24 sible if he were not benefited, for my lack of understand- ing, and not Science, would be at fault. At my request he read Science and Health, ate whatever he wanted, 27 and used no medicine in any form. After two treat- ments I received word from him that he was healed of that bondage of thirty years' standing. In view of 30 all these signs which followed my acceptance of Chris- tian Science, I knew it must be true. — R. L. A., Chicago, Ill. |

1409 | 616 | S&H 18 | 0 | neuralgia healed | Show all | GRATEFUL FOR MANY BLESSINGS In the year 1901, Christian Science found me a hope- 30 less invalid. I had suffered for seven years previous with a very painful back, the result of an operation. I could 1 get no rest or sleep at night, as I could not lie down, but had to sit propped in a chair with pillows around me. 3 Only those who have suffered as I did can know the full misery of it. I had come to the end of material means and never hoped to get well. One day, however, while 6 out walking, it was my good fortune to come to a Christian Scientist's house, and there the teaching was explained to me. I was advised to buy Science and Health, which 9 I did, and the study of this book has healed my back en- tirely. Christian Science has also cured me of long- standing catarrh of the throat, and neuralgia with which 12 I had been afflicted from childhood. Before coming into Science I had doctored with three of the best physicians in Seattle, but none could give me relief. 15 I am no longer a sufferer, but rejoice exceedingly in Christian Science. God's promise has been fulfilled to me, "But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of 18 righteousness arise with healing in his wings." — E. O., Georgetown, Wash. |

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. — S., Shellman, Ga. |

Some years ago I was pronounced by a pro- 24 fessor of materia medica, whose works are in general use, a neurasthenic. I had been in this condition more or less for eight years, and up to two years ago, when Christian 27 Science was first brought to my attention (thanks to Al- mighty God) through a kind friend, I was almost con- stantly taking medicine and had in all eleven physicians 30 who undoubtedly did their best, but without avail, not- 1 withstanding almost all known drugs were prescribed, and further I had tried very many patent medicines. I 3 was also put through forms of hygienic treatment and other things that offered inducements. At the time of coming into Science I was taking three times daily forty 6 minims of cod-liver oil and three of creosote, also three drops of Fowler's solution of arsenic, and on the month or so previous had bought eighteen dollars' worth of 9 patent medicine. I was restricted to the simplest means of diet, — all stews, fries, sweets, berries, and tomatoes I had not touched for two years. 12 I started to read Science and Health, and before I had half finished the book once I was eating everything that any one does. I read the book eleven times straight 15 ahead and many times skipping about. The book has done the work and I am a well man. — C. E. M., Philadelphia, Pa. |

After some opposition, I decided to in- 3 vestigate it, with the thought that if this teaching would be helpful, it was meant for me as well as for others; if it did not afford any help, I could put it aside again, but 6 that I would find out and be convinced. After I had read Mrs. Eddy's work, Science and Health, a few days, I found that my ailments had disappeared, 9 and a rest had come to me which I had never before known. I had smoked almost incessantly, although I had often determined to use my will power and never smoke again, 12 but had always failed. This desire as well as the de- sire for drink simply disappeared, and I wish to say here, that I received all these benefits before I had gained much 15 understanding of what I was reading. Like a prisoner, who had been in chains for years, I was suddenly set free. I did not then know how the chain had been removed, 18 but I had to acknowledge that it came through the reading of this book. I then felt an ardent desire to read more, and to know what this power was that had freed me 21 in a few days of that which I had been trying for years to shake off and had failed. It then became clear to me that this was the truth which Jesus Christ taught 24 and preached to free humanity almost two thousand years ago. It did not, however, occur to me to apply it in my business affairs; on the contrary, I first thought 27 that if I continued in my study I would have to retire from business. This did not happen, however, for I gradually found 30 that the little understanding of this wonderful teach- ing which I had acquired became a great help to me in my business. I became more friendly, more honest, 1 more loving to my fellow-men; and I also acquired better judgment and was able to do the right thing at the right 3 time. As a natural result my business improved. Be- fore I knew anything of Christian Science my business had often been a burden to me, fear and worry deprived 6 me of my rest. How different it is now! Through the study of the Bible, which now possesses unmeasurable treasures for me, and of our textbook, Science and Health, 9 and the other works of our Leader, I receive peace and confidence in God and that insight into character which is necessary for the correct management of any business. 12 — W.

Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment? Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they? Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature? And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin: And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to-day is, and to-morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith? Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things. But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

1440 | 183 | Rawson | 0 | Operations, Medical | Show all | Working for operations divides itself into three headings :— i. To try and stop or postpone the operation so as to give time for the person to be healed with the treatment. One works also for the surgeon so that he advises what is best for the patient. 2. One then works so that the surgeon should do his work well and the operation be satisfactory in every way. 3. One then works for the patient against after effects and so that there is a quick and satisfactory recovery. |

1441 | 183 | Rawson | 0 | Operations, Medical - After the Operation | Show all | There are no bad effects, God is the only cause, He is the law to all things; “the law of the Lord is perfect” (Ps. 19 : 7). There is no sickness, man’s food is the ideas of God ; man hever has to remain in bed, man is ever active and ever energetic, moving with freedom and joy from idea to idea. No man can stop that circulation of God’s ideas for God’s ideas always circulate in Mind, and God is Truth and man therefore thoroughly understands and deals with these ideas. This action is regular and ever taking place, being the action of God, infinite Mind. Man’s skin is never cut, man’s skin is the loving action of God which preserves man’s individuality, reflecting substance and entity, always the same, ministering to man and benefiting man. Man’s muscles are never cut, man’s muscles are God’s thought forces, reflecting substance and entity, ministering to man and benefiting man. Man’s tissues were never cut, all God’s ideas are eternally perfect and complete. (Work against fear, heart weakness, germs, septic poisoning, pain, weakness, and loss of blood.) |

1442 | 183 | Rawson | 0 | Operations, Medical - To Avoid the Operation | Show all | Man never can be operated on for man is God’s consciousness, complete and perfect; the only operation is the operation of God which never mutilates, but maintains man’s entity and completeness, giving him infinite joy and happiness. Man is spiritual and governed by God, God is the only power and the only ruler. God’s ideas can never be injured, they are indestructible and perfect; man is never compelled to injure anything in order to do good ; for the only compulsion is the will of God, the compulsion of Love ; Love’s law is “a// things work together for good” (Rom. 8 : 38). Man’s body is not material, it is spiritual; there is no disease requiring operation, for man’s body is the body of Christ, the embodiment of Ttuth, perfect, beautiful, spiritual, eternally holy, “the same yesterday, and to day and for ever” (Hcb. 13:8). |

1443 | 183 | Rawson | 0 | Operations, Medical - To Help the Operation | Show all | There is no danger in an anaesthetic, for man is always conscious, unceasingly conscious of Clod. There arc no mistakes, man reflects divine wisdom, intelligence and knowledge; man does perfect work, for when man works, God works, God works by means of man, who is a perfect being in a perfect world, governed by a perfect God, and always does perfect and divine work, for God is the Principle of all knowledge and man knows everything he needs instantly. |
||
1444 | 184 | Rawson | 0 | Orders | Show all | There is no want of orders, because God’s ideas are always unfolding to man with absolutely unfailing ease and regularity. Man receives these ideas and re-presents them to his fellow man, giving him joy and happiness, and receives ideas in exchange, which bring him joy and happiness. There are no means of stopping that action because there is only one Mind, God, Who governs all. There is a perfect law of supply and demand, when man needs an idea he knows where to get it; when man desires to pass on an idea he knows where to pass it, for God is the Principle of all knowledge and man knows instantly what he needs to know. There is a perfect interchange of ideas con tinually taking place, for God is the Principle of all law and order, and Love is the power which causes the ideas to circulate and Love is the power which causes man to pass on the ideas to his fellow men, md Love is omnipotent, for Love is God. God’s ideas unfold to man in perfect sequence and are re-presented in perfect sequence. These dcas come to him as perfect combinations and he groups together :hese ideas into new combinations which radiate out in infinite Mind md give man joy and happiness. |

1446 | 682 | S&H 18 | 0 | organic trouble healed | Show all | MANY TROUBLES OVERCOME In the second chapter of First Peter, ninth verse, I 18 read "that ye should show forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light." The periodicals so wisely established by our 21 Leader give us one means of showing forth the praises of Truth. From the darkness of physical pain and weariness into 24 the light of wholeness and joyousness in work and living, — from the darkness of a clouded sight into the light of clearer vision, — from the darkness of doubt 27 and discord into the marvellous light of the reality of good, — this is what a reading of the Christian Science textbook has done for me. 30 At the time the book was lent to me, I was teach- 1 ing in the public schools of Chicago, and absences from my work on account of illness were of frequent occurrence. 3 For five weeks I had been under the care of a specialist for an organic trouble, and he said I would have to come as many more months before a cure could be effected. 6 At this time, Science and Health was brought to my notice. I never thought of such a thing as being healed by the reading of the book, but my thought was so changed 9 that I was healed, not only of the organic trouble, but of blurred eyesight, fatigue, and a train of other discordant manifestations. I did not go back to the physician 12 until four months later to pay my bill (which, by the way, was more than five times the price of the Science and Health I had purchased). From the time I read 15 the book I taught steadily without losing time from my work. I was helped, too, with my work in many other ways. 18 Through reading the textbook I learned that God has given us strength to do all we have to do, and that it is the things we do not have to do (the envying, strife, emu- 21 lating, vainglorying, and so on) that leave in their wake fatigue and discord. Gratitude to our beloved Leader, Mrs. Eddy, and 24 to her faithful students, with whom I afterwards be- came associated, can be expressed only by daily efforts to put into practice what has been taught. — T.

For a number of years previous I had been a semi- 12 invalid with no hope of ever being well and strong again. Several years before this time I had undergone an operation which resulted in peritonitis. For three 15 years previous to my study of Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy, I was scarcely ever free from headache caused by the weakened and diseased condition of the 18 internal organs. At the time I began the study of Christian Science I was taking five kinds of medicine. I began to read Science and Health, and did not 21 take treatment, for I thought, "If this is truth, I shall be healed; if it is not, I shall be able to detect it, and will have nothing to do with it." I became a 24 devoted student and gradually my bodily diseases left me, — I was free, and since that time, nearly ten years ago, neither my two children nor myself have 27 taken any medicine; and our understanding of truth has been able to meet and overcome any suggestion of illness. 30 I was a devoted member of an orthodox church, 1 but as I grew older I began to question my beliefs, and to my questions I could find no satisfactory an- 3 swer. I became dissatisfied and finally ceased attend- ing church. I could not accept the idea of God taught there, and at last my friends looked sadly upon me as 6 an atheist. There I stood until I learned to know God as revealed in Science and Health, and then all my questionings were answered. In my girlhood I had 9 always prayed to the God I held in mind, and when the shadows of sickness, pain, and death came to my family, I prayed as only those can who know that if 12 He helps not, there is none; but my prayers were unanswered. Then I closed my Bible, saying, "There is a mistake somewhere, perhaps some time I may 15 know." Only those who know the attitude of mind that I was in can understand the joy that came to me as I 18 began to learn of God in Christian Science, and of my relation to Him. Many proofs of the healing power of Truth and of 21 His protecting care throng my thoughts. Seven years ago, when we were in a far distant country, where Christian Science was then unknown, my little daughter 24 came in one morning from her school, saying, "Mother, I have measles; twenty of the girls are sick in bed and I am afraid they will put me there also." Her face, hands, 27 and chest were covered with a deep red rash, throat sore, and eyes inflamed. We began immediately to do our work in Science and at night, when I left her at the door of the 30 college, her face was clear, her eyes bright, and all fear destroyed. That was the end of the disease. — F. M. P., Boston, Mass. |

God does not conceive two ideas, or two com- >inations of ideas, alike, for God is infinite, the one infinite Mind, jiving to each individualised consciousness its individual power of eflecting God. Man is spiritual and perfect, and when man groups ogether God’s ideas into combinations, every one of them is different, very one of them new, every one of them absolutely perfect. When nan thinks, God thinks. God and man arc inseparable, and God, nd God alone, is the source and origin of all ideas. “ For of him, nd through him, and to him are all things: to whom be glory for ever ” Rom. n : 36). |

The originals are in the possession of the Editor, who can authenticate the testimonials which follow. RHEUMATISM HEALED 12 I was a great sufferer from a serious form of rheumatic trouble, my hands being affected to such an extent that it was impossible for me even to dress without assistance. 15 The trouble finally reached the knees, and I became very lame and had to be assisted in and out of bed. I went to the different health resorts for the benefit I hoped to 18 derive from the baths and waters that were prescribed by 1 physicians, but found no permanent relief. I was placed under an X-ray examination, and was told that the joints 3 were becoming ossified. I then consulted a celebrated specialist, who after a thorough examination said my condition would continue to grow worse and that I would 6 become completely helpless. At that time a copy of "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mrs. Eddy was loaned me. I read it 9 more from curiosity than with the thought of any physical benefit. As the truth was unfolded to me, I realized that the mental condition was what needed correcting, and 12 that the Spirit of truth which inspired this book was my physician. My healing is complete, and the liberation in thought is manifest in a life of active usefulness rather 15 than the bondage of helpless invalidism and suffering. I owe to our beloved Leader, Mrs. Eddy, gratitude which words cannot express. Her revelation of the practical 18 rather than the merely theoretical application of Jesus' words, "Ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free," proved to be my redeemer. I did not 21 even have to apply to a practitioner, but am most grate- ful for the helpful words of loving friends. — E. B. B., Pasadena, Cal. |

In May, 1902, going home for lunch, on a bicycle, and while riding down a hill at a 27 rapid gait, I was thrown from the wheel, and falling on my left side with my arm under my head, the bone was broken about half-way between the shoulder and 30 elbow. While the pain was intense, I lay still in the dust, 1 declaring the truth and denying that there could be a break or accident in the realm of divine Love, 3 until a gentleman came to assist me, saying, he thought I had been stunned. I was only two and a half blocks from home, so I mounted my wheel again 6 and managed to reach it. On arriving there I lay down and asked my little boy to bring me our text- book. He immediately brought Science and Health, 9 which I read for about ten minutes, when all pain left. I said nothing to my family of the accident, but at- tended to some duties and was about half an hour late 12 in returning to the office, this being my only loss of time from work. My friends claimed that the arm had not been broken, as it would have been impossible for me to 15 continue my work without having it set, and carrying it in a sling until the bone knit together. Their insistence almost persuaded me that I might have been mistaken, 18 until one of my friends invited me to visit a physician's office where they were experimenting with an X-ray ma- chine. The physician was asked to examine my left 21 arm to see if it differed from the ordinary. On look- ing through it, he said, "Yes, it has been broken, but whoever set it made a perfect job of it, and you will 24 never have any further trouble from that break." My friend then asked the doctor to show how he could tell where the break had been. The doctor pointed 27 out the place as being slightly thicker at that part, like a piece of steel that had been welded. This was the first of several cases of mental surgery that 30 have come under my notice, and it made a deep impression on me. 1 For the benefit of others who may have something similar to meet, I will say that I have overcome almost 3 constant attacks of sick headaches, extending back to my earliest recollection. — L.

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 silently 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. |

So aggravated were the conditions that for three years or more I was unable to drink a glass of cold 6 water. Everything that I drank had to be hot, and my only means of relief from the bowel trouble was hot water injections, for a period of more than three years. 9 I can truthfully say that I was permanently, and I might say instantly, healed of those two ailments by reading Science and Health as before stated, and in fact I do not 12 think I had read more than thirty pages of this book when I ignored entirely the most rigid kind of diet. I ate and drank everything I wished without a single harmful effect 15 from that time to this date, and there has not been a drop of medicine in our home for more than six years, in a fam- ily of five. 18 I have also seen the power of Truth manifested in our home by having our youngest child relieved of the most excruciating pain, and changed to his most playful mood, 21 immediately upon notifying one of the faithful practi- tioners of this city. For all this I am endeavoring to be thankful to God and to our faithful Leader, Mrs. Eddy, 24 whose pure and undefiled life enabled her to discover this precious truth for the benefit of all mankind. — M.

From birth I was considered a very weakly child, but my mother was brave, and being much devoted to me did everything within her knowledge and power for my comfort. Sickness and medicine were continually before me, and by the time I reached my teens I thought I knew a material remedy for every ill. I continued in my delusion, because I was never told the real cause of my trouble. Besides being under a leading specialist for two years, I was also an outdoor patient at a noted hospital, but I was not healed. It is wonderful how the "little ones" are cared for in the face of all these seeming difficulties. I always used the prayers that I had been taught, and as I grew older I began to ask for wisdom. Little by little I gained a desire for freedom, and my prayers finally led me to the truth. The first week that I heard of Christian Science, I visited the home of dear Christian Science friends, and was at once refreshed by their purity of thought and example. I bought a copy of Science and Health, and, after studying it a little while with the Bible, I saw that if the Bible was true, Science and Health must also be true. I began to demonstrate over my physical and mental condition, and as soon as the fear and pain began to leave me I felt encouraged to go on. I was healed, and stopped complaining. I kept on studying our textbook, and when I got an understanding in a small degree of the Science of Mind, my first thought was to help others. I was guided where I could progress in Science, and was no longer "carried about with every wind of doctrine," but held to Principle as closely as possible. From the time the healing came into my consciousness, the desire for material remedies left me, because Christian Science at once pointed out the way to get at the cause of discord and disease. All that I had to give up were the false beliefs of mortal mind. Christian Science then taught me to love the church, and to appreciate what it had already done for mankind. I often thought of the old adage, "Charity begins at home," and after three years' preparation I felt able to take Christian Science to my home, where it found, in due time, ready acceptance and willing disciples. This gave me even greater joy than my own healing. The more good I saw accomplished, the more love I had for the truth. Christian Science changed my course from the first, and gave me a nobler aim and purpose in life. I was not so easily influenced by other people's shortcomings, when I learned that evil has neither personality nor place. I was not so ready to take offence, when I found out the way to work unselfishly for the upbuilding of the Cause. - A. E. J., Toledo, Ohio. |

1471 | 679 | S&H 18 | 0 | pain healed | Show all | I should like to express my gratitude for the many benefits I have received through Christian Science, and to mention the great joy brought to me in the thought that man is not the helpless victim of sin, disease, and death. Through its teachings I have been able to overcome many errors. When Christian Science found me, one year ago last April, in Chicago, I was suffering from catarrh of the stomach, which had been very persistent, and I had been a slave to the cigarette habit for eighteen years. Pain and weakness had robbed me of all that one holds dear. The first symptoms of the disease appeared about five years ago in the form of severe cramps of the stomach, which finally developed into other symptoms of that painful disease. I doctored continually, my diet daily becoming more rigid, until three slices of toast became my daily allowance of food. In this condition I left the East for my home in Chicago, hoping that a change of climate might benefit me. After spending six weeks there and finding no relief, I concluded to return East. The Sunday morning before leaving I picked up a Sunday paper, and glancing through the religious items my eyes fell on the notices of Christian Science church services. Curiosity led me to a service and I shall never forget that morning or the surprise and joy it gave me to find that beautiful church, and to know that so great a number actually believed that God does heal the sick today. This brought a first ray of hope. The evening service found me there again. Among the notices read was that of a reading room, giving the location and time of opening. Monday morning found me there promptly, and the first book I picked up was Science and Health which opened a new world to me. I had dieted so long and suffered so much that I had a morbid fear of food. When I had reached and read of "neither food nor the stomach, without the consent of mortal mind, can make one suffer" (Science and Health, p. 221), I left the reading room for something to eat. I found a bakery near by, and bought a bag of cakes which I ate, and shortly after I had a hearty dinner without the least complaint from my stomach. From that time until now I have eaten anything that I wished, and the craving for cigarettes, which I had for many years, has entirely vanished. The understanding of Truth, which entirely relieved the diseased stomach, healed also the morbid appetite for smoking. After coming back East, I bought a copy of Science and Health, which I have read daily, and find it a continual help in all the affairs of life. In my home and at work I find this Science a comfort and source of strength. I have had many difficulties in the way, but it has helped me out of them all. - W. E. B., New Britain, Conn. |

1472 | 686 | S&H 18 | 0 | pain healed | Show all | HEALED PHYSICALLY AND SPIRITUALLY I had been taking medicine continually for many 12 years. Finally I was taken suddenly ill and could not leave my room for about two months, then I went away for three months, thinking that I should come back 15 and be able to continue my work. I improved very much, but the fear of quick consumption was with my doctor and my family and friends, and I was warned about the 18 coming winter. Only too soon the fear manifested itself. I had worked just three weeks when all the pains and aches returned, and I had to go to bed as soon as I 21 got home, so there was no pleasure in living. My em- ployer advised me to see my physician, and said perhaps I should not work that winter. I then and there turned 24 to Christian Science. I could not afford to give up work and live away from home, neither did I want to depend on doctors and medicine any longer. I took the book 27 and read it on my way to work, and at noon I lay down on a couch instead of going out for luncheon and fell asleep. When I awoke I was a different person, all 30 pains and aches had gone, and I was free. I was so 1 happy I could hardly contain myself; to material sense it was wonderful. As I walked I kept saying, 3 "Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful," and tried to un- derstand "the scientific statement of being" by repeat- ing portions at a time, then pondering over them. I 6 read the book four times in succession, and every time I found more and more to aid in the under- standing. 9 This healing was in October, 1901, with no other help than Science and Health, and soon I was relieved of other chronic ailments. In February I was able to 12 put away eyeglasses, which I had worn ten years and a half for astigmatism. Oculists told me I would always have to wear them. A month later my father asked 15 me to help him, as he was suffering so much from con- stipation, dyspepsia, and neuralgia. He had been sub- sisting on bran, nearly starving himself until he was most 18 miserable, and his limbs seemed so cold that they were kept wrapped in blankets. I felt very humble as he asked me, and told him I would have a practitioner help 21 him, as I had never treated any one; but he would not consent to have any one but myself, and I finally told him I would try, but that he must not hold Science respon- 24 sible if he were not benefited, for my lack of understand- ing, and not Science, would be at fault. At my request he read Science and Health, ate whatever he wanted, 27 and used no medicine in any form. After two treat- ments I received word from him that he was healed of that bondage of thirty years' standing. In view of 30 all these signs which followed my acceptance of Chris- tian Science, I knew it must be true. — R. L. A., Chicago, Ill. |

1473 | 690 | S&H 18 | 0 | pain healed | Show all | 1 THROUGH GREAT TRIBULATIONS When I attempt to make plain what Christian Science 3 has done for me, words fail me. For twenty years I was a constant sufferer, my spine having been injured when I was very young. As a little child I 6 suffered so much that I would look up to the stars and beg God, who I thought might be up there somewhere, to take me away from the earth, — I was 9 so tired. A great wall of pain seemed to separate me from the pleasures enjoyed by others, and I could not explain how I felt, because no one could understand. 12 Years passed, and I saw my earthly happiness swept away; my heart was broken and I did not know what to do. I cried for help, day after day and night after 15 night, although I was not sure what God was, nor where He was. I only knew that I suffered, and was in need of help, and that there was no earthly help 18 for either mind or body. I loved purity, truth, and right always, and this made evil seem a most terrible reality. I was unable to cope with it, and so found 21 myself in despair. This was my condition when I com- menced reading Science and Health. I was ready for its message, and in about ten days there came a won- 24 derful insight into the truth which heals the sick and binds up the broken-hearted. All pain left me, I had a glimpse of the new heavens and the new earth, and 27 was beginning to be fed by Love divine. I had suffered for years with insomnia. That night I rested like a child, and awoke the next morning well 30 and happy. A flood of light daily illumined the pages of the "little book," and the revelation it holds for all 1 came to my waiting heart. "The peace which passeth all understanding" rested upon me, and joy too deep for 3 words transformed my life. My prayers were answered, for I had found God in Christian Science. The Bible, which I knew very little about, became 6 my constant study, my joy, and my guide. The copy which I bought at the time of my healing is marked from Genesis to Revelation. It was so constantly 9 in my hands for three years that the cover became worn and the leaves loose, so it has been laid away for a new one. Two and three o'clock in the morning 12 often found me poring over its pages, which grew more and more sacred to me every day, and the help I received therefrom was wonderful, for which I can 15 find no words to express my gratitude. — I. L., Los Angeles, Cal. |

1474 | 655 | S&H 18 | 0 | painful eyes healed | Show all | 27 AN EVER-PRESENT HELP It is a year since I began to read Science and Health, and I will now try to outline what a knowledge of its 30 teachings has done for me. 1 My condition was then very trying; my eyes, which had caused me much trouble since childhood, were 3 very painful. For these I had been treated by some of the best specialists in my native land, and after coming to the United States I had been doctored 6 much and had worn glasses for four years. I also had catarrh, for which I had taken much medicine without being relieved. In addition to this I was an excessive 9 smoker, using tobacco in some form almost constantly. I had contracted a smoker's heart, and used liquors freely. 12 The one who brought to me that which I now prize so highly, was a book agent. I told him that I should be forced to leave my trade on account of my eyes. 15 He then told me of having been healed of a cancer, through Christian Science treatment. He showed me a copy of Science and Health, which had the signs of 18 much use, and after being assured that if I did my part I would be healed of all my diseases, I sent for a copy of the book. 21 My recovery was very rapid, for after reading the book only three weeks I was completely healed of the tobacco habit. I will say, in regard to this healing, 24 that it did not require even as much as a resolution on my part. I was smoking a cigar, while reading Science and Health, when all the desire to continue 27 smoking left me, and I have never had a desire to use tobacco in any form since then. My eyes were the next to manifest the influence of the new knowledge 30 gained, and had soon so far recovered that I could go about my work with ease, and I have had no more use for glasses. To-day my heart is normal, the catarrh 1 has totally disappeared, and I am not addicted to the use of liquor. 3 Christian Science has proved to be an ever-present help, not only in overcoming physical ailments, but in business and daily life. It has also overcome a great 6 sense of fear. The Bible, which I regarded with suspicion, has become my guide, and Christianity has become a sweet reality, because the Christian Science 9 textbook has indeed been a "Key to the Scriptures" and has breathed through the Gospel pages a sweet sense of harmony. — A. F., Sioux City, Iowa. |

I was greatly emaciated and hardly able to be about. 9 My general condition was aggravated by what the doc- tors said was paralysis of the bowels. Three physi- cians so diagnosed it at different times, and assured 12 my husband that I could never get more than tem- porary relief. This indeed I found difficult to obtain, in spite of my almost frantic efforts. At times I was 15 nearly insane from suffering, and after eight years of doctoring I found myself steadily growing worse. For four years I did not have a normal action of the bowels, 18 and it was only by extreme effort and by resort to pow- erful drugs or mechanical means, with resultant suffering, that any action whatever could be brought about. 21 I had heard nothing of the curative power of Chris- tian Science, and only to oblige a friend I went one night, about three years ago, to one of their mid-week 24 testimonial meetings, in Boulder, Colorado. I was much impressed by what I heard there, and determined at once to investigate this strange religion, in the hope that it 27 might have something good for me. I bought the text- book, Science and Health, and from the first I found myself growing stronger and better, both physically and 30 mentally, as I acquired a better understanding and en- deavored to put into practice what I learned. In one week 1 I was able to get along better without drugs than I had for years with them, and before three months had passed I 3 was better than I had been any time in my life, for I had always suffered more or less from bowel trouble. Since that time I have taken no medicine whatever, and 6 rely wholly upon Christian Science. My lungs are now sound, my bowels normally active, my general health excellent, and I am able to endure without fatigue 9 tasks that before would have prostrated me. The study of our textbook was the sole means of my healing. — L. M. St. C., Matachin, Canal Zone, Panama. |

Various doctors finally admitted that they had exhausted their resources, and 6 could only offer me palliatives, saying that a cure was impossible. I had paralysis of the bowels, frequent sick headaches with unutterable agony, and my mortal 9 career was nearly brought to an end by a malignant type of yellow fever. Many were the attending evils of this physical inharmony, but God confounds the wis- 12 dom of men, for while studying Science and Health two years ago, the veil of ignorance was lifted and perfect health was shown to me to be my real con- 15 dition, and to such there is no relapse. The constant use of glasses, which were apparently a necessity to me for years, was proven needless, and they were laid 18 aside. Mrs. Eddy has made Scripture reading a never- failing well of comfort to me. By her interpretation "the way of the Lord" is made straight to me and 21 mine. It aids us in our daily overcoming of the tyr- anny of the flesh and its rebellion against the blessed leading of Christ, Truth. The daily study of the Bible 24 and our textbook is bringing more and more into our con- sciousness the power of God unto salvation. — J. C., Manatee, Fla. |

1498 | 653 | S&H 18 | 0 | peritonitis healed | Show all | GRATEFUL FOR MANY BLESSINGS 9 In 1894 I began the study of Christian Science. At that time I was greatly in need of its healing truth. For a number of years previous I had been a semi- 12 invalid with no hope of ever being well and strong again. Several years before this time I had undergone an operation which resulted in peritonitis. For three 15 years previous to my study of Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy, I was scarcely ever free from headache caused by the weakened and diseased condition of the 18 internal organs. At the time I began the study of Christian Science I was taking five kinds of medicine. I began to read Science and Health, and did not 21 take treatment, for I thought, "If this is truth, I shall be healed; if it is not, I shall be able to detect it, and will have nothing to do with it." I became a 24 devoted student and gradually my bodily diseases left me, — I was free, and since that time, nearly ten years ago, neither my two children nor myself have 27 taken any medicine; and our understanding of truth has been able to meet and overcome any suggestion of illness. 30 I was a devoted member of an orthodox church, 1 but as I grew older I began to question my beliefs, and to my questions I could find no satisfactory an- 3 swer. I became dissatisfied and finally ceased attend- ing church. I could not accept the idea of God taught there, and at last my friends looked sadly upon me as 6 an atheist. There I stood until I learned to know God as revealed in Science and Health, and then all my questionings were answered. In my girlhood I had 9 always prayed to the God I held in mind, and when the shadows of sickness, pain, and death came to my family, I prayed as only those can who know that if 12 He helps not, there is none; but my prayers were unanswered. Then I closed my Bible, saying, "There is a mistake somewhere, perhaps some time I may 15 know." Only those who know the attitude of mind that I was in can understand the joy that came to me as I 18 began to learn of God in Christian Science, and of my relation to Him. Many proofs of the healing power of Truth and of 21 His protecting care throng my thoughts. Seven years ago, when we were in a far distant country, where Christian Science was then unknown, my little daughter 24 came in one morning from her school, saying, "Mother, I have measles; twenty of the girls are sick in bed and I am afraid they will put me there also." Her face, hands, 27 and chest were covered with a deep red rash, throat sore, and eyes inflamed. We began immediately to do our work in Science and at night, when I left her at the door of the 30 college, her face was clear, her eyes bright, and all fear destroyed. That was the end of the disease. — F. M. P., Boston, Mass. |

Some years ago I was pronounced by a pro- 24 fessor of materia medica, whose works are in general use, a neurasthenic. I had been in this condition more or less for eight years, and up to two years ago, when Christian 27 Science was first brought to my attention (thanks to Al- mighty God) through a kind friend, I was almost con- stantly taking medicine and had in all eleven physicians 30 who undoubtedly did their best, but without avail, not- 1 withstanding almost all known drugs were prescribed, and further I had tried very many patent medicines. I 3 was also put through forms of hygienic treatment and other things that offered inducements. At the time of coming into Science I was taking three times daily forty 6 minims of cod-liver oil and three of creosote, also three drops of Fowler's solution of arsenic, and on the month or so previous had bought eighteen dollars' worth of 9 patent medicine. I was restricted to the simplest means of diet, — all stews, fries, sweets, berries, and tomatoes I had not touched for two years. 12 I started to read Science and Health, and before I had half finished the book once I was eating everything that any one does. I read the book eleven times straight 15 ahead and many times skipping about. The book has done the work and I am a well man. — C. E. M., Philadelphia, Pa. |

I am especially grateful for the spiritual help. I know that things which I did and thought last year I would not do or think this 27 year, and am satisfied.

1508 | 650 | S&H 18 | 0 | physical suffering healed | Show all | A CONVINCING INVESTIGATION While I have testified to those around me and in many 30 localities, of my healing in Christian Science, I feel that 1 it is high time I put the candle in the candlestick where all who will may see. My earliest recollection was a day 3 of suffering, — a physical inheritance from my mother, which gave simple interest for a time until years ad- vanced and compound interest was added. My father 6 was a physician, and material remedies were used for my mother without avail, consequently his confidence in them for me was shaken, — in fact he often told me 9 it was better to suffer without medicine than become a chronic doser, without pain. I began teaching in early life and continued for more 12 than twenty years, and during that time not a day passed without pain, or fear of pain, and only for my innate love of life it would have become an intolerable burden. 15 For five years oatmeal was my chief food and I became almost as attached to it as Kaspar Hauser to his crust. I was early taught to have faith in God, and many times 18 was relieved of pain only to have it appear again in an aggravated form. At last my heart cried out for the living God, and 21 the answer came by one of His messengers, who told me of Christian Science. I replied that I believed God could heal, but that I had no faith in the healing of Chris- 24 tian Science, but would like to investigate its theology, as it might aid in giving me some clue to the meaning of life. For three years I had searched the works of 27 the most scientific writers to find the origin of life; many times I would think I had traced it to the beginning, but it would elude my grasp every time. One day in 30 talking with my friend, she said she would like to loan me the textbook, Science and Health, which I very will- ingly accepted. Not long afterward I felt a severe 1 attack of suffering. I opened the book for the first time and found a paragraph near the middle which 3 attracted my attention. I read the same paragraph over and over for nearly two hours. When the tea bell rang I closed the book and I shall never forget my per- 6 ception of the new heaven and the new earth, — every- thing in nature that I could see seemed to have been washed and made clean. The flowers that I have 9 always loved so much, and that from childhood had told me such sweet stories, now spoke to me of the All-in-all, the hearts of my friends seemed kinder, — I 12 had touched the hem of the garment of healing. I ate my supper that evening forgetful of the prepa- rations I had made for suffering, and when the next 15 day began I was more zealous of good work than ever before. Since closing Science and Health at my first reading I have never been able to find the paragraph 18 which I had read so many times over, the words seemed to have slipped away from me, but my joy knew no bounds at having found the pearl of great price. By 21 the continued reading of the book I was entirely healed, and for fourteen years I have not seen a day of physical suffering. — Miss L. M., Rome, N. Y. |

1518 | 193 | Rawson | 0 | Plans | Show all | Man never makes any plans, Love is the only designer; when man thinks, God thinks; God thinks by means of man; God is Mind, and man is God’s consciousness, by means of which God thinks, and reflects, and acts. All ideas are God’s ideas, and these ideas unfold to man with perfect sequence ; man is instantly conscious of any idea he needs ; the working of man’s Mind is perfect, for man’s Mind is God. Man cannot plan wrongly, for man thinks as God thinks, and God is the unchanging Principle of absolute good. Man is not respon sible for making plans, God thinks and plans, not man, for nothing takes place but the action of God. Man acknowledges Him and He directs his paths; “ The ways of man are before the eyes of the Lord* and be ponderetb all bis goings ” (Prov. 5 : 21). “ In all tby ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths ” (Prov. 3 : 6). |

God is the Principle of all law and all order, and “growth is the eternal mandate of Mind” (S. & H. p. 520). There is no cold, all God’s ideas are surrounded by the warmth of divine Love. There is no death, all is Life eternal, for God is the Life of every idea ; all God’s ideas reflect Life and substance and have Life eternal, ever ministering to and benefiting man. |

1527 | 609 | S&H 18 | 0 | poor eyesight healed | Show all | THE TRUE PHYSICIAN FOUND 15 It is with a deep sense of gratitude that I send the particulars of my healing through Christian Science. While visiting friends in the southwestern part of On- 18 tario, about three years ago, my attention was called to Christian Science and the wonderful healing it was doing. I had lived in New York for twenty-five years, 21 but had never heard of Christian Science before, to my recollection. Up to that time, for seventeen years, I had suffered 24 with indigestion and gastritis in the worst form, often being overcome from a seeming pressure against the heart. I had asthma for four years, also had worn glasses for 27 four years. It seemed to me that I had swallowed every known medicine to relieve my indigestion, but they only gave me temporary benefit. I purchased a copy of Sci- 30 ence and Health, and simply from the reading of that 1 grand book I was completely healed of all my physical ailments in two weeks' time. I have used no medi- 3 cine from that day to this, and with God's help, and the wonderful light revealed to me through the reading of Mrs. Eddy's book, I never expect to again. I used 6 to smoke eight or ten cigars a day, and also took an occasional drink, but the desire for these has gone, — I feel forever. I travel on the road, and am constantly 9 being invited to indulge, but it is no effort to abstain, and in many instances I find that my refusal helps others. 12 While I fully appreciate the release from my physical troubles, this pales into insignificance in comparison with the spiritual uplifting Christian Science has brought me. 15 I had not been inside a church for more than ten years, to attend regular services, until I entered a Christian Science church. What I saw and realized there, seemed 18 so genuine that I loved Christian Science from the very start. I have never taken a treatment, — every inch of the way has been through study and practical demon- 21 stration, and I know that all can do the same thing if they will try. Since I have been in Science I have overcome a case of 24 ulcerated tooth in one night through the reading of Science and Health; also a severe attack of grip in thirty-six hours by obeying the Scripture saying, "Physician, heal thy- 27 self." — B.

These ideas unfold with perfect sequence and are passed on with perfect sequence, for God is the Principle of all law and order; man re-presents these ideas, giving his fellow-man joy and happiness. Only God’s ideas, ideas of Truth, can come to man, and therefore man can pass on only ideas of Truth to his fellow-man. There are no mistakes, man reflects divine wisdom, intelligence and knowledge; man is absolutely accurate. The ideas of God unfold to man with perfect sequence, and man re-presents these ideas with perfect sequence, idea after idea. These arc God’s ideas, pure, spiritual, divine and holy.

1539 | 634 | S&H 18 | 0 | prejudice healed | Show all | TRUTH MAKES FREE 15 As the son of a physician, a graduate in pharmacy, and an ex-druggist, I had a perfect contempt for what I thought Christian Science to be. About six and a half 18 years ago, however, having exhausted all material means at my command, — materia medica, electricity, gym- nastics, cycling, and so on, — and being in a hopeless 21 state, the study of Christian Science was taken up. I had been a sufferer from catarrh and sore throat for over thirty years, and in the last five were added several others, 24 including dyspepsia, and bronchitis, and a loss in flesh of sixty pounds. I was completely healed, and regained health, strength, and flesh through the spiritual under- 27 standing of Christian Science, the result of about six weeks' study. This good and perfect gift came to me through the careful and prayerful study of Christian 30 Science, as revealed to the world to-day through Science 1 and Health. The promise of Christ Jesus, "the truth shall make you free," was fulfilled, and the past six years 3 of health and harmony have been spent in striving to "hold fast that which is good." While most grateful for the physical healing, my grati- 6 tude for the mental and spiritual regeneration is beyond expression. When I learned that Jesus' mission of heal- ing sickness as well as sin did not end with his short stay 9 upon earth, but is practical in all ages, my joy was un- bounded. Having spent thousands in the old way, it seemed wonderful to be healed at such small cost as the 12 price of the "little book" and a few weeks' study. Every thought of prejudice immediately vanished before the proofs that Christian Science is indeed the elucidation 15 and practical application of Jesus' teachings, which are demonstrable truth, "The same yesterday, and to-day, and forever." — C.

1554 | 670 | S&H 18 | 0 | profanity healed | Show all | MORALLY AND PHYSICALLY HEALED 21 I did not accept Christian Science on account of any healing of my own, but after seeing my mother, who was fast drifting toward helplessness with rheumatism, restored 24 to perfect health with only a few treatments in Christian Science, I thought surely this must be the truth as Jesus taught and practised it, and if so it was what I had been 27 longing for. This was about ten years ago and was the first I had ever heard of Christian Science. We soon got a copy 30 of Science and Health and I began in the right way to 1 see if Christian Science were the truth. I had no thought of studying it for bodily healing; in fact, I did not think 3 I needed it for that, but my soul cried out for something I had not yet found. This book was indeed a key to the Scriptures. 6 It was not long after I began reading before I dis- covered that my eyes were good and strong, I could read as much as I wished, and at any time, which was 9 something I could not do before, as my eyes had always been weak. The doctors said they never would be very strong, and that if I did not wear glasses, I might lose 12 my sight altogether. I never gave up to wearing glasses, and now, thanks to Christian Science, I do not need them, my work for the past two years as a railway mail clerk 15 being a good test. At the same time my eyes were healed, I also noticed that I was entirely healed of another ail- ment which had been with me all my life, and which was 18 believed to be inherited. Since that time my growth has seemed to me slow, yet when I look back and view myself as I was before Christian Science found me, and 21 compare it with my life as it now is, I can only close my eyes to the picture and rejoice that I have been "born again" and that I have daily been putting off "the 24 old man with his deeds," and putting on "the new man." Some of the many things that have been overcome 27 through the study of Science and Health, and through realizing and practising the truth it teaches, are pro- fanity, the use of tobacco, a very quick temper, which 30 made both myself and those around me at times very miserable, and such thoughts as malice, revenge, etc. — O.

1555 | 678 | S&H 18 | 0 | profanity healed | Show all | When Christian Science first came to me, or rather, when I first came to Christian Science, I did not have a very bad opinion of myself. I thought I was a pretty good fellow. I had no religious views. I seemed to be getting along as well as, if not better than, some who professed Christianity. So I drifted along until I was led to investigate Christian Science. As I progressed in the understanding as gained from the study of both Science and Health and the Bible, and commenced to know myself, I found that a great change had been wrought in me. For fifteen years I had used tobacco, both chewing and smoking; for ten years I had been a victim of the drink habit, sometimes to excess; I was also addicted to profanity. Christian Science removed these appetites. A stomach trouble and other lesser ills, such as headache, a bad temper, an inordinate love of money, etc., disappeared under the same benign influence. Those things that seemed to be pleasure do not give me pleasure now. They were not real pleasure. I have lost nothing, I have sacrificed nothing; but I have gained everything, and not yet the whole, for I can see plenty yet to be done. The condition of mind before investigating and after is as different as black and white. As Mrs. Eddy says, "Not matter, but Mind, satisfieth. - G. B. P., Henry, S. D. |

I was healed of profanity, the tobacco habit, and a bad temper through 27 the understanding that man is the image and likeness of God. I was also healed of kidney disease and rheuma- tism. What surprised me most, however, was this; I 30 had had one finger thrown out of place some fifteen years 1 before. It was crooked, but it became straight and use- ful. A bone in my foot had also been broken, leaving 3 a bunch, which disappeared after I studied Christian Science and received class instruction. I am an entirely well man and for this I am very grateful. I am also 6 glad that I have learned enough of Truth and Love to be able to heal others. I wish to express my thankful appreciation of our Leader, also of the Sentinel and the 9 Journal. — N.R.F., Salina, Kans. |

The 30 attending physician declared that I could live but a short 1 time, and I felt there would be a limit to my endur- ance of the torture, but the disease was dissipated into 3 nothingness through Christian Science, which brought me peace. Like many others I had been seemingly lost in the 6 sea of error, without a compass, yet earnestly and hon- estly seeking a haven. I had investigated all kinds of religions and philosophies that came under my notice, 9 with the exception of Christian Science, which was not then deemed worthy of inquiry, and yet it held the very truth I was searching for — the light which 12 "shineth in the darkness; and the darkness com- prehended it not." Three years of stubborn resist- ance to Truth, with increasing suffering, followed — 15 then the light came, and with it a new experience. Now, after nine years of Christian Science experience, under severe tests, it can be truthfully said that it 18 has not failed me in any hour of need. — J. F. J., Cincinnati, Ohio. |

1565 | 664 | S&H 18 | 0 | prostration from fatigue healed | Show all | 1 CURING BETTER THAN ENDURING For eight years I was a great sufferer from weak 3 lungs and after being treated by ten different physi- cians, in the States of Illinois, Missouri, and Colo- rado, I was told there was no hope of my recovery 6 from what they pronounced tuberculosis, which was hereditary, my father having been afflicted with it. I was greatly emaciated and hardly able to be about. 9 My general condition was aggravated by what the doc- tors said was paralysis of the bowels. Three physi- cians so diagnosed it at different times, and assured 12 my husband that I could never get more than tem- porary relief. This indeed I found difficult to obtain, in spite of my almost frantic efforts. At times I was 15 nearly insane from suffering, and after eight years of doctoring I found myself steadily growing worse. For four years I did not have a normal action of the bowels, 18 and it was only by extreme effort and by resort to pow- erful drugs or mechanical means, with resultant suffering, that any action whatever could be brought about. 21 I had heard nothing of the curative power of Chris- tian Science, and only to oblige a friend I went one night, about three years ago, to one of their mid-week 24 testimonial meetings, in Boulder, Colorado. I was much impressed by what I heard there, and determined at once to investigate this strange religion, in the hope that it 27 might have something good for me. I bought the text- book, Science and Health, and from the first I found myself growing stronger and better, both physically and 30 mentally, as I acquired a better understanding and en- deavored to put into practice what I learned. In one week 1 I was able to get along better without drugs than I had for years with them, and before three months had passed I 3 was better than I had been any time in my life, for I had always suffered more or less from bowel trouble. Since that time I have taken no medicine whatever, and 6 rely wholly upon Christian Science. My lungs are now sound, my bowels normally active, my general health excellent, and I am able to endure without fatigue 9 tasks that before would have prostrated me. The study of our textbook was the sole means of my healing. — L. M. St. C., Matachin, Canal Zone, Panama. |

None of God’s ideas lose control, the only control is that of divine Principle. There is no high temperature, all is normal. There arc no material germs, God’s ideas are spiritual. The lesser ideas can never harm the higher ideas of God, they minister to man and benefit him ; God’s ideas arc always doing the right thing at the right time. Not one of God’s ideas is out of Mind, for Mind is God and all God’s ideas arc in Mind, reflecting divine wisdom and divine intelligence.

Man is ever conscious of the warmth and beauty of Love. “ The Lord God is a sun ” (Ps. 84 : 11), giving “ grace and glory" “ in thy presence is fulness of joy ” (Ps. 16: n).

1582 | 653 | S&H 18 | 0 | rash healed | Show all | GRATEFUL FOR MANY BLESSINGS 9 In 1894 I began the study of Christian Science. At that time I was greatly in need of its healing truth. For a number of years previous I had been a semi- 12 invalid with no hope of ever being well and strong again. Several years before this time I had undergone an operation which resulted in peritonitis. For three 15 years previous to my study of Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy, I was scarcely ever free from headache caused by the weakened and diseased condition of the 18 internal organs. At the time I began the study of Christian Science I was taking five kinds of medicine. I began to read Science and Health, and did not 21 take treatment, for I thought, "If this is truth, I shall be healed; if it is not, I shall be able to detect it, and will have nothing to do with it." I became a 24 devoted student and gradually my bodily diseases left me, — I was free, and since that time, nearly ten years ago, neither my two children nor myself have 27 taken any medicine; and our understanding of truth has been able to meet and overcome any suggestion of illness. 30 I was a devoted member of an orthodox church, 1 but as I grew older I began to question my beliefs, and to my questions I could find no satisfactory an- 3 swer. I became dissatisfied and finally ceased attend- ing church. I could not accept the idea of God taught there, and at last my friends looked sadly upon me as 6 an atheist. There I stood until I learned to know God as revealed in Science and Health, and then all my questionings were answered. In my girlhood I had 9 always prayed to the God I held in mind, and when the shadows of sickness, pain, and death came to my family, I prayed as only those can who know that if 12 He helps not, there is none; but my prayers were unanswered. Then I closed my Bible, saying, "There is a mistake somewhere, perhaps some time I may 15 know." Only those who know the attitude of mind that I was in can understand the joy that came to me as I 18 began to learn of God in Christian Science, and of my relation to Him. Many proofs of the healing power of Truth and of 21 His protecting care throng my thoughts. Seven years ago, when we were in a far distant country, where Christian Science was then unknown, my little daughter 24 came in one morning from her school, saying, "Mother, I have measles; twenty of the girls are sick in bed and I am afraid they will put me there also." Her face, hands, 27 and chest were covered with a deep red rash, throat sore, and eyes inflamed. We began immediately to do our work in Science and at night, when I left her at the door of the 30 college, her face was clear, her eyes bright, and all fear destroyed. That was the end of the disease. — F. M. P., Boston, Mass. |

1597 | 676 | S&H 18 | 0 | regeneration gained | Show all | A NEW LIFE GAINED 12 Leaving home when a young man, I carried with me a protection against the temptation of a great city, — a mother's prayers and a small Bible. For a time I read 15 the Bible and prayed, but without understanding. This did not suffice, and evil seemed to gain the victory. I soon omitted to read my Bible; forgot to go to God in 18 prayer for guidance and help, and looked to the world for that which it never has and never can give, — health, peace, and joy. 21 Thus, years later, when Christian Science came into my home, it found me prayerless, churchless, godless; a home discordant, and with no thought or knowledge 24 of spiritual things. Up to this time, my wife had for years been seeking health through the physicians, but without success, and as a last resort had been 27 sent to Christian Science. The help received was so wonderful that I commenced the study of Science and Health. The first effect which I realized from the 30 reading of our textbook, was a great love for the Bible and a desire to read it, something which I had not done 1 for years. I went in silent prayer to God, that I might see the light and truth which would enable me to be- 3 come a better man. "Ye must be born again." Thus again, and as a child, was I taught to pray "the effectual fervent prayer" which "availeth much." In a few 6 weeks' study of Science and Health together with the Bible, and without other help, I was healed of a desire for liquor, of years' standing, and of the use of tobacco. 9 Ten years have passed and these appetites have never returned. I have never used either liquor or tobacco in any form from that time to the present. Surely this 12 Scripture is fulfilled in our home: "Old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new." How can we estimate the value of a book, the study of which brings 15 such transformation and regeneration? Only as we endeavor to live, and strive to practise what it teaches, can we begin to pay our debt to God, and to her whom 18 He has sent to make plain to human understanding the life and teaching of Christ Jesus. — W. H. P., Boston, Mass. |

1598 | 667 | S&H 18 | 0 | regeneration of being | Show all | BORN AGAIN It was in April, 1904, that I first heard the "still, 21 small voice" of the Christ and received healing through Christian Science; and the blessings have been so many since, that it would take too much space to 24 name them. Reared from childhood in an intellectual atmosphere, my paternal grandfather having been an orthodox minister of the old school for forty years, 27 and my father a deep student, ever seeking for the truth of all things, I began early to ponder and to study into the meaning of life, and came to the con- 30 clusion before I was twenty that though God probably 1 existed in some remote place, still it was impossible to connect Him with my present living. My highest 3 creed, therefore, became, "Do right because it is right and not for fear of being punished." Then began the suffering. Sorrow after sorrow followed each other 6 in rapid succession; for ten long years there was no rest, the road was indeed long and hard and had no turning, until finally the one thing that had stood by 9 me all through the trials, namely, my health, gave way, and with that went my last hope. But the last hour of the night had come, the dawn of day was at 12 hand; a dear friend left Science and Health upon my piano one day, saying that I would gain much good by reading it. 15 Glad to get away from my own poor thoughts, I opened the "little book" and began to read. I had read only a short time when such a wonderful trans- 18 formation took place! I was renewed; born again. Mere words cannot tell the story of the mighty up- lifting that carried me to the very gates of heaven. 21 When I began to read the book, life was a burden, but before I had finished reading it the first time, I was doing all my housework and doing it easily; and since that 24 glorious day I have been a well woman. My health is splendid, and I am striving to let my light so shine that others may be led to the truth. There have been 27 some mighty struggles with error, and I have learned that we cannot reach heaven with one long stride or easily drift inside the gate, but that the "asking" and 30 the "seeking" and the "knocking" must be earnest and persistent. For a long time I was always looking back to see if 1 the error had gone, until one day when I realized that to catch a glimpse of what spiritual sense means 3 I must put corporeal sense behind me. I then set to work in earnest to find the true way. I opened Science and Health and these words were before me, 6 "If God were understood, instead of being merely be- lieved, this understanding would establish health" (p. 203). I saw that I must get the right understanding of God! 9 I closed the book and with head bowed in prayer I waited with longing intensity for some answer. How long I waited I do not know, but suddenly, like a won- 12 derful burst of sunlight after a storm, came clearly this thought, "Be still, and know that I am God." I held my breath — deep into my hungering thought 15 sank the infinite meaning of that "I." All self- conceit, egotism, selfishness, everything that constitutes the mortal "I," sank abashed out of sight. I trod, as 18 it were, on holy ground. Words are inadequate to con- vey the fulness of that spiritual uplifting, but others who have had similar experiences will understand. 21 From that hour I have had an intelligent consciousness of the ever-presence of an infinite God who is only good. — C. B. G., Hudson, Mass. |

There is only one Mind, God, one consciousness, man, as infinite as God, therefore there are no empty spaces, everywhere where man is, God is. There is no lack of knowledge, God is the Principle of all knowledge and man knows everything he needs. “ For God givetb to a man that is good in bis sight wisdom, and knowledge, and joy ” (Eccl. 2 : 26). There is a perfect law of supply and demand; if man needs an idea he knows where to get it; if man wants to pass on an idea he knows where to pass it, for God is the Principle of all law and order. Love is the power that causes the ideas to circulate in Mind, and Love is omnipotent, for Love is God. “ In Science, all being is eternal, spiritual, perfect, harmonious in every action ” (S. & H. p. 407.) |

There are no defective materials, only God’s ideas exist, and these are spiritual and perfect, doing their work perfectly, ministering to man and benefiting him. There is no difficulty in obtaining labour, there are infinite beings available, always helping and benefiting their fellow man. Man knows where to get everything he needs. |

1613 | 247 | Rawson | 0 | Retroactive Treatment or Treating Backwards | Show all | “ Treating backwards ” is the term applied to treatment when the person treated desires the apparent effect of the treatment to take place at a given time in the past.In treating backwards you can commence by realising that nothing is impossible to God ; then realise that there is no such thing as time. Then give an ordinary treatment such as you usually give, and the treatment will take place at the time at which you think it will take place. Past, present and future, all arc one, everything in the material world takes place at the same time. “ That which hath been is now ; and that which is to he hath already been “ (Eccl. 3:15). “ Before they calf I will answer ” (Is. 65 : 24). |

Man can have no thought of evil towards his fellow-man, for only God’s thoughts can come to him, thoughts of Love, happiness, peace and harmony, because God is Love and man reflects that Love and is absolutely loving towards all. Man can never be hypnotised into doing what is wrong, for he is led and governed by God, and God is the only power and the only ruler. |

1615 | 670 | S&H 18 | 0 | revenge healed | Show all | MORALLY AND PHYSICALLY HEALED 21 I did not accept Christian Science on account of any healing of my own, but after seeing my mother, who was fast drifting toward helplessness with rheumatism, restored 24 to perfect health with only a few treatments in Christian Science, I thought surely this must be the truth as Jesus taught and practised it, and if so it was what I had been 27 longing for. This was about ten years ago and was the first I had ever heard of Christian Science. We soon got a copy 30 of Science and Health and I began in the right way to 1 see if Christian Science were the truth. I had no thought of studying it for bodily healing; in fact, I did not think 3 I needed it for that, but my soul cried out for something I had not yet found. This book was indeed a key to the Scriptures. 6 It was not long after I began reading before I dis- covered that my eyes were good and strong, I could read as much as I wished, and at any time, which was 9 something I could not do before, as my eyes had always been weak. The doctors said they never would be very strong, and that if I did not wear glasses, I might lose 12 my sight altogether. I never gave up to wearing glasses, and now, thanks to Christian Science, I do not need them, my work for the past two years as a railway mail clerk 15 being a good test. At the same time my eyes were healed, I also noticed that I was entirely healed of another ail- ment which had been with me all my life, and which was 18 believed to be inherited. Since that time my growth has seemed to me slow, yet when I look back and view myself as I was before Christian Science found me, and 21 compare it with my life as it now is, I can only close my eyes to the picture and rejoice that I have been "born again" and that I have daily been putting off "the 24 old man with his deeds," and putting on "the new man." Some of the many things that have been overcome 27 through the study of Science and Health, and through realizing and practising the truth it teaches, are pro- fanity, the use of tobacco, a very quick temper, which 30 made both myself and those around me at times very miserable, and such thoughts as malice, revenge, etc. — O.

I was very ill and unhappy; very cynical and disbeliev- 30 ing in regard to what I heard of God and religion. 1 I tried to live my life in my own way and put religion aside. I was a great believer in fate and in will-power, 3 and thought to put them in the place of God, with the consequence that I was led to do many rash and foolish things. I am now thankful to say that my out- 6 look on life is entirely changed; I have proved God's wisdom and goodness so often that I am willing and thankful to know my future is in His hands and that 9 all things must work out for the best. I have found a God whom I can love and worship with my whole heart, and I now read my Bible with interest and 12 understanding. I was healed of very bad rheumatism simply by read- ing Science and Health. I had tried many medicines, 15 also massage, with no result, and the doctors told me that I would always suffer from this disease, as it was inherited, and also because I had rheumatic fever 18 when a child. I suffered day and night, and nothing relieved me until Science proved to me the falseness of this belief by removing it. I gave up all the medi- 21 cines I was taking and have never touched any since, and that is more than two years ago. Before this I had often tried to do without a medicine that I had 24 taken every day for ten years, but was always ill and had to return to it, until I found out that one Mind is the only medicine, and then I was freed from the suffering. 27 I had also suffered constantly from bilious attacks, colds, and a weak chest, and had been warned not to be out in wet weather, etc., but now, I am glad to say, 30 I am quite free from all those material laws and go out in all sorts of weather. — R.

1618 | 658 | S&H 18 | 0 | rheumatic fever healed | Show all | A TESTIMONY FROM IRELAND It is with a heart full of love and gratitude to God, 18 and to our dear Leader, that I send this testimony to the Field. I had never been a strong girl; had always been subject to colds and chills, and suffered all my 21 life from a delicate throat. Seven years ago I had a very severe attack of rheumatic fever and subsequently two less severe ones. These left all sorts of evils be- 24 hind them, — debility, chronic constipation, and several others, so that with these ills my life was often a burden to me and I used to think I never should re- 27 ceive relief or health. I had also lost all love for God and faith in Him. I could not accept a God who, as I then believed, visited sickness and sorrow upon 30 His children as a means for drawing them to Him. 1 I was in this state of mind and body when Christian Science found me. A dear friend, seeing my suffering, 3 presented the truth to me, and though at first I did not believe that there could be healing for me, the Chris- tian Scientists' God seemed to be the one I had been 6 looking for all my life. I began to read Science and Health, and shall never forget my joy at finding that I could love and trust God. I took to studying the 9 Bible, and read nothing but Science and Health and other Christian Science literature for a year. After studying the "little book" for about six weeks, I one 12 day realized that I was a well woman, that I had taken no medicine for three weeks, and that my body was perfectly harmonious. The reading of Science and 15 Health had healed me. The wonderful joy and spirit- ual uplifting which came to me then no words of mine can describe. I had also suffered from astigmatism 18 and had for several years been obliged to use special glasses when reading or working, and could never use my eyes for more than half an hour; but from the first 21 reading of Science and Health I found that I could read in any light and for any length of time without the slight- est discomfort. I am not only grateful for the physi- 24 cal healing but for the mental regeneration. I rejoice that I am now able to help others who are sick and sor- rowing. — E. E.

1622 | 614 | S&H 18 | 0 | rheumatism healed | Show all | INTENSE SUFFERING OVERCOME 21 For about five years I was afflicted with sciatic rheu- matism, in such a severe form that my body was drawn out of shape. When able to be around, I walked with 24 the assistance of a cane. The attacks were periodical, recurring every few months; any exposure to rain or dampness would bring one. At one time I was in bed 27 eleven weeks, suffering intensely all the time except when relieved by hypodermic injections. When I had these attacks, my regular physician was always in attendance. 30 My daughter consulted another physician, who said there 1 would have to be an operation which would include the exposing and scraping of the sciatic nerve. There 3 was also another physician who, knowing of the case, examined my heart and claimed that it was weak and that I was liable to pass on at any time from heart 6 trouble. After suffering three years I heard of Christian Science, but did not avail myself of it for two years, when I de- 9 cided to give up all other means and rely wholly upon it. It was not convenient to call a practitioner, so I took Science and Health and applied its teachings as best 12 I could. In three days the trouble completely left me and there has never been the slightest return. My health has been good ever since, and I am at present 15 in perfect physical health. I have been benefited in every way by Christian Science, physically, mentally, and spiritually, and would not be without my understand- 18 ing of it for anything. — Mrs. E. A. K., Billings, Mont. |

During 18 this time I had three good doctors treating me. I gained a little in strength, but had very little relief from the stomach trouble. I was recommended to try mineral 21 springs and did so, but with the same disappointment. I went to a sanitarium, but yet the stomach trouble pre- vailed. I had some friends who recommended patent 24 medicines, but no healing came. I worried along in this way for several years. Finally I read medicine nearly two years with a good doctor 27 friend, especially for my own benefit, and during this time I had a severe attack of bladder trouble, and for fifteen years I suffered so severely at times that I thought 30 life was not really worth living. In connection with these 1 troubles I suffered every winter with rheumatism and the grip. I also had a growth coming on both eyes called 3 cataract, which caused my eyes to be inflamed nearly all the time, and this growth had made such progress that it was causing my vision to be very dim when read- 6 ing. Corns were not forgotten, as I was reminded of them very frequently, and for all these troubles I had tried every remedy I heard of that I was able to get, specialists 9 included, without relief. Thanks to a friend who took me in this hopeless, dis- couraged condition and led me to the light that never 12 knows darkness, I got a copy of Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy and was healed in a short time by reading this work. — D.

1627 | 612 | S&H 18 | 0 | rickets healed | Show all | 3 A REMARKABLE CASE Nine years ago my only child was hovering between life and death. Some of the best physicians in Boston 6 had pronounced his case incurable, saying that if he lived he would always be an invalid and a cripple. One of the diseases was gastric catarrh. He was allowed 9 to eat but very few things, and even after taking every precaution, he suffered to the extent that he would lie in spasms for half a day. He also had rickets; physi- 12 cians saying that there was not a natural bone in his body. It was while he was in what seemed to be his greatest 15 agony, and when I was in the darkest despair, that I first heard of Christian Science. The bearer of the joyful tidings could only tell me to come and hear of the wonder- 18 ful things that Christian Science was doing. I accepted the invitation, for I was willing to try anything to save my child, and the following Friday evening I attended 21 my first meeting, which was in The Mother Church of Christ, Scientist. Long before the service began every seat was filled, which was amazing to me, being an ordi- 24 nary weekly meeting, and that night I realized from the testimonies given that Christian Science was the religion for which I had been searching for years. The next 27 day I went to find a practitioner, but was unable to get the one who had been recommended, he being too busy. On my way home I thought of some of the testimonies 30 which I had heard the night before, — of people being 1 healed by simply reading Science and Health. I resolved at once to borrow a copy, and not dreaming of the 3 sacrifice that my friend would make by conferring such a favor, I went and asked her for a loan of Science and Health. I never saw any one part so reluctantly 6 with a book as my friend did with her copy of the textbook. I read it silently and audibly, day and night, in my 9 home, and although I could not seem to understand it, yet the healing commenced to take place at once. The little mouth which had been twisted by spasms 12 grew natural and the child was soon able to be up, playing and romping about the house as any child should. About this time we decided to move to the 15 far West. I was young in Science at the time, and my husband greatly feared that the journey would cause a relapse 18 for the child, but instead, he continued to improve. I constantly read the Bible, Science and Health, and Mis- cellaneous Writings, the two weeks we traveled, and we 21 were the only ones in our car who, throughout the journey, did not get train sick. The child's limbs grew perfectly straight, he ate anything he wanted, and for years he has 24 been a natural, healthy child in every way. He has passed through some of the worst forms of contagion untouched and unharmed. 27 I had been reading Science and Health several months, before I gave any thought to myself and my numerous complaints. I had never been very strong, and some of 30 my ailments were supposed to be hereditary and chronic, hence I dragged through many tedious years with a belief in medical laws and hereditary laws resting upon me. 1 Just before I commenced reading Science and Health I spent a half day in having my eyes examined by one 3 of the leading oculists in Boston. His verdict was that my eyes were in a dreadful condition, and that I would always need to wear glasses. In the meantime I com- 6 menced to read Science and Health, and when I thought of my eyes, I had no need for glasses. The years that I have been in Science I have used my eyes incessantly, 9 night as well as day, doing all kinds of trying work and without requiring the aid of glasses. I was healed of all my complaints whilst seeking the truth for my child, 12 and many of them have never returned. Those that appeared simply came to the surface to be destroyed. Teeth have been restored and facial blemishes re- 15 moved, unconsciously, simply by reading Science and Health. All of this is, however, nothing to compare with the spiritual uplifting which I have received, and 18 I have everything to be thankful for. — M. T. W., Los Angeles, Cal. |

There is no weakness in the abdominal wall, man is complete and perfect. Man’s muscles were never separated, man’s muscles arc God’s thought forces, having absolute power and absolute strength. Man’s bowels are never out of place, man’s bowels are the knowledge of God as Soul, giving man all wisdom and knowledge, always in place, working perfectly and divinely. If the weakening of the muscles is due to an operation, realise that man was never operated on, he is spiritual, perfect and complete. No healing could ever be delayed, because every idea of God reflects entity and substance and is full, complete, and perfect, and always was perfect. There are no after-effects, as God governs all. |

It is a little over a year since 6 Science found me in a deplorable condition, physically as well as mentally. I had ailments of many years' standing, — chronic stomach trouble, severe eye trouble, 9 made almost unbearable from the constant fear of losing my sight (a fate which had befallen my mother), also a painful rupture of twenty-five years' 12 standing. These ailments, combined with unhappy conditions in my home, made me very despondent. I had entirely lost my belief in an all-merciful God, and 15 I did not know where to turn for help. At that time Christian Science was brought to my notice, and I shall never forget the sublime moment when I perceived that 18 an all-loving Father is always with me. Forgotten was all sorrow and worry, and after four weeks' reading in Science and Health all my ailments had disappeared. 21 I am to-day a healthy, contented woman. All this has come to pass in one short year, and my earnest desire is to be more and more worthy to be 24 called a child of God. This is in loving gratitude for an understanding of this glorious truth. — Mrs. R. J., Chicago, Ill. |

I was a very unhappy, discontented woman; I 21 had kidney disease, besides sore eyes, and my general health was very bad. The doctor said that the climate did not suit me, and that I certainly should have a change. 24 The best thing, he said, was to go back to France (my own country); but I did not like to leave the school, so I struggled on until July, when we went travelling for a 27 month, but I came home worse than ever. I had a lot of worry, one disappointment after another, and I often thought that life was not worth living. In September, 30 1904, we heard for the first time of Christian Science 1 through a girl who was attending our boarding-school, and who was healed through Christian Science treatment. 3 We bought the textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mrs. Eddy, and what a revelation it was and is to us; it is indeed the fountain of Truth. I 6 had read Science and Health but a very short time when I took off my glasses, began to sleep well, and soon found myself well in mind and body. Besides this, it has brought 9 harmony into our school, where there had been discord, and everything is changed for the better. I cannot de- scribe the happiness that has come to me through Chris- 12 tian Science; I can only exclaim with the psalmist: "Bless the Lord, O my soul;" and may God bless Mrs. Eddy. My one aim now is to live Christian Science, not in words 15 only, but in deeds; loving God more and my neighbor as myself, and following meekly and obediently all our Leader's teachings. Words cannot express my gratitude 18 to Mrs. Eddy for Christian Science. — S. A. K., Van- couver, B. C. |

When able to be around, I walked with 24 the assistance of a cane. The attacks were periodical, recurring every few months; any exposure to rain or dampness would bring one. At one time I was in bed 27 eleven weeks, suffering intensely all the time except when relieved by hypodermic injections. When I had these attacks, my regular physician was always in attendance. 30 My daughter consulted another physician, who said there 1 would have to be an operation which would include the exposing and scraping of the sciatic nerve. There 3 was also another physician who, knowing of the case, examined my heart and claimed that it was weak and that I was liable to pass on at any time from heart 6 trouble. After suffering three years I heard of Christian Science, but did not avail myself of it for two years, when I de- 9 cided to give up all other means and rely wholly upon it. It was not convenient to call a practitioner, so I took Science and Health and applied its teachings as best 12 I could. In three days the trouble completely left me and there has never been the slightest return. My health has been good ever since, and I am at present 15 in perfect physical health. I have been benefited in every way by Christian Science, physically, mentally, and spiritually, and would not be without my understand- 18 ing of it for anything. — Mrs. E. A. K., Billings, Mont. |

I was suddenly left alone, with many troubles and trials, and I took up the study of the Bible. I 24 was trying to understand it, prior to joining some church, as it seemed to me this would be expected. I had attended all sorts of churches from my childhood 27 up, but never could find any that met my need. As time passed on, my condition became very alarming. Sciatic rheumatism, that had troubled me for some 30 years, became so severe I could scarcely do anything. 1 Then there appeared some complications, so distressing that I was unable to walk far, and had to sit down fre- 3 quently by the way. I thought I had Bright's disease, — such excruciating pains, no tongue could tell my suffer- ings. With all these things upon me, death seemed very 6 near. I had never joined any church, and I thought it now too late, as I would have to wait six months on pro- bation, and I would be dead before that. 9 About this time I made some inquiries of my sister in reference to Christian Science, as she had already turned to that faith, and I soon found that it was just what I had 12 been looking for. I saw at once that it declared the truth and nothing but the truth. I commenced reading Science and Health, also the New Testament. I wanted to find 15 out what Jesus said, as I did not expect then to live long. I did not go to the meetings, nor did I read Science and Health to be cured, — not thinking of that, — but to be 18 saved from an everlasting hell hereafter. My sister urged me to have a practitioner, but I kept on reading, and praying to God in silence, and what happened? Where 21 had the diseases gone? I persisted in reading Science and Health, together with the Bible, with the knowl- edge that God as revealed by Christ Jesus can do 24 everything, that He made everything that was made, that He can and does heal the afflicted. He has healed me, thanks to His most holy name. — G. J. H., Charles- 27 ton, Ill. |

1662 | 696 | S&H 18 | 0 | scrofula healed | Show all | FIBROID TUMOR DESTROYED When quite young I was impressed that the Bible 15 was not properly interpreted by the preachers, for I could not conceive of a God of wrath who was unjust enough to allow His little ones to suffer pain, misery, and 18 death. I had hope, however, that some day the truth would be revealed to an awakening world, but little did I dream that even then there was one of God's noble 21 women who reflected sufficient purity and holiness to entertain the "angel of his presence," and commune with the true God. 24 I was believed to be predisposed to scrofula, so that I was not a strong or attractive child, and my girlhood and womanhood were scarcely ever free from dread of 27 the laws of matter and lack of strength. The climax was reached when a physician informed me, after weeks of treatment, that I had a fibroid tumor, which required 30 an operation. The conditions were most trying and I 1 was heartsick and discouraged when, in January, 1893, I heard of Christian Science through a letter from a dear 3 sister who had been greatly benefited thereby, and I re- solved to go at once to a practitioner, for I believed it to be the long-lost truth that would make me free. It 6 meant a great effort and sacrifice for me to go to Chicago at that time, but divine Love opened the way and I reached there in March. I had been in my sister's home but 9 a few days, reading Science and Health almost con- stantly, when I asked her if I had not better have treatment for the tumor, which had given me so much 12 trouble. She said to me, "You feel well, do you not?" I assured her that I never had felt so well as I had since reaching there. "Well," she said with decision, "your 15 tumor is gone, for God never made it," and her statements were true, for it has never been heard of from that day. Since then I have been healed of chronic sore throat, 18 hay fever, and other troubles, and I know that Christian Science is the truth. — B. W. S., Coldwater, Mich. |

Reared from childhood in an intellectual atmosphere, my paternal grandfather having been an orthodox minister of the old school for forty years, 27 and my father a deep student, ever seeking for the truth of all things, I began early to ponder and to study into the meaning of life, and came to the con- 30 clusion before I was twenty that though God probably 1 existed in some remote place, still it was impossible to connect Him with my present living. My highest 3 creed, therefore, became, "Do right because it is right and not for fear of being punished." Then began the suffering. Sorrow after sorrow followed each other 6 in rapid succession; for ten long years there was no rest, the road was indeed long and hard and had no turning, until finally the one thing that had stood by 9 me all through the trials, namely, my health, gave way, and with that went my last hope. But the last hour of the night had come, the dawn of day was at 12 hand; a dear friend left Science and Health upon my piano one day, saying that I would gain much good by reading it. 15 Glad to get away from my own poor thoughts, I opened the "little book" and began to read. I had read only a short time when such a wonderful trans- 18 formation took place! I was renewed; born again. Mere words cannot tell the story of the mighty up- lifting that carried me to the very gates of heaven. 21 When I began to read the book, life was a burden, but before I had finished reading it the first time, I was doing all my housework and doing it easily; and since that 24 glorious day I have been a well woman. My health is splendid, and I am striving to let my light so shine that others may be led to the truth. There have been 27 some mighty struggles with error, and I have learned that we cannot reach heaven with one long stride or easily drift inside the gate, but that the "asking" and 30 the "seeking" and the "knocking" must be earnest and persistent. For a long time I was always looking back to see if 1 the error had gone, until one day when I realized that to catch a glimpse of what spiritual sense means 3 I must put corporeal sense behind me. I then set to work in earnest to find the true way. I opened Science and Health and these words were before me, 6 "If God were understood, instead of being merely be- lieved, this understanding would establish health" (p. 203). I saw that I must get the right understanding of God! 9 I closed the book and with head bowed in prayer I waited with longing intensity for some answer. How long I waited I do not know, but suddenly, like a won- 12 derful burst of sunlight after a storm, came clearly this thought, "Be still, and know that I am God." I held my breath — deep into my hungering thought 15 sank the infinite meaning of that "I." All self- conceit, egotism, selfishness, everything that constitutes the mortal "I," sank abashed out of sight. I trod, as 18 it were, on holy ground. Words are inadequate to con- vey the fulness of that spiritual uplifting, but others who have had similar experiences will understand. 21 From that hour I have had an intelligent consciousness of the ever-presence of an infinite God who is only good. — C.

I was healed through simply reading this wonderful book, Science and Health. I had been troubled periodically 12 for many years with sore eyes, and had been to many doctors, who called the disease iritis and cataract. They told me that my eyes would always give me trouble, and 15 that I would eventually lose my sight if I remained in an office, and advised me to go under an operation. Later on I had to wear glasses at my work, also out of doors 18 as I could not bear the winds, and my eyes were gradually becoming worse. I could not read for longer than a few minutes at a time, otherwise they would smart severely. 21 I had to rest my eyes each evening to enable me to use them the next day; in fact gas-light was getting unbearable because of the pain, and I made home miserable. A 24 dear brother told me about Christian Science, and said that if I would read Science and Health it would help me. He procured for me the loan of the book. The 27 first night I read it, it so interested me I quite forgot all about my eyes until my wife remarked that it was eleven o'clock. I found that I had been reading this 30 book for nearly four hours, and I remarked immediately after, "I believe my eyes are cured," which was really 1 the case. The next day, on looking at my eyes, my wife noticed that the cataract had disappeared. I put away 3 my outdoor glasses, which I have not required since, and through the understanding gained by studying Christian Science I have been able to do away with my indoor 6 glasses also, and have had no return of pain in my eyes since. This is now a year and a half ago. — G. F. S., Liverpool, England. |

1703 | 219 | Rawson | 0 | Servant Problem | Show all | The fundamental fallacy is the belief that there are servants who perform what are called menial offices, whereas every man is always helping his fellow-man to the best of his capacity, which capacity is infinite, as it is the Christ capacity, available because man is God’s infinite consciousness, by means of which God works. |
||
1704 | 219 | Rawson | 0 | Servants, Want of | Show all | There is no want of servants, for God gives man instantly everything that he needs. Man never gets material help, for man is governed by God and by God alone; God rules and governs all. There arc infinite beings in Mind available to man instantly, always in their right place, always helping their fellow-man, re-presenting God’s ideas and giving him joy and happiness. (Then work so that those who want the place should be able to hear of it and find it, as follows): Man is never out of work, he is always doing perfect work, re-presenting God’s ideas, and grouping them together into glorious combinations which radiate out in infinite Mind. There is no mortal mind to keep man out of his right place, for there is only one Mind, God, and man is in that Mind, for he is God’s consciousness, a perfect being, in a perfect world, governed by a perfect Godj doing perfect work. God is the Principle of all knowledge, therefore man knows every thing he needs. |

1705 | 220 | Rawson | 0 | Sex | Show all | “ ‘There can be no male and female: for ye are all one [man) in Christ ” (Gal. 3 : 28, R. V.). It is important to think rightly about sex. There are the *’ male ” and the “ female ” activities, but they are not separated. God, the one Mind, is ever active in expressing or manifesting and in receiving or recognising; it is the same Mind that declares the truth recognised, and recognises the truth declared. There is only one Mind, and one spiritual body, the embodiment of Mind’s ideas. And man is always joyfully conscious of oneness, conscious of the unity of good. He has no desires, but is blissfully contented and satisfied. There is no sex expression, “ God created man in bis own image, . . . male and female created he them ” (Gen. 1 ; 27). There is no sensuality, man is spiritual and perfect, pure and holy; man has no desires, man has everything he needs; only God’s ideas can come to man, pure, perfect, divine and holy ideas. |

Idea after idea unfolds to man in perfect sequence and the right idea always comes at the right time. Man never objects to delivering small quantities, God’s ideas unfold exactly as they are required and at the right rime. God is Love and man is absolute!}’ loving toward his fellow-man, always helping, always benefiting his fellow-man. Man never objects to mounting stairs, man moves from idea to idea with absolute case and regularity, and loves to benefit his fellow-man. Man is never tired, man reflects Life and has all power and all strength. “God is my strength and power ; and he maketb my way perfect ” (2 Sam. 22 : 33). |

1710 | 220 | Rawson | 0 | Shorthand | Show all | There is no difficulty in hearing, man’s ears are the divine capacity to understand God’s ideas ; man is God’s consciousness, always listening to and hearing God. Man never speaks indistinctly, for, when man speaks, God speaks, God speaks by means of man. There is no slowness in understanding, man, God’s consciousness, instantly grasps each^idea as it is unfolded in Mind, and instantly re-presents that idea. .Man is perfectly at home with all God’s ideas, and receives and expresses them with delight and joy. There is no difficulty in remembering, for man is God’s consciousness, and knows instantly everything he needs, and reproduces what is necessary. There is no carelessnessy&ll man’s work is a labour of Love, he docs everything to the glory ofjGod, with infinite care, for man is governed by God, the Principleyof good. There is no difficulty in transcribing, everything works perfectly, for God rules and governs everything. God’s ideas unfold yith perfect sequence and are re-presented with perfect sequence. Man, God’s consciousness, discerns all ideas with perfect clearness. .There is only one Mindj and all ideas circulate with freedom in that/one Mind. Man’s fingers are never stiff, man’s fingers are the power 6f grasping details, God’s perfect power; man is controlled by God' and by God alone. There is no lack of collaboration between the brain and the fingers, all God’s ideas work under the one will. There is no material brain, man’s brain is the capacity to think, the Christ capacity; man’s fingers are the power of grasping details,*the power of the same» infinite Mind, working perfectly, working divinely. There is only one Mind, God, and “ all things work together for good ” (Rom. 8 : 28). ^Work against the sense of personal self and fear.) |

Ten years ago I was healed of hereditary deafness and 24 catarrh of the head, simply through reading the book, Science and Health. For years previous I had consulted and taken treatment from some of the best specialists 27 for the ear and throat, both in England and America, but grew worse all the time. I was then urged by a lady who had been healed through Christian Science to buy 30 this book and study it. I did so very reluctantly, but 1 had not read fifty pages before I felt I had indeed found the truth which makes free, and can truly say, from that 3 time I have never had a return of the ailment. That for which I am, however, most grateful, is the daily help it is to me in my household of young chil- 6 dren. I am sure if mothers only knew what Christian Science truly means they would give all they possess to know it. We have seen croup, measles, fever, and 9 various other children's complaints, so-called, disappear like dew before the morning sun, through the applica- tion of Christian Science, — the understanding of God 12 as ever-present and omnipotent. It has been proven to me without a doubt that God is a very present help in trouble, and what a blessed help this wonderful truth is 15 in the training of our children, and how quickly the child grasps it. Some time ago my little girl, then three years old, 18 dislocated her shoulder. I was alone in the house at the time. The pain was so intense that she became faint. I treated her the best I knew how, but kept 21 holding the thought that just as soon as some one came I would run for help. She seemed to grow worse and cried very much. I undressed her and tried to twist 24 the arm into place, but it caused such suffering that I began to get afraid. Then like a flash came the thought, What would you do if you were out of the reach of a prac- 27 titioner? Now is your time to prove God's power and presence. With these thoughts came such a sense of calm and trustfulness that I lost all fear. I then asked 30 the child if I should read to her; she said "Yes, mamma, read the truth-book." I began reading aloud to her from Science and Health. In about half an hour I noticed 1 she tried to lift the arm but screamed and became very pale. I continued to read aloud and again she made 3 an effort to put some candy into her mouth. This time I noticed with joy that she almost reached her mouth before she felt the pain. I kept reading aloud to her 6 until my sister and two boys came in, when she jumped off her bed, so delighted to see her brothers that she for- got her arm. She then began to tell her aunt that she 9 had broken her arm and mamma treated it with the truth- book. When this happened, it was about 10.30 A.M. and by 3 P.M. she was playing out doors as though 12 nothing had ever happened. — Mrs. M. G., Winnipeg, Man. |

Man never thinks of himself, he thinks only of God and God’s ideas. Man has no fear, man has trust in God, in good, and knows there is nothing but good, and is therefore absolutely fearlesp. Man never hides his God-given qualities, he is the manifestation of God, absolute good. Man is spiritual and he knows that he is spiritual; man is divine and he knows that he is divine ; man is perfect and knows that he is perfect; man docs perfect work and knows that he does perfect work, (Work against fear and pride.

When Christian Science came to me, I was a wreck, physically, 21 mentally, and financially; but since the reading of Sci- ence and Health turned my thought toward the light, I have found that, as far as I am willing to receive the word 24 and live it, all comforts are supplied me. I am especially grateful for the spiritual help. I know that things which I did and thought last year I would not do or think this 27 year, and am satisfied. Through the careful and prayer- ful study of Science and Health I have been lifted from sickness to health, from sorrow to peace, from lack to 30 plenty, and, the most beautiful of all, from darkness to light. — Mrs. H.

AH ideas are God’s ideas, all ideas proclaim the holiness of God, “ Man it the idea of Spirit; he reflects tbe beatific presence, illuming tbe universe with light. Man is deathless, spiritual. He is above sin or frailty ” (S, & H. p. 266). “ Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin ” (1 John 3 : 9). |

My mother's copy of Science and Health was always lying on the table, but I scarcely ever read it. One day, how- 21 ever, the mental conflict was so great I commenced read- ing in the hope of obtaining peace. Every day since then my companions have been the Bible and Science 24 and Health. At that time I had a very serious eruption on my face, which had been there two years. We had consulted several physicians, and used every remedy 27 suggested to eradicate it, but they proved useless. I had given up all hopes of its ever being healed, as the physician we last consulted pronounced it tuberculosis 30 of the skin and incurable. A few weeks after I com- 1 menced reading, I was amazed to see it almost healed over, and to-day my cheek is perfectly smooth, while the 3 scar is disappearing. In April my baby was born with only the practitioner and a woman friend present. I suffered little pain, and 6 the third day I went down-stairs. I am able to nurse him, — a privilege of which I was deprived with my first child. He is a picture of health, having never been 9 sick a day since he was born. — K. E. W. L., Mt. Dora, Fla. |

I was a very unhappy, discontented woman; I 21 had kidney disease, besides sore eyes, and my general health was very bad. The doctor said that the climate did not suit me, and that I certainly should have a change. 24 The best thing, he said, was to go back to France (my own country); but I did not like to leave the school, so I struggled on until July, when we went travelling for a 27 month, but I came home worse than ever. I had a lot of worry, one disappointment after another, and I often thought that life was not worth living. In September, 30 1904, we heard for the first time of Christian Science 1 through a girl who was attending our boarding-school, and who was healed through Christian Science treatment. 3 We bought the textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mrs. Eddy, and what a revelation it was and is to us; it is indeed the fountain of Truth. I 6 had read Science and Health but a very short time when I took off my glasses, began to sleep well, and soon found myself well in mind and body. Besides this, it has brought 9 harmony into our school, where there had been discord, and everything is changed for the better. I cannot de- scribe the happiness that has come to me through Chris- 12 tian Science; I can only exclaim with the psalmist: "Bless the Lord, O my soul;" and may God bless Mrs. Eddy. My one aim now is to live Christian Science, not in words 15 only, but in deeds; loving God more and my neighbor as myself, and following meekly and obediently all our Leader's teachings. Words cannot express my gratitude 18 to Mrs. Eddy for Christian Science. — S. A. K., Van- couver, B. C. |

Man does absolutely what he wills, for all his desires are the activity of God’s will, the only will there is. There arc no physical desires, for all is Spirit and the manifestation of Spirit. Man is not material, man is spiritual, belonging wholly to God. There is no craving, man’s desires arc instantly fulfilled, he has instantly everything he needs, and is satisfied and peaceful.

1755 | 609 | S&H 18 | 0 | smoking cigars healed | Show all | THE TRUE PHYSICIAN FOUND 15 It is with a deep sense of gratitude that I send the particulars of my healing through Christian Science. While visiting friends in the southwestern part of On- 18 tario, about three years ago, my attention was called to Christian Science and the wonderful healing it was doing. I had lived in New York for twenty-five years, 21 but had never heard of Christian Science before, to my recollection. Up to that time, for seventeen years, I had suffered 24 with indigestion and gastritis in the worst form, often being overcome from a seeming pressure against the heart. I had asthma for four years, also had worn glasses for 27 four years. It seemed to me that I had swallowed every known medicine to relieve my indigestion, but they only gave me temporary benefit. I purchased a copy of Sci- 30 ence and Health, and simply from the reading of that 1 grand book I was completely healed of all my physical ailments in two weeks' time. I have used no medi- 3 cine from that day to this, and with God's help, and the wonderful light revealed to me through the reading of Mrs. Eddy's book, I never expect to again.

Through its teachings I have been able to overcome many errors. When Christian Science found me, one year ago last April, in Chicago, I was suffering from catarrh of the stomach, which had been very persistent, and I had been a slave to the cigarette habit for eighteen years. Pain and weakness had robbed me of all that one holds dear. The first symptoms of the disease appeared about five years ago in the form of severe cramps of the stomach, which finally developed into other symptoms of that painful disease. I doctored continually, my diet daily becoming more rigid, until three slices of toast became my daily allowance of food. In this condition I left the East for my home in Chicago, hoping that a change of climate might benefit me. After spending six weeks there and finding no relief, I concluded to return East. The Sunday morning before leaving I picked up a Sunday paper, and glancing through the religious items my eyes fell on the notices of Christian Science church services. Curiosity led me to a service and I shall never forget that morning or the surprise and joy it gave me to find that beautiful church, and to know that so great a number actually believed that God does heal the sick today. This brought a first ray of hope. The evening service found me there again. Among the notices read was that of a reading room, giving the location and time of opening. Monday morning found me there promptly, and the first book I picked up was Science and Health which opened a new world to me. I had dieted so long and suffered so much that I had a morbid fear of food. When I had reached and read of "neither food nor the stomach, without the consent of mortal mind, can make one suffer" (Science and Health, p. 221), I left the reading room for something to eat. I found a bakery near by, and bought a bag of cakes which I ate, and shortly after I had a hearty dinner without the least complaint from my stomach. From that time until now I have eaten anything that I wished, and the craving for cigarettes, which I had for many years, has entirely vanished. The understanding of Truth, which entirely relieved the diseased stomach, healed also the morbid appetite for smoking. After coming back East, I bought a copy of Science and Health, which I have read daily, and find it a continual help in all the affairs of life. In my home and at work I find this Science a comfort and source of strength. I have had many difficulties in the way, but it has helped me out of them all. - W. E. B., New Britain, Conn. |

While visiting friends in the southwestern part of On- 18 tario, about three years ago, my attention was called to Christian Science and the wonderful healing it was doing. I had lived in New York for twenty-five years, 21 but had never heard of Christian Science before, to my recollection. Up to that time, for seventeen years, I had suffered 24 with indigestion and gastritis in the worst form, often being overcome from a seeming pressure against the heart. I had asthma for four years, also had worn glasses for 27 four years. It seemed to me that I had swallowed every known medicine to relieve my indigestion, but they only gave me temporary benefit. I purchased a copy of Sci- 30 ence and Health, and simply from the reading of that 1 grand book I was completely healed of all my physical ailments in two weeks' time. I have used no medi- 3 cine from that day to this, and with God's help, and the wonderful light revealed to me through the reading of Mrs. Eddy's book, I never expect to again. I used 6 to smoke eight or ten cigars a day, and also took an occasional drink, but the desire for these has gone, — I feel forever. I travel on the road, and am constantly 9 being invited to indulge, but it is no effort to abstain, and in many instances I find that my refusal helps others. 12 While I fully appreciate the release from my physical troubles, this pales into insignificance in comparison with the spiritual uplifting Christian Science has brought me. 15 I had not been inside a church for more than ten years, to attend regular services, until I entered a Christian Science church.

1758 | 643 | S&H 18 | 0 | smoking healed | Show all | GRATEFUL FOR MORAL AND SPIRITUAL AWAKENING About four years ago, after I had tried different ways 30 and means to be relieved from bodily suffering, a faith- 1 ful friend called my attention to the teaching of Chris- tian Science. After some opposition, I decided to in- 3 vestigate it, with the thought that if this teaching would be helpful, it was meant for me as well as for others; if it did not afford any help, I could put it aside again, but 6 that I would find out and be convinced. After I had read Mrs. Eddy's work, Science and Health, a few days, I found that my ailments had disappeared, 9 and a rest had come to me which I had never before known. I had smoked almost incessantly, although I had often determined to use my will power and never smoke again, 12 but had always failed. This desire as well as the de- sire for drink simply disappeared, and I wish to say here, that I received all these benefits before I had gained much 15 understanding of what I was reading. Like a prisoner, who had been in chains for years, I was suddenly set free. I did not then know how the chain had been removed, 18 but I had to acknowledge that it came through the reading of this book. I then felt an ardent desire to read more, and to know what this power was that had freed me 21 in a few days of that which I had been trying for years to shake off and had failed. It then became clear to me that this was the truth which Jesus Christ taught 24 and preached to free humanity almost two thousand years ago. It did not, however, occur to me to apply it in my business affairs; on the contrary, I first thought 27 that if I continued in my study I would have to retire from business. This did not happen, however, for I gradually found 30 that the little understanding of this wonderful teach- ing which I had acquired became a great help to me in my business. I became more friendly, more honest, 1 more loving to my fellow-men; and I also acquired better judgment and was able to do the right thing at the right 3 time. As a natural result my business improved. Be- fore I knew anything of Christian Science my business had often been a burden to me, fear and worry deprived 6 me of my rest. How different it is now! Through the study of the Bible, which now possesses unmeasurable treasures for me, and of our textbook, Science and Health, 9 and the other works of our Leader, I receive peace and confidence in God and that insight into character which is necessary for the correct management of any business. 12 — W.

1759 | 655 | S&H 18 | 0 | smoking healed | Show all | 27 AN EVER-PRESENT HELP It is a year since I began to read Science and Health, and I will now try to outline what a knowledge of its 30 teachings has done for me. 1 My condition was then very trying; my eyes, which had caused me much trouble since childhood, were 3 very painful. For these I had been treated by some of the best specialists in my native land, and after coming to the United States I had been doctored 6 much and had worn glasses for four years. I also had catarrh, for which I had taken much medicine without being relieved. In addition to this I was an excessive 9 smoker, using tobacco in some form almost constantly. I had contracted a smoker's heart, and used liquors freely. 12 The one who brought to me that which I now prize so highly, was a book agent. I told him that I should be forced to leave my trade on account of my eyes. 15 He then told me of having been healed of a cancer, through Christian Science treatment. He showed me a copy of Science and Health, which had the signs of 18 much use, and after being assured that if I did my part I would be healed of all my diseases, I sent for a copy of the book. 21 My recovery was very rapid, for after reading the book only three weeks I was completely healed of the tobacco habit. I will say, in regard to this healing, 24 that it did not require even as much as a resolution on my part. I was smoking a cigar, while reading Science and Health, when all the desire to continue 27 smoking left me, and I have never had a desire to use tobacco in any form since then. My eyes were the next to manifest the influence of the new knowledge 30 gained, and had soon so far recovered that I could go about my work with ease, and I have had no more use for glasses. To-day my heart is normal, the catarrh 1 has totally disappeared, and I am not addicted to the use of liquor. 3 Christian Science has proved to be an ever-present help, not only in overcoming physical ailments, but in business and daily life. It has also overcome a great 6 sense of fear. The Bible, which I regarded with suspicion, has become my guide, and Christianity has become a sweet reality, because the Christian Science 9 textbook has indeed been a "Key to the Scriptures" and has breathed through the Gospel pages a sweet sense of harmony. — A. F., Sioux City, Iowa. |

1760 | 678 | S&H 18 | 0 | smoking healed | Show all | When Christian Science first came to me, or rather, when I first came to Christian Science, I did not have a very bad opinion of myself. I thought I was a pretty good fellow. I had no religious views. I seemed to be getting along as well as, if not better than, some who professed Christianity. So I drifted along until I was led to investigate Christian Science. As I progressed in the understanding as gained from the study of both Science and Health and the Bible, and commenced to know myself, I found that a great change had been wrought in me. For fifteen years I had used tobacco, both chewing and smoking; for ten years I had been a victim of the drink habit, sometimes to excess; I was also addicted to profanity. Christian Science removed these appetites. A stomach trouble and other lesser ills, such as headache, a bad temper, an inordinate love of money, etc., disappeared under the same benign influence. Those things that seemed to be pleasure do not give me pleasure now. They were not real pleasure. I have lost nothing, I have sacrificed nothing; but I have gained everything, and not yet the whole, for I can see plenty yet to be done. The condition of mind before investigating and after is as different as black and white. As Mrs. Eddy says, "Not matter, but Mind, satisfieth. - G. B. P., Henry, S. D. |

1761 | 693 | S&H 18 | 0 | smoking healed | Show all | I first heard of Christian Science four years ago. At that time drinking and smoking were my comforters. I had no other companionship. I had lived almost constantly from childhood in an evil atmosphere. Though I was far from being satisfied with my condition, I failed to see how to better it until I read Science and Health. I used occasionally to listen to a sermon, but sermons did not give me any more comfort than I derived from my pipe, hence I concluded that church-going could not satisfy me and I preferred drinking and smoking. When I began to read Science and Health, I saw it offered something substantial. After a few months' study all desire for drinking and smoking disappeared. I did not give them up; I made no sacrifices, I simply found something better. I might mention that I had smoked ever since I can remember. I used to smoke years before I left school, and, like most Englishmen, loved my pipe, and would almost prefer to miss a meal rather than to go without my smoke. I used to think it gave me comfort. During my four years' study of Christian Science I have not spent a cent for doctors or medicine, neither have I lost a day from my work on account of sickness, which compares wonderfully with the previous four years. I take a great interest and pleasure in reading the Bible and studying the lessons in the Quarterly. The Bible used to be a most mysterious book to me, but Science and Health makes it a most precious book, making its meaning clearer, plainer, and simpler. I take this opportunity to express my gratitude to Mrs. Eddy and to the friend who invited me to attend the service held in the Auditorium years ago. I also wish to acknowledge the benefit I have had from the Journal and the Sentinel. They have helped me wonderfully. If the value of Science and Health and these publications were measured as business men value things, by the results or benefits they bring, they certainly would be priceless to me. It would be impossible to measure their value, as I have got something from Science and Health that all the money in the world could not buy. - H. P. H., Chicago, Ill. |

It is a little over a year since 6 Science found me in a deplorable condition, physically as well as mentally. I had ailments of many years' standing, — chronic stomach trouble, severe eye trouble, 9 made almost unbearable from the constant fear of losing my sight (a fate which had befallen my mother), also a painful rupture of twenty-five years' 12 standing. These ailments, combined with unhappy conditions in my home, made me very despondent. I had entirely lost my belief in an all-merciful God, and 15 I did not know where to turn for help. At that time Christian Science was brought to my notice, and I shall never forget the sublime moment when I perceived that 18 an all-loving Father is always with me. Forgotten was all sorrow and worry, and after four weeks' reading in Science and Health all my ailments had disappeared. 21 I am to-day a healthy, contented woman. All this has come to pass in one short year, and my earnest desire is to be more and more worthy to be 24 called a child of God. This is in loving gratitude for an understanding of this glorious truth. — Mrs. R. J., Chicago, Ill. |

1771 | 667 | S&H 18 | 0 | soil healed | Show all | BORN AGAIN It was in April, 1904, that I first heard the "still, 21 small voice" of the Christ and received healing through Christian Science; and the blessings have been so many since, that it would take too much space to 24 name them. Reared from childhood in an intellectual atmosphere, my paternal grandfather having been an orthodox minister of the old school for forty years, 27 and my father a deep student, ever seeking for the truth of all things, I began early to ponder and to study into the meaning of life, and came to the con- 30 clusion before I was twenty that though God probably 1 existed in some remote place, still it was impossible to connect Him with my present living. My highest 3 creed, therefore, became, "Do right because it is right and not for fear of being punished." Then began the suffering. Sorrow after sorrow followed each other 6 in rapid succession; for ten long years there was no rest, the road was indeed long and hard and had no turning, until finally the one thing that had stood by 9 me all through the trials, namely, my health, gave way, and with that went my last hope. But the last hour of the night had come, the dawn of day was at 12 hand; a dear friend left Science and Health upon my piano one day, saying that I would gain much good by reading it. 15 Glad to get away from my own poor thoughts, I opened the "little book" and began to read. I had read only a short time when such a wonderful trans- 18 formation took place! I was renewed; born again. Mere words cannot tell the story of the mighty up- lifting that carried me to the very gates of heaven. 21 When I began to read the book, life was a burden, but before I had finished reading it the first time, I was doing all my housework and doing it easily; and since that 24 glorious day I have been a well woman. My health is splendid, and I am striving to let my light so shine that others may be led to the truth. There have been 27 some mighty struggles with error, and I have learned that we cannot reach heaven with one long stride or easily drift inside the gate, but that the "asking" and 30 the "seeking" and the "knocking" must be earnest and persistent. For a long time I was always looking back to see if 1 the error had gone, until one day when I realized that to catch a glimpse of what spiritual sense means 3 I must put corporeal sense behind me. I then set to work in earnest to find the true way. I opened Science and Health and these words were before me, 6 "If God were understood, instead of being merely be- lieved, this understanding would establish health" (p. 203). I saw that I must get the right understanding of God! 9 I closed the book and with head bowed in prayer I waited with longing intensity for some answer. How long I waited I do not know, but suddenly, like a won- 12 derful burst of sunlight after a storm, came clearly this thought, "Be still, and know that I am God." I held my breath — deep into my hungering thought 15 sank the infinite meaning of that "I." All self- conceit, egotism, selfishness, everything that constitutes the mortal "I," sank abashed out of sight. I trod, as 18 it were, on holy ground. Words are inadequate to con- vey the fulness of that spiritual uplifting, but others who have had similar experiences will understand. 21 From that hour I have had an intelligent consciousness of the ever-presence of an infinite God who is only good. — C. B. G., Hudson, Mass. |

My eyes were very bad, so that I sat in a darkened room for weeks to- gether, most of the time in bed under opiates. The home 27 doctor and a specialist said the disease of the eyes could not be cured, though they might help me for a while. I had one operation, and the doctor said if I took cold I would 30 become totally blind. My suffering was beyond telling. 1 A clergyman called almost every day, and sat by my bed and wept, and my good, kind doctor shed tears many times. 3 Finally, after a year of this terrible suffering, I was sent to Indiana, to a sister who had been healed of lung trouble by Christian Science. The first day I was there she read 6 to me from the Bible and from "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mrs. Eddy, and I was healed. I knew that God was no respecter of persons, and when I 9 saw what had been done for my sister, who was changed from being a mere frame to a strong, robust, healthy, rosy- cheeked woman, the cough all gone, I said, "God has as 12 much for me, if I will accept it." I was healed instan- taneously by Christian Science, and am thankful to God for giving us this understanding through Mrs. Eddy, 15 our beloved Leader. I am now in perfect health. — Mrs. F.

Some of the best physicians in Boston 6 had pronounced his case incurable, saying that if he lived he would always be an invalid and a cripple. One of the diseases was gastric catarrh. He was allowed 9 to eat but very few things, and even after taking every precaution, he suffered to the extent that he would lie in spasms for half a day. He also had rickets; physi- 12 cians saying that there was not a natural bone in his body. It was while he was in what seemed to be his greatest 15 agony, and when I was in the darkest despair, that I first heard of Christian Science. The bearer of the joyful tidings could only tell me to come and hear of the wonder- 18 ful things that Christian Science was doing. I accepted the invitation, for I was willing to try anything to save my child, and the following Friday evening I attended 21 my first meeting, which was in The Mother Church of Christ, Scientist. Long before the service began every seat was filled, which was amazing to me, being an ordi- 24 nary weekly meeting, and that night I realized from the testimonies given that Christian Science was the religion for which I had been searching for years. The next 27 day I went to find a practitioner, but was unable to get the one who had been recommended, he being too busy. On my way home I thought of some of the testimonies 30 which I had heard the night before, — of people being 1 healed by simply reading Science and Health. I resolved at once to borrow a copy, and not dreaming of the 3 sacrifice that my friend would make by conferring such a favor, I went and asked her for a loan of Science and Health. I never saw any one part so reluctantly 6 with a book as my friend did with her copy of the textbook. I read it silently and audibly, day and night, in my 9 home, and although I could not seem to understand it, yet the healing commenced to take place at once. The little mouth which had been twisted by spasms 12 grew natural and the child was soon able to be up, playing and romping about the house as any child should. About this time we decided to move to the 15 far West. I was young in Science at the time, and my husband greatly feared that the journey would cause a relapse 18 for the child, but instead, he continued to improve. I constantly read the Bible, Science and Health, and Mis- cellaneous Writings, the two weeks we traveled, and we 21 were the only ones in our car who, throughout the journey, did not get train sick. The child's limbs grew perfectly straight, he ate anything he wanted, and for years he has 24 been a natural, healthy child in every way. He has passed through some of the worst forms of contagion untouched and unharmed. 27 I had been reading Science and Health several months, before I gave any thought to myself and my numerous complaints. I had never been very strong, and some of 30 my ailments were supposed to be hereditary and chronic, hence I dragged through many tedious years with a belief in medical laws and hereditary laws resting upon me. 1 Just before I commenced reading Science and Health I spent a half day in having my eyes examined by one 3 of the leading oculists in Boston. His verdict was that my eyes were in a dreadful condition, and that I would always need to wear glasses. In the meantime I com- 6 menced to read Science and Health, and when I thought of my eyes, I had no need for glasses. The years that I have been in Science I have used my eyes incessantly, 9 night as well as day, doing all kinds of trying work and without requiring the aid of glasses. I was healed of all my complaints whilst seeking the truth for my child, 12 and many of them have never returned. Those that appeared simply came to the surface to be destroyed. Teeth have been restored and facial blemishes re- 15 moved, unconsciously, simply by reading Science and Health. All of this is, however, nothing to compare with the spiritual uplifting which I have received, and 18 I have everything to be thankful for. — M. T. W., Los Angeles, Cal. |

In the little Texas town where we then lived there were two or three Christian Scientists who met at the home of one of their number to read the Lesson- 21 Sermon. Meeting one of them one day, I asked if un- believers could come to their meetings. She said that they could if they wanted to. I went, expecting them 24 to do something that I could laugh at when telling my friends about it. How surprised I was to find out that they didn't do anything but read the Bible and another 27 book which they called Science and Health. I still thought it all foolishness, but resolved to go to their meet- ings until I found out all they believed. I continued to 30 go until I began to understand a little of what they knew, 1 not what they believed; and instead of spending my time telling others what a silly thing Christian Science 3 is, I am now trying to find words to tell what a great and wonderful thing it is. I have been healed of so- called incurable spinal disease of ten years' standing 6 by studying the Bible and Science and Health. Science and Health has been my only teacher, and I wish to send my thanks to our dear Leader. 9 There are no other Scientists near where we now live, but I have the Quarterly and study the lessons by myself. I have five small children, and Christian Science is in- 12 valuable to me in controlling them, and in overcoming their common ills. They often help themselves and each other to destroy their little hurts and fears. — Mrs. 15 M. H., Oleta, Okla. |

For twenty years I was a constant sufferer, my spine having been injured when I was very young. As a little child I 6 suffered so much that I would look up to the stars and beg God, who I thought might be up there somewhere, to take me away from the earth, — I was 9 so tired. A great wall of pain seemed to separate me from the pleasures enjoyed by others, and I could not explain how I felt, because no one could understand. 12 Years passed, and I saw my earthly happiness swept away; my heart was broken and I did not know what to do. I cried for help, day after day and night after 15 night, although I was not sure what God was, nor where He was. I only knew that I suffered, and was in need of help, and that there was no earthly help 18 for either mind or body. I loved purity, truth, and right always, and this made evil seem a most terrible reality. I was unable to cope with it, and so found 21 myself in despair. This was my condition when I com- menced reading Science and Health. I was ready for its message, and in about ten days there came a won- 24 derful insight into the truth which heals the sick and binds up the broken-hearted. All pain left me, I had a glimpse of the new heavens and the new earth, and 27 was beginning to be fed by Love divine. I had suffered for years with insomnia. That night I rested like a child, and awoke the next morning well 30 and happy. A flood of light daily illumined the pages of the "little book," and the revelation it holds for all 1 came to my waiting heart. "The peace which passeth all understanding" rested upon me, and joy too deep for 3 words transformed my life. My prayers were answered, for I had found God in Christian Science. The Bible, which I knew very little about, became 6 my constant study, my joy, and my guide. The copy which I bought at the time of my healing is marked from Genesis to Revelation. It was so constantly 9 in my hands for three years that the cover became worn and the leaves loose, so it has been laid away for a new one. Two and three o'clock in the morning 12 often found me poring over its pages, which grew more and more sacred to me every day, and the help I received therefrom was wonderful, for which I can 15 find no words to express my gratitude. — I. L., Los Angeles, Cal. |

The pain 30 was intense for some time and for several hours I was un- 1 able to walk or stand alone. Later, a growing weakness of the back accompanied with sharp pains alarmed my 3 parents, who called a physician, and he pronounced it spinal trouble. Then followed nearly twenty years of increased suffering, at times very severe. As years went 6 by and I became a wife and mother, my suffering in- creased. Everything that medical skill could do was done, but finding no lasting benefit from anything, I lost 9 hope of recovery. When Christian Science found me I was under the doctor's sentence that if I lived the week through I would 12 become entirely helpless, not able to move hand or foot. My husband was a travelling man, and being urgently called home, he met an old friend on the train who asked 15 why we did not try Christian Science. The reply, We know nothing of it, was followed by a brief explanation of its healing power and the benefit his family had re- 18 ceived. This inspired my husband with new hope, and on his arrival at home he called on a practitioner, who recommended our getting Science and Health, which we 21 did, but ignorance and the prejudice of old education produced such fear that I hid the book under the covers of the bed whenever the children came into the room, 24 fearing that it was not of God and would injure them. God's dear love was, however, more potent than these foolish fears, and the first day I read from its sacred pages 27 I was convinced its teachings were the same truths as Jesus Christ had taught centuries ago. When I had read a few pages, I reached out and threw my medicine from the 30 open window at the head of my bed. I then turned back to the book and began reading again, when, lo, the Christ-idea dawned upon me, and I was healed instantaneously. 1 I first noticed the spot in my back cooling, and soon I got out of bed. I continued to read eagerly; I felt as 3 if I wanted to devour the healing truth, and drank it in as a thirsty plant does the gentle rain. When dinner was prepared, I walked out and ate a hearty meal with the 6 family, to the amazement of all. We shall never forget what a joyful meal this was. How we did thank God for Christian Science! 9 As year after year has gone by, till twenty years have passed and the healing has remained perfect, I have grown to thank God with deeper sincerity that one brave 12 woman was found pure enough to bring forth this Christ- healing again, to remain forever among men and to save suffering humanity from all disease and sin. — Mrs. 15 P.

I thought I was a pretty good fellow. I had no religious views. I seemed to be getting along as well as, if not better than, some who professed Christianity. So I drifted along until I was led to investigate Christian Science. As I progressed in the understanding as gained from the study of both Science and Health and the Bible, and commenced to know myself, I found that a great change had been wrought in me. For fifteen years I had used tobacco, both chewing and smoking; for ten years I had been a victim of the drink habit, sometimes to excess; I was also addicted to profanity. Christian Science removed these appetites. A stomach trouble and other lesser ills, such as headache, a bad temper, an inordinate love of money, etc., disappeared under the same benign influence. Those things that seemed to be pleasure do not give me pleasure now. They were not real pleasure. I have lost nothing, I have sacrificed nothing; but I have gained everything, and not yet the whole, for I can see plenty yet to be done. The condition of mind before investigating and after is as different as black and white. As Mrs. Eddy says, "Not matter, but Mind, satisfieth. - G. B. P., Henry, S. D. |

At that time I had been a chronic 15 invalid for a good many years. I had acute bowel trouble, bronchitis, and a number of other troubles. One physician had told me that my lungs were like wet paper, 18 ready to tear at any time, and I was filled with fear, as my mother, two brothers, and a sister had been vic- tims of consumption. I tried many physicians and 21 every material remedy that promised help, but no help came until I found a copy of Mrs. Eddy's book, Sci- ence and Health. The book was placed in my hands 24 by one who did not then appreciate it, and I was told that it would be hard for me to understand it. I com- menced reading it with this thought, but I caught beau- 27 tiful glimpses of Truth, which took away my fear and healed me of all those diseases, and they have never returned. 30 I would also like to tell how I was healed of a sprained 1 ankle. The accident occurred in the morning, and all that day and during the night I gave myself Christian 3 Science treatment, as best I could. The next morning it seemed to be no better, being very sore, badly swollen, and much discolored. Feeling that I had done all I could, 6 I decided to stop thinking about it. I took my copy of Science and Health and began reading. Very soon I became so absorbed in the book that I forgot all about 9 my ankle; it went entirely out of my thought, for I had a glimpse of all God's creation as spiritual, and for the time being lost sight of my material selfhood. After two 12 hours I laid the book down and walked into another room. When next I thought of my ankle, I found it was not hurt- ing me. The swelling had gone down, the black and blue 15 appearance had nearly vanished, and it was perfectly well. It was healed while I was "absent from the body" and "present with the Lord." This experience was worth 18 a great deal to me, for it showed me how the healing is done. — C. H., Portland, Ore. |

There is no misunderstanding, for God is Truth and man knows Truth, being God’s consciousness by means of which God knows everything necessary. Man is never doubtful what to do or where to go, for man is led and governed by God, knowing everything he needs instantly. Man never has a difficulty in finding the proper man, he is instantly in touch with any one he needs. Man never has any difficulty in expressing himself, God’s ideas unfold with perfect sequence and are re-presented with perfect sequence *, man understands every idea of God perfectly and instantly. There is no fear, all God’s ideas arc perfect, and man knows all God’s ideas are perfect, as he understands instantly every combination of ideas of God which is presented to him. Man can never pass on any ideas to his fellow-man that are not perfect and for his advantage, for all God’s ideas arc perfect, ministering to man and benefiting man, adding to his wealth the combination of ideas of which he has been conscious. Man is always helping and benefiting his fellow-man, passing on perfect ideas and receiving ideas in exchange. There is nothing to stop this action, for it is the action of God. Love is the power that causes the ideas to circulate, and Love is omnipotent, for Love is God. (Work against fear and for supply and for love.) |

Through its teachings I have been able to overcome many errors. When Christian Science found me, one year ago last April, in Chicago, I was suffering from catarrh of the stomach, which had been very persistent, and I had been a slave to the cigarette habit for eighteen years. Pain and weakness had robbed me of all that one holds dear. The first symptoms of the disease appeared about five years ago in the form of severe cramps of the stomach, which finally developed into other symptoms of that painful disease. I doctored continually, my diet daily becoming more rigid, until three slices of toast became my daily allowance of food. In this condition I left the East for my home in Chicago, hoping that a change of climate might benefit me. After spending six weeks there and finding no relief, I concluded to return East. The Sunday morning before leaving I picked up a Sunday paper, and glancing through the religious items my eyes fell on the notices of Christian Science church services. Curiosity led me to a service and I shall never forget that morning or the surprise and joy it gave me to find that beautiful church, and to know that so great a number actually believed that God does heal the sick today. This brought a first ray of hope. The evening service found me there again. Among the notices read was that of a reading room, giving the location and time of opening. Monday morning found me there promptly, and the first book I picked up was Science and Health which opened a new world to me. I had dieted so long and suffered so much that I had a morbid fear of food. When I had reached and read of "neither food nor the stomach, without the consent of mortal mind, can make one suffer" (Science and Health, p. 221), I left the reading room for something to eat. I found a bakery near by, and bought a bag of cakes which I ate, and shortly after I had a hearty dinner without the least complaint from my stomach. From that time until now I have eaten anything that I wished, and the craving for cigarettes, which I had for many years, has entirely vanished. The understanding of Truth, which entirely relieved the diseased stomach, healed also the morbid appetite for smoking. After coming back East, I bought a copy of Science and Health, which I have read daily, and find it a continual help in all the affairs of life. In my home and at work I find this Science a comfort and source of strength. I have had many difficulties in the way, but it has helped me out of them all. - W. E. B., New Britain, Conn. |

In the hope that it may be of benefit to some such, and in 3 gratitude for help received, I submit my own experience. Three years ago I knew nothing of Christian Science, aside from the knowledge gathered from the daily papers and 6 current literature. When I thought of the subject at all, it was to class Christian Science with various human the- ories with which I could not be in sympathy, for they 9 seemed to rely upon both good and evil. I had never known of a case of healing, had never read the textbook or heard of the Journal or Sentinel, but I would sometimes 12 see people going into the Christian Science church. I was tired of trying to find anything satisfactory in religious belief, for it seemed as if God either could not or would 15 not bring into harmony the terrible conditions existing in human society. I had quit using any form of prayer ex- cept the Lord's Prayer, and even then omitted the words 18 "lead us not into temptation." How I longed to know just a little of the "why?" and "wherefore?" of it all. Here is where Christian Science found me. I was 21 thrown in contact with a dear friend of whom I had seen very little for a year or more, a thoroughly educated woman and a thinker. She told me she had taken some treatments 24 in Christian Science for a physical trouble, and had be- come very much interested in the study of "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mrs. Eddy. She 27 asked me if I would like to look at the book, and I said I would be glad to do so. The first chapter, "Prayer," appealed to me from the first, and when I came to Mrs. 30 Eddy's spiritual sense of the Lord's Prayer (Science and Health, p. 17), my interest was fully aroused. I knew that in a dim way I was learning what it means to "pray 1 without ceasing." Very soon I bought a book of my own, and with the help of our Lesson-Sermons, as given in the 3 Quarterly, I began in earnest the study of Science and Health, in connection with the Bible. I stood very much in need of physical healing at this 6 time, having suffered for several years from an obstinate form of stomach trouble. So far as I know, I gave no thought to the benefits I might derive physically from the 9 study, but I did believe this Science held the truth of things, and I was so absorbed in getting an understanding of the Principle that I thought very little of myself. After about 12 three or four months' study I realized that the stomach trouble was gone, and with it went other physical troubles, which have never returned. This healing was brought 15 about by the earnest, conscientious seeking for the truth, as contained in the Bible and interpreted by our Leader in our textbook, Science and Health. I have since learned 18 more of the Science of healing and have been able in a small way to help others in need. I have also learned that in living and loving is healing realized, and in reflect- 21 ing divine Love I have the "signs following." When we think of the pure, loving, unselfish life Mrs. Eddy must have lived in order to become conscious of this 24 truth and give it to us, words are a poor medium through which to express the gratitude which her followers feel for her. It is best expressed by obediently following her, even 27 as she is following Christ. — H. T., Omaha, Neb. |

My condition had 21 reached the stage in which I had periodical attacks, that came on with greater frequency. I was a travelling sales- man, and it was a common occurrence for me to have to 24 call a physician to my hotel to administer morphine for an acute form of this disease. This became a regular thing at certain places, and these attacks always left me 27 worse than before. As a result of the last one I lost a great deal in weight. I had tried many physicians and most of the usual remedies during these years of suffer- 30 ing, without any good result. Finally, as a last resort, I 1 decided to try Christian Science, and I was healed by reading "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" 3 by Mrs. Eddy. My health has been of the best since I was healed, now six years ago. In the family we have depended entirely 6 on Christian Science for our healing, and have ever found it efficacious. We consider the physical healing, however, only incidental to the understanding of God and His good- 9 ness. This, together with our increased love for the Bible, is proving most valuable to us. We are humbly trying to live the lives that will prove our gratitude to God, and 12 to our beloved Leader, Mrs. Eddy. — Charles E. Peck, St. Johnsbury, Vt. |

During 18 this time I had three good doctors treating me. I gained a little in strength, but had very little relief from the stomach trouble. I was recommended to try mineral 21 springs and did so, but with the same disappointment. I went to a sanitarium, but yet the stomach trouble pre- vailed. I had some friends who recommended patent 24 medicines, but no healing came. I worried along in this way for several years. Finally I read medicine nearly two years with a good doctor 27 friend, especially for my own benefit, and during this time I had a severe attack of bladder trouble, and for fifteen years I suffered so severely at times that I thought 30 life was not really worth living. In connection with these 1 troubles I suffered every winter with rheumatism and the grip. I also had a growth coming on both eyes called 3 cataract, which caused my eyes to be inflamed nearly all the time, and this growth had made such progress that it was causing my vision to be very dim when read- 6 ing. Corns were not forgotten, as I was reminded of them very frequently, and for all these troubles I had tried every remedy I heard of that I was able to get, specialists 9 included, without relief. Thanks to a friend who took me in this hopeless, dis- couraged condition and led me to the light that never 12 knows darkness, I got a copy of Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy and was healed in a short time by reading this work. — D.

As I read other testimonies and rejoice in them, some one may rejoice in mine. I was healed by reading Science and 18 Health. By applying it, I found it to be the truth that Jesus taught, — the truth that sets free. From childhood I had never known a well day. I 21 was healed of lung trouble of long standing. Con- sumption was hereditary in our family, my mother and three brothers having passed on with it. The law of 24 materia medica said that in a short time I must fol- low them. I also had severe stomach trouble of over eight years' standing, during which time I always re- 27 tired without supper, as the fear of suffering from my food was so great that I denied myself food when hun- gry. For over twenty years I had ovarian trouble, 30 which was almost unbearable at times. It dated from 1 the birth of my first child, and at one time necessitated an operation. I suffered with about all the ills that 3 flesh is heir to: I had trouble with my eyes from a child; wore glasses for fourteen years, several oculists saying I would go blind, one declaring I would be blind in less 6 than a year if I did not submit to an operation, which I refused to do. But thanks be to God whose Truth reached me through 9 the study of our textbook. Words fail to express what Christian Science has done for me in various ways, for my children, my home, my all. The physical healing 12 is but a small part; the spiritual unfolding and uplifting is the "pearl of great price," the half that has never been told. — Mrs. J. P. M., Kansas City, Mo. |

1834 | 655 | S&H 18 | 0 | stomach healed | Show all | 1 A JOYFUL EXPERIENCE In love and gratitude to God, and to Mrs. Eddy, the 3 interpreter of Jesus' beautiful teachings, I wish to tell of some of the benefits which I have received from Christian Science. It is a little over a year since 6 Science found me in a deplorable condition, physically as well as mentally. I had ailments of many years' standing, — chronic stomach trouble, severe eye trouble, 9 made almost unbearable from the constant fear of losing my sight (a fate which had befallen my mother), also a painful rupture of twenty-five years' 12 standing. These ailments, combined with unhappy conditions in my home, made me very despondent. I had entirely lost my belief in an all-merciful God, and 15 I did not know where to turn for help. At that time Christian Science was brought to my notice, and I shall never forget the sublime moment when I perceived that 18 an all-loving Father is always with me. Forgotten was all sorrow and worry, and after four weeks' reading in Science and Health all my ailments had disappeared. 21 I am to-day a healthy, contented woman. All this has come to pass in one short year, and my earnest desire is to be more and more worthy to be 24 called a child of God. This is in loving gratitude for an understanding of this glorious truth. — Mrs. R. J., Chicago, Ill. |

1835 | 678 | S&H 18 | 0 | stomach healed | Show all | When Christian Science first came to me, or rather, when I first came to Christian Science, I did not have a very bad opinion of myself. I thought I was a pretty good fellow. I had no religious views. I seemed to be getting along as well as, if not better than, some who professed Christianity. So I drifted along until I was led to investigate Christian Science. As I progressed in the understanding as gained from the study of both Science and Health and the Bible, and commenced to know myself, I found that a great change had been wrought in me. For fifteen years I had used tobacco, both chewing and smoking; for ten years I had been a victim of the drink habit, sometimes to excess; I was also addicted to profanity. Christian Science removed these appetites. A stomach trouble and other lesser ills, such as headache, a bad temper, an inordinate love of money, etc., disappeared under the same benign influence. Those things that seemed to be pleasure do not give me pleasure now. They were not real pleasure. I have lost nothing, I have sacrificed nothing; but I have gained everything, and not yet the whole, for I can see plenty yet to be done. The condition of mind before investigating and after is as different as black and white. As Mrs. Eddy says, "Not matter, but Mind, satisfieth. - G. B. P., Henry, S. D. |

1836 | 679 | S&H 18 | 0 | stomach healed | Show all | I should like to express my gratitude for the many benefits I have received through Christian Science, and to mention the great joy brought to me in the thought that man is not the helpless victim of sin, disease, and death. Through its teachings I have been able to overcome many errors. When Christian Science found me, one year ago last April, in Chicago, I was suffering from catarrh of the stomach, which had been very persistent, and I had been a slave to the cigarette habit for eighteen years. Pain and weakness had robbed me of all that one holds dear. The first symptoms of the disease appeared about five years ago in the form of severe cramps of the stomach, which finally developed into other symptoms of that painful disease. I doctored continually, my diet daily becoming more rigid, until three slices of toast became my daily allowance of food. In this condition I left the East for my home in Chicago, hoping that a change of climate might benefit me. After spending six weeks there and finding no relief, I concluded to return East. The Sunday morning before leaving I picked up a Sunday paper, and glancing through the religious items my eyes fell on the notices of Christian Science church services. Curiosity led me to a service and I shall never forget that morning or the surprise and joy it gave me to find that beautiful church, and to know that so great a number actually believed that God does heal the sick today. This brought a first ray of hope. The evening service found me there again. Among the notices read was that of a reading room, giving the location and time of opening. Monday morning found me there promptly, and the first book I picked up was Science and Health which opened a new world to me. I had dieted so long and suffered so much that I had a morbid fear of food. When I had reached and read of "neither food nor the stomach, without the consent of mortal mind, can make one suffer" (Science and Health, p. 221), I left the reading room for something to eat. I found a bakery near by, and bought a bag of cakes which I ate, and shortly after I had a hearty dinner without the least complaint from my stomach. From that time until now I have eaten anything that I wished, and the craving for cigarettes, which I had for many years, has entirely vanished. The understanding of Truth, which entirely relieved the diseased stomach, healed also the morbid appetite for smoking. After coming back East, I bought a copy of Science and Health, which I have read daily, and find it a continual help in all the affairs of life. In my home and at work I find this Science a comfort and source of strength. I have had many difficulties in the way, but it has helped me out of them all. - W. E. B., New Britain, Conn. |

1837 | 683 | S&H 18 | 0 | stomach healed | Show all | PREJUDICE OVERCOME I became interested in Christian Science somewhat 30 over three years ago when in much need of help. I had never been strong, and as I grew older I grew 1 weaker and at last became so ill that life was a burden to me. Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy was sent 3 to me, in answer to prayer, as I thought. I was a little afraid of all these new fads, as I thought them, but I had not read far before I felt that I had found the truth 6 which makes us free. I was healed of stomach trouble, inward weakness, and bilious attacks. One physician said I might have to undergo an opera- 9 tion before I could get well, but, thanks to this Truth, I have found that the only operation needed was the re- generation of this so-called human mind by learning to 12 know God. In many cases I have been able to help myself and others. Words cannot express my thanks to Mrs. Eddy, and 15 to all who are bringing these great truths to the help of the whole world. — E. E.

1838 | 619 | S&H 18 | 0 | stomach neuralgia healed | Show all | 9 A HELPFUL HEALING I became interested in Christian Science about eleven years ago, and was healed of neuralgia of the stomach, 12 from which I had suffered from a child. 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 aloud. 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. |

She said I must put aside all medicine, and by reading faithfully she knew I could be healed. The book became my constant com- 6 panion, and in a short time I was healed. Besides the relief from an operation, I was completely healed of severe headaches and stomach trouble. Physicians could give 9 me no help for either of these ailments. For ten years I have not used medicine of any kind, and have not missed a Christian Science service on account of sickness during 12 this period. I am perfectly well. To say that I am grate- ful to God for all this does not express my feelings. The physical healing was wonderful, but the understanding 15 given me of God, and the ability to help others out- weigh all else. I also love our dear Leader. — Mrs. V. I. B., Concord, N. H. |

Man is the compound idea of God, and reflects or manifests God, being “ the express image of bis person ” (Hcb. I : 3). There is no material cause and effect, the only cause is God. Man’s food never makes him stout, for man’s food is the ideas of God, which man understands and assimilates perfectly, and radiates forth again to the joy of infinite beings. Man is perfect, eternal, infinite, the perfect expression of a glorious God. “ Spirit blesses the multiplication of its own pure and perfect ideas. From the infinite elements of the one Mind emanate all form, colour, quality, and quantity, and these are mental, both primarily and secondarily" (S. & H. p. 512). |

About six and a half 18 years ago, however, having exhausted all material means at my command, — materia medica, electricity, gym- nastics, cycling, and so on, — and being in a hopeless 21 state, the study of Christian Science was taken up. I had been a sufferer from catarrh and sore throat for over thirty years, and in the last five were added several others, 24 including dyspepsia, and bronchitis, and a loss in flesh of sixty pounds. I was completely healed, and regained health, strength, and flesh through the spiritual under- 27 standing of Christian Science, the result of about six weeks' study. This good and perfect gift came to me through the careful and prayerful study of Christian 30 Science, as revealed to the world to-day through Science 1 and Health. The promise of Christ Jesus, "the truth shall make you free," was fulfilled, and the past six years 3 of health and harmony have been spent in striving to "hold fast that which is good." While most grateful for the physical healing, my grati- 6 tude for the mental and spiritual regeneration is beyond expression. When I learned that Jesus' mission of heal- ing sickness as well as sin did not end with his short stay 9 upon earth, but is practical in all ages, my joy was un- bounded. Having spent thousands in the old way, it seemed wonderful to be healed at such small cost as the 12 price of the "little book" and a few weeks' study. Every thought of prejudice immediately vanished before the proofs that Christian Science is indeed the elucidation 15 and practical application of Jesus' teachings, which are demonstrable truth, "The same yesterday, and to-day, and forever." — C.

The periodicals so wisely established by our 21 Leader give us one means of showing forth the praises of Truth. From the darkness of physical pain and weariness into 24 the light of wholeness and joyousness in work and living, — from the darkness of a clouded sight into the light of clearer vision, — from the darkness of doubt 27 and discord into the marvellous light of the reality of good, — this is what a reading of the Christian Science textbook has done for me. 30 At the time the book was lent to me, I was teach- 1 ing in the public schools of Chicago, and absences from my work on account of illness were of frequent occurrence. 3 For five weeks I had been under the care of a specialist for an organic trouble, and he said I would have to come as many more months before a cure could be effected. 6 At this time, Science and Health was brought to my notice. I never thought of such a thing as being healed by the reading of the book, but my thought was so changed 9 that I was healed, not only of the organic trouble, but of blurred eyesight, fatigue, and a train of other discordant manifestations. I did not go back to the physician 12 until four months later to pay my bill (which, by the way, was more than five times the price of the Science and Health I had purchased). From the time I read 15 the book I taught steadily without losing time from my work. I was helped, too, with my work in many other ways. 18 Through reading the textbook I learned that God has given us strength to do all we have to do, and that it is the things we do not have to do (the envying, strife, emu- 21 lating, vainglorying, and so on) that leave in their wake fatigue and discord. Gratitude to our beloved Leader, Mrs. Eddy, and 24 to her faithful students, with whom I afterwards be- came associated, can be expressed only by daily efforts to put into practice what has been taught. — T.

1861 | 234 | Rawson | 0 | Strikes | Show all | Man cannot possibly ask for or take what he is not entitled to, for man has instantly everything he needs; God’s ideas unfold with perfect sequence and regularity, idea after idea. Man cannot force his will on his fellow-man, for there is only one will, God’s will. There is no injustice, for God is the Principle of all justice, and man is absolutely just. Man never stops work, he is always in the right place, at the right time, doing perfect work, God’s work. Man can never be discontented, he loves to do his work, passing on God’s ideas to his fellow-man, giving infinite joy, and receiving divine ideas in exchange. When man works God works ; man is ever active and energetic ; God’s ideas always circulate in Mind, unfolding regularly. God is the Principle of all law and order, and Love is the power which causes these ideas to circulate; Love causes man to pass on God’s ideas, benefiting and helping his fellow-man, and Love is omnipotent, for Love is God, giving man all he needs. There arc no grievances, man is always happy, knowing Truth ; there are no mistakes, man reflects wisdom, intelligence and knowledge. There is no lack of co-operation between employer and employee, all men are in the one Mind, part of God’s consciousness, working perfectly together for the benefit of all.

The 30 attending physician declared that I could live but a short 1 time, and I felt there would be a limit to my endur- ance of the torture, but the disease was dissipated into 3 nothingness through Christian Science, which brought me peace. Like many others I had been seemingly lost in the 6 sea of error, without a compass, yet earnestly and hon- estly seeking a haven. I had investigated all kinds of religions and philosophies that came under my notice, 9 with the exception of Christian Science, which was not then deemed worthy of inquiry, and yet it held the very truth I was searching for — the light which 12 "shineth in the darkness; and the darkness com- prehended it not." Three years of stubborn resist- ance to Truth, with increasing suffering, followed — 15 then the light came, and with it a new experience.

The 30 attending physician declared that I could live but a short 1 time, and I felt there would be a limit to my endur- ance of the torture, but the disease was dissipated into 3 nothingness through Christian Science, which brought me peace. Like many others I had been seemingly lost in the 6 sea of error, without a compass, yet earnestly and hon- estly seeking a haven. I had investigated all kinds of religions and philosophies that came under my notice, 9 with the exception of Christian Science, which was not then deemed worthy of inquiry, and yet it held the very truth I was searching for — the light which 12 "shineth in the darkness; and the darkness com- prehended it not." Three years of stubborn resist- ance to Truth, with increasing suffering, followed — 15 then the light came, and with it a new experience. Now, after nine years of Christian Science experience, under severe tests, it can be truthfully said that it 18 has not failed me in any hour of need. — J. F. J., Cincinnati, Ohio. |

1880 | 691 | S&H 18 | 0 | suffering for 6 years healed | Show all | A HELPFUL TESTIMONY 18 Words cannot express my gratitude to God for Christian Science. When I first read Science and Health, I had tried every remedy I had ever heard of. 21 I felt no change in mind or body that I was conscious of until I read page 16 of the chapter on "Prayer," in Science and Health. The first words of the "spiritual 24 sense of the Lord's Prayer," telling of our Father- Mother God, gave me a glimpse of heavenly light. I stopped and reasoned, and remembered the teachings 27 of Jesus. The truth of man's spiritual being dawned on my consciousness. I realized I was not subject to mortal laws, as I had been taught all my life. I could 30 not explain how I knew this, but I knew it. Through Christian Science, Mrs. Eddy had given me what 1 I had longed for all my life, — a Mother, a perfect "Father-Mother God." I had known there was a 3 great lack, and at that time I believe the orthodox world had but half of the truth which Jesus came to establish. When I read, "Give us this day our daily 6 bread," and its spiritual interpretation, my tears began to flow; all the years of bitterness, hate, and fear melted away. I knew then, as I know now, that nothing satisfies 9 but Love. That day began the outward and inward conscious healing, — mental and physical. There never came a doubt! I absolutely knew that Christian Science 12 was and is the truth. Money, friends, materiality, are nothing beside the conscious knowledge of God, man, and the universe. 15 I did not need treatment from any one, — Science and Health was so clear and beautiful. I could not understand the Bible before, but I found it illumined 18 now that I had a little understanding of Christian Science. For ten years I have not had to lie down in the daytime from any sickness. I am now, and have 21 been all these years, the picture of perfect health. When I first read Science and Health I weighed one hundred and four pounds; I now weigh over one hun- 24 dred and sixty. This physical health is not to be com- pared to my happiness, — my harmony that nothing can take away, — because it is the gift of God. Nothing 27 has shown me the perversity of the human mind more than in its conclusions in regard to my healing. Even when I felt and knew that I was healed, people con- 30 stantly said, because I was thin and delicate looking, "You are not well, any one could look at you and know it." Now that I am fleshy, they say, "You don't look 1 as if you ever had a pain in all your life. You could not have had consumption." 3 When I think what my life was before I had Christian Science, of the six years of colds, suffering, and cough- ing, not to mention the unhappiness, I want to "work, 6 watch, and pray" for the Mind of Christ, that I may work rightly in God's vineyard, and to know that in truth, what belongs to one belongs to all, — that one God, one Life, 9 Truth, and Love is all. — A.

1881 | 650 | S&H 18 | 0 | suffering physical healed | Show all | A CONVINCING INVESTIGATION While I have testified to those around me and in many 30 localities, of my healing in Christian Science, I feel that 1 it is high time I put the candle in the candlestick where all who will may see. My earliest recollection was a day 3 of suffering, — a physical inheritance from my mother, which gave simple interest for a time until years ad- vanced and compound interest was added. My father 6 was a physician, and material remedies were used for my mother without avail, consequently his confidence in them for me was shaken, — in fact he often told me 9 it was better to suffer without medicine than become a chronic doser, without pain. I began teaching in early life and continued for more 12 than twenty years, and during that time not a day passed without pain, or fear of pain, and only for my innate love of life it would have become an intolerable burden. 15 For five years oatmeal was my chief food and I became almost as attached to it as Kaspar Hauser to his crust. I was early taught to have faith in God, and many times 18 was relieved of pain only to have it appear again in an aggravated form. At last my heart cried out for the living God, and 21 the answer came by one of His messengers, who told me of Christian Science. I replied that I believed God could heal, but that I had no faith in the healing of Chris- 24 tian Science, but would like to investigate its theology, as it might aid in giving me some clue to the meaning of life. For three years I had searched the works of 27 the most scientific writers to find the origin of life; many times I would think I had traced it to the beginning, but it would elude my grasp every time. One day in 30 talking with my friend, she said she would like to loan me the textbook, Science and Health, which I very will- ingly accepted. Not long afterward I felt a severe 1 attack of suffering. I opened the book for the first time and found a paragraph near the middle which 3 attracted my attention. I read the same paragraph over and over for nearly two hours. When the tea bell rang I closed the book and I shall never forget my per- 6 ception of the new heaven and the new earth, — every- thing in nature that I could see seemed to have been washed and made clean. The flowers that I have 9 always loved so much, and that from childhood had told me such sweet stories, now spoke to me of the All-in-all, the hearts of my friends seemed kinder, — I 12 had touched the hem of the garment of healing. I ate my supper that evening forgetful of the prepa- rations I had made for suffering, and when the next 15 day began I was more zealous of good work than ever before. Since closing Science and Health at my first reading I have never been able to find the paragraph 18 which I had read so many times over, the words seemed to have slipped away from me, but my joy knew no bounds at having found the pearl of great price. By 21 the continued reading of the book I was entirely healed, and for fourteen years I have not seen a day of physical suffering. — Miss L. M., Rome, N. Y. |

1882 | 637 | S&H 18 | 0 | suicidal tendencies healed | Show all | SAVED FROM INSANITY AND SUICIDE 15 A few years ago, while under a sense of darkness and despair caused by ill health and an unhappy home, Sci- ence and Health was loaned me with a request that I 18 should read it. At that time my daughter was given up by materia medica to die of lingering consumption, supposed to have 21 been inherited. My own condition seemed even more alarming, as insanity was being manifested, and rather than go to an insane asylum, it seemed to me the only 24 thing to do was to commit suicide. Heart trouble, kid- ney complaint, and continual headaches caused from female trouble were some of the many ailments I had 27 to contend with. My doctor tried to persuade me to undergo an operation as a means of relief, but I had submitted to a severe operation ten years previous, and 30 found only additional suffering as a result, so I would not consent. 1 When I began with Science and Health, I read the chapter on "Prayer" first, and at that time did not sup- 3 pose it possible for me to remember anything I read, but felt a sweet sense of God's protection and power, and a hope that I should at last find Him to be what 6 I so much needed, — a present help in time of trouble. Before that chapter on "Prayer" was finished, my daugh- ter was downstairs eating three meals a day, and daily 9 growing stronger. Before I had finished reading the textbook she was well, but never having heard that the reading of Science and Health healed any one, it was 12 several months before I gave God the glory. One by one my many ailments left me, all but the head- aches; they were less frequent, until at the end of three 15 years the fear of them was entirely overcome. Neither myself nor my daughter have ever received treatments, but the study of the Bible and Science and 18 Health, the Christian Science textbook by Mrs. Eddy, has healed us and keeps us well. While Christian Science was very new to me, I at- 21 tended an experience meeting in First Church of Christ, Scientist, Chicago. A gentleman told of an unhappy woman who was about to separate from her husband. 24 This gentleman had asked her if she did not love her husband. She replied, "No; when I married him I did, but not now." He told her God made man in His 27 image and likeness, and that He is perfect. He said to her, "Go home and see only God's perfect man; you don't need to love a sinful mortal such as you have been 30 looking upon." The lady followed his advice, as he told her there is no separation in divine Mind. In a short time peace and harmony were in her home, and 1 both husband and wife became members of a Christian Science church. 3 This testimony was like a message from heaven to me. I had received many benefits from the study of Science and Health, but it had never dawned upon my darkened 6 consciousness till then how wonderful our God is. I knew what had taken place in that home could take place in my unhappy home where there was neither rest nor 9 peace. I hopefully took up my cross, and step by step my burden grew lighter, as I journeyed along, realizing the 12 presence of the Christ, Truth, that indeed makes us free. Not all at once did any outward change appear, but at the end of three years all was peace, all the 15 members of the family attending church together and realizing that there is but one Mind. — E.

1883 | 660 | S&H 18 | 0 | suicide temptation healed | Show all | 18 KIDNEY DISEASE AND EYE TROUBLE HEALED Early in 1904 I was teaching in a private boarding- school. I was a very unhappy, discontented woman; I 21 had kidney disease, besides sore eyes, and my general health was very bad. The doctor said that the climate did not suit me, and that I certainly should have a change. 24 The best thing, he said, was to go back to France (my own country); but I did not like to leave the school, so I struggled on until July, when we went travelling for a 27 month, but I came home worse than ever. I had a lot of worry, one disappointment after another, and I often thought that life was not worth living. In September, 30 1904, we heard for the first time of Christian Science 1 through a girl who was attending our boarding-school, and who was healed through Christian Science treatment. 3 We bought the textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mrs. Eddy, and what a revelation it was and is to us; it is indeed the fountain of Truth. I 6 had read Science and Health but a very short time when I took off my glasses, began to sleep well, and soon found myself well in mind and body. Besides this, it has brought 9 harmony into our school, where there had been discord, and everything is changed for the better. I cannot de- scribe the happiness that has come to me through Chris- 12 tian Science; I can only exclaim with the psalmist: "Bless the Lord, O my soul;" and may God bless Mrs. Eddy. My one aim now is to live Christian Science, not in words 15 only, but in deeds; loving God more and my neighbor as myself, and following meekly and obediently all our Leader's teachings. Words cannot express my gratitude 18 to Mrs. Eddy for Christian Science. — S. A. K., Van- couver, B. C. |

1884 | 624 | S&H 18 | 0 | sunken chest healed | Show all | A PROFITABLE STUDY 18 It may help others to know that some one was really healed of severe illness through Christian Science. It is over nine years since we first became interested in 21 the Science, and it would be hard to find a healthier person than I am now. I can go all day, from morn- ing till night, upheld by the thought that "they that 24 wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength." I can truly say that I scarcely know what physical weari- ness is any more. Before I came into Science the 27 physicians said that one lung was gone, and that the other was affected with tuberculosis; so, from their standpoint, there was little left for me to hope for. We 30 had tried every remedy that they had suggested. I had 1 gone to the mountains, but could not stay there on account of the altitude; and when they did not know what else 3 to do, they said we would better go to England — that the ocean air would be beneficial. So we spent three months in the British Isles, and when I came back I 6 seemed much better, but this only lasted a short time. In little more than a month I was worse than ever, and my mother was told that I had but a few weeks, or at 9 most months, to live. At that time, a lady, a stranger to us, suggested that we try Christian Science. There was no prejudice against 12 it, as we did not even know what it was. We knew of no Scientists in the Western town where we were living, and when we were told that we could send to Kansas City 15 for absent treatment, we thought it was absurd. We were then told that many people had been healed through the reading of the Christian Science textbook, Science and 18 Health, and to us this seemed a little worse than the absent treatment, but as we had tried everything we had heard of up to that time, my mother sent for the 21 book. It came in the middle of October and we began to read it together. It seemed to me from the first that it was 24 something I had always believed, but did not know how to express — it seemed such a natural thing. My im- provement was very gradual, but I felt I was recovering. 27 After the Christmas holidays I started in at school and went the whole term without missing a day, — some- thing I had never done before. I finished my school 30 course without missing a day — in fact, I have not spent a day in bed since that time. I feel absolutely certain that I have two sound, healthy lungs now. The hollows 1 in my chest have filled out, and I breathe perfectly on both sides; rarely have a cold to meet, and have not a sign of 3 a cough. People sometimes say, "Oh, well, maybe you never had consumption." Well, I had all the symptoms, and they 6 are every one gone through the reading of Science and Health. — E. L. B., Chicago, Ill. |

1886 | 236 | Rawson | 0 | Supply | Show all | It is essential, if a person is in financial difficulties, to stop the thought getting into the mind. You can do this by, so to speak, nipping the sentence in the bud before it is completed. Supposing, for instance, that you are going to say : “ I shall not be able to pay that bill,” before you get further than “ I shall,” stop the sentence with the denial: “ It is a lie, there is no want,” or some such denial. Then dwell upon the affirmation. If you will only do this every time a thought of limited supply comes into your mind, you will soon be out of your difficulty. Every time you reverse the thought in this way, you arc permanently better off and permanently nearer to the time when you are out of your trouble. It is of vital importance to stop thoughts getting into the • mind in every ease where, as in the case of supply, the wrong thoughts keep coming into the mind time after time. There is no want, God is the source of all supply, and man has instantly everything he needs, for man is spiritual, governed and supplied by God. Man has no material desires, for man is spiritual, and all his desires are spiritual and are instantly fulfilled. Man has abundance; there are infinite ideas available to man instantly ; a constant succession of perfect ideas comes to man, idea- after idea, and man re-presents these ideas; the ideas unfold with unfailing regularity, for God is the Principle of all law and order, and man is governed by law and by order. There is no mortal mind to stop this perfect action, for there is only one Mind, God ; God is the only power and the only ruler; God is infinite, and all His ideas arc infinite and omnipresent, and man is the consciousness of God, and cannot be separated from any idea of God, but is instantly in touch with any necessary idea, as man ’has the Christ capacity to know any idea he needs. “ Tbe blessing of the Lord, it makseth rich, and he addeib no sorrow with it" (Prov. 10:22). There arc no difficulties, for all is spiritual, there is only God and God’s man, governed only by God, “ God, who give tb ns richly all things to enjoy ” (i Tim. 6 : 17). AU God’s ideas arc in the right place, available to man, and ministering to man, meeting his needs and benefiting him. There is no ignorance, man knows instantly how to obtain everything he needs. “ My God shall supply all your weed according to his riches in glory ’* (Phil. 4:19). “0/ his fulness have all we received, and grace for grace ” (John 1 : 16). There is no anxiety, all is peace, rest and harmony ; no worry, only absolute peace, absolute rdst, absolute harmony, for man is divine, governed by God, and absolutely joyous. There is no depression, all is joy ; “ The sons of God shouted for joy ” (Job 38 : 7). “ In thy presence is fulness of joy" (Ps. 16: 1 x). Man is absolutely joyous; “in whom . . . ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory ” (1 Peter 1:8). |

I was suddenly left alone, with many troubles and trials, and I took up the study of the Bible. I 24 was trying to understand it, prior to joining some church, as it seemed to me this would be expected. I had attended all sorts of churches from my childhood 27 up, but never could find any that met my need. As time passed on, my condition became very alarming. Sciatic rheumatism, that had troubled me for some 30 years, became so severe I could scarcely do anything. 1 Then there appeared some complications, so distressing that I was unable to walk far, and had to sit down fre- 3 quently by the way. I thought I had Bright's disease, — such excruciating pains, no tongue could tell my suffer- ings. With all these things upon me, death seemed very 6 near. I had never joined any church, and I thought it now too late, as I would have to wait six months on pro- bation, and I would be dead before that. 9 About this time I made some inquiries of my sister in reference to Christian Science, as she had already turned to that faith, and I soon found that it was just what I had 12 been looking for. I saw at once that it declared the truth and nothing but the truth. I commenced reading Science and Health, also the New Testament. I wanted to find 15 out what Jesus said, as I did not expect then to live long. I did not go to the meetings, nor did I read Science and Health to be cured, — not thinking of that, — but to be 18 saved from an everlasting hell hereafter. My sister urged me to have a practitioner, but I kept on reading, and praying to God in silence, and what happened? Where 21 had the diseases gone? I persisted in reading Science and Health, together with the Bible, with the knowl- edge that God as revealed by Christ Jesus can do 24 everything, that He made everything that was made, that He can and does heal the afflicted. He has healed me, thanks to His most holy name. — G. J. H., Charles- 27 ton, Ill. |

1897 | 684 | S&H 18 | 0 | talking less | Show all | A CONVINCING TESTIMONY 18 I became interested in Christian Science some five years ago, the practical nature of its statements appeal- ing to me, and I must say, at the outset, that with my 21 little experience I have found it all and more than I ever dreamt of realizing on this plane of existence. I am satisfied that I have found Truth. God is indeed to me 24 an ever-present help. My little girl, some ten months old, was afflicted with constipation. It was so severe I dreaded to go 27 out anywhere with her, as I knew not when she would be taken with a convulsion. I had tried all the usual remedies in such cases, but it seemed to grow more ob- 30 stinate. There was a Christian Scientist living in 1 the same house with us, a Scientist who let her light shine, and while she said little, I felt the reflection of 3 Love. I had no knowledge of the teachings of Chris- tian Science, save that God was the physician at all times. In my own way I believed He was all-power- 6 ful, and I said to my husband one day, "I am through with medicine for baby. I am just going to leave her in God's care and see what He will do. I have done 9 all I can." I did as I said, laid my burden at God's feet, and did not pick it up again. In two days the child was perfectly natural, and has since been free 12 from the trouble. She is now six years of age. Some months later a second test came. She woke up at nine o'clock at night crying and holding her ear. There 15 was to sense a gathering. I was alone. I took up my Science and Health and Bible, but the more I worked the louder she screamed. Error kept suggesting ma- 18 terial remedies, but I said firmly: "No; I shall not go back to error. God will help me." Just then I thought of my own fear, how excessive it was, and a conversation 21 I had with the Scientist who first voiced the truth to me, came to mind. She said she always found it helpful to treat herself and cast out her own fear before treat- 24 ing a patient. I put baby down and again took up my Science and Health, and these were the words I read: — 27 "Every trial of our faith in God makes us stronger. The more difficult seems the material condition to be overcome by Spirit, the stronger should be our faith 30 and the purer our love. The Apostle John says: 'There is no fear in Love, but perfect Love casteth out fear' " (Science and Health, p. 410). I looked up, the crying 1 had ceased, the child was smiling, and in a few minutes asked to be put to bed. There has been no further 3 trouble of that kind. I have since seen the power of Truth overcome error of many forms, including croup, whooping-cough, ton- 6 silitis, etc. I am thankful for all these proofs, but far more grateful am I for the spiritual teaching to love, to forgive, to curb my tongue, and cease my criticism. 9 — M.

After a 12 patient and persistent effort of three months' duration, to procure a copy of Science and Health (during which time I had visited every bookstore, and many of the second- 15 hand bookstores in the city of St. Paul), and had failed to find it, I at last remembered that the stranger who told me I might be healed, had mentioned a name, and 18 McVicker's Theatre Building in Chicago as being in some way connected with the work. I sent there for information regarding a book called Health and Science, 21 and the return mail brought me the book, Science and Health, and in it I at once found sure promise of deliver- ance from valvular heart disease, with all the accompani- 24 ments, such as extreme nervousness, weakness, dyspepsia, and insomnia. I had suffered from these all my life, finding no permanent relief, even, in material remedies, 27 and no hope of cure at any time. Only those who have been held in such bondage and have been liberated by the same means, can know the eager joy of the first perusal 30 of that wonderful book. 1 Half a day's reading convinced me that I had found the way to holiness and health. I read on, thinking only 3 of the spiritual enlightenment, content to wait until I should be led to some person who would heal me; but old things had passed away, and all things had become 6 new. I was completely healed before I had met a Scien- tist, or one who knew anything about Christian Science, and before I had read a line of any other Christian Science 9 literature except one leaf of a tract; so it is absolutely certain that the healing was entirely impersonal, as was also the teaching, which enabled me to begin at once 12 demonstrating the power of Truth to destroy all forms of error. — E. J. W., North Yakima, Wash. |

The periodicals so wisely established by our 21 Leader give us one means of showing forth the praises of Truth. From the darkness of physical pain and weariness into 24 the light of wholeness and joyousness in work and living, — from the darkness of a clouded sight into the light of clearer vision, — from the darkness of doubt 27 and discord into the marvellous light of the reality of good, — this is what a reading of the Christian Science textbook has done for me. 30 At the time the book was lent to me, I was teach- 1 ing in the public schools of Chicago, and absences from my work on account of illness were of frequent occurrence. 3 For five weeks I had been under the care of a specialist for an organic trouble, and he said I would have to come as many more months before a cure could be effected. 6 At this time, Science and Health was brought to my notice. I never thought of such a thing as being healed by the reading of the book, but my thought was so changed 9 that I was healed, not only of the organic trouble, but of blurred eyesight, fatigue, and a train of other discordant manifestations. I did not go back to the physician 12 until four months later to pay my bill (which, by the way, was more than five times the price of the Science and Health I had purchased). From the time I read 15 the book I taught steadily without losing time from my work. I was helped, too, with my work in many other ways. 18 Through reading the textbook I learned that God has given us strength to do all we have to do, and that it is the things we do not have to do (the envying, strife, emu- 21 lating, vainglorying, and so on) that leave in their wake fatigue and discord. Gratitude to our beloved Leader, Mrs. Eddy, and 24 to her faithful students, with whom I afterwards be- came associated, can be expressed only by daily efforts to put into practice what has been taught. — T. H. A., 27 Madison, Wis. |

1901 | 241 | Rawson | 0 | Teaching Truth | Show all | When presenting Truth to anyone, one should always treat, so that a better concept is formed of God’s ideas. Man is always helping his fellow-man, passing on his ideas of Truth, for God is Truth and nothing exists except Truth and the ideas of Truth. Man loves to receive these ideas and understands and rejoices in every idea of Truth. There is no malice against Truth, man loves Truth and rejoices in Truth, for God is Truth and there is nothing but Truth, nothing but God. |

Some of the best physicians in Boston 6 had pronounced his case incurable, saying that if he lived he would always be an invalid and a cripple. One of the diseases was gastric catarrh. He was allowed 9 to eat but very few things, and even after taking every precaution, he suffered to the extent that he would lie in spasms for half a day. He also had rickets; physi- 12 cians saying that there was not a natural bone in his body. It was while he was in what seemed to be his greatest 15 agony, and when I was in the darkest despair, that I first heard of Christian Science. The bearer of the joyful tidings could only tell me to come and hear of the wonder- 18 ful things that Christian Science was doing. I accepted the invitation, for I was willing to try anything to save my child, and the following Friday evening I attended 21 my first meeting, which was in The Mother Church of Christ, Scientist. Long before the service began every seat was filled, which was amazing to me, being an ordi- 24 nary weekly meeting, and that night I realized from the testimonies given that Christian Science was the religion for which I had been searching for years. The next 27 day I went to find a practitioner, but was unable to get the one who had been recommended, he being too busy. On my way home I thought of some of the testimonies 30 which I had heard the night before, — of people being 1 healed by simply reading Science and Health. I resolved at once to borrow a copy, and not dreaming of the 3 sacrifice that my friend would make by conferring such a favor, I went and asked her for a loan of Science and Health. I never saw any one part so reluctantly 6 with a book as my friend did with her copy of the textbook. I read it silently and audibly, day and night, in my 9 home, and although I could not seem to understand it, yet the healing commenced to take place at once. The little mouth which had been twisted by spasms 12 grew natural and the child was soon able to be up, playing and romping about the house as any child should. About this time we decided to move to the 15 far West. I was young in Science at the time, and my husband greatly feared that the journey would cause a relapse 18 for the child, but instead, he continued to improve. I constantly read the Bible, Science and Health, and Mis- cellaneous Writings, the two weeks we traveled, and we 21 were the only ones in our car who, throughout the journey, did not get train sick. The child's limbs grew perfectly straight, he ate anything he wanted, and for years he has 24 been a natural, healthy child in every way. He has passed through some of the worst forms of contagion untouched and unharmed. 27 I had been reading Science and Health several months, before I gave any thought to myself and my numerous complaints. I had never been very strong, and some of 30 my ailments were supposed to be hereditary and chronic, hence I dragged through many tedious years with a belief in medical laws and hereditary laws resting upon me. 1 Just before I commenced reading Science and Health I spent a half day in having my eyes examined by one 3 of the leading oculists in Boston. His verdict was that my eyes were in a dreadful condition, and that I would always need to wear glasses. In the meantime I com- 6 menced to read Science and Health, and when I thought of my eyes, I had no need for glasses. The years that I have been in Science I have used my eyes incessantly, 9 night as well as day, doing all kinds of trying work and without requiring the aid of glasses. I was healed of all my complaints whilst seeking the truth for my child, 12 and many of them have never returned. Those that appeared simply came to the surface to be destroyed. Teeth have been restored and facial blemishes re- 15 moved, unconsciously, simply by reading Science and Health. All of this is, however, nothing to compare with the spiritual uplifting which I have received, and 18 I have everything to be thankful for. — M. T. W., Los Angeles, Cal. |

There is no material man, man is God’s consciousness, always thinking rightly. God alone acts and is infinite good. There is no want of concentration, God’s ideas unfold to man in perfect sequence and are passed on in perfect sequence and man is always working properly, always doing what is right. |

I thought I was a pretty good fellow. I had no religious views. I seemed to be getting along as well as, if not better than, some who professed Christianity. So I drifted along until I was led to investigate Christian Science. As I progressed in the understanding as gained from the study of both Science and Health and the Bible, and commenced to know myself, I found that a great change had been wrought in me. For fifteen years I had used tobacco, both chewing and smoking; for ten years I had been a victim of the drink habit, sometimes to excess; I was also addicted to profanity. Christian Science removed these appetites. A stomach trouble and other lesser ills, such as headache, a bad temper, an inordinate love of money, etc., disappeared under the same benign influence. Those things that seemed to be pleasure do not give me pleasure now. They were not real pleasure. I have lost nothing, I have sacrificed nothing; but I have gained everything, and not yet the whole, for I can see plenty yet to be done.

1923 | 670 | S&H 18 | 0 | temper healed | Show all | MORALLY AND PHYSICALLY HEALED 21 I did not accept Christian Science on account of any healing of my own, but after seeing my mother, who was fast drifting toward helplessness with rheumatism, restored 24 to perfect health with only a few treatments in Christian Science, I thought surely this must be the truth as Jesus taught and practised it, and if so it was what I had been 27 longing for. This was about ten years ago and was the first I had ever heard of Christian Science. We soon got a copy 30 of Science and Health and I began in the right way to 1 see if Christian Science were the truth. I had no thought of studying it for bodily healing; in fact, I did not think 3 I needed it for that, but my soul cried out for something I had not yet found. This book was indeed a key to the Scriptures. 6 It was not long after I began reading before I dis- covered that my eyes were good and strong, I could read as much as I wished, and at any time, which was 9 something I could not do before, as my eyes had always been weak. The doctors said they never would be very strong, and that if I did not wear glasses, I might lose 12 my sight altogether. I never gave up to wearing glasses, and now, thanks to Christian Science, I do not need them, my work for the past two years as a railway mail clerk 15 being a good test. At the same time my eyes were healed, I also noticed that I was entirely healed of another ail- ment which had been with me all my life, and which was 18 believed to be inherited. Since that time my growth has seemed to me slow, yet when I look back and view myself as I was before Christian Science found me, and 21 compare it with my life as it now is, I can only close my eyes to the picture and rejoice that I have been "born again" and that I have daily been putting off "the 24 old man with his deeds," and putting on "the new man." Some of the many things that have been overcome 27 through the study of Science and Health, and through realizing and practising the truth it teaches, are pro- fanity, the use of tobacco, a very quick temper, which 30 made both myself and those around me at times very miserable, and such thoughts as malice, revenge, etc. — O.

What surprised me most, however, was this; I 30 had had one finger thrown out of place some fifteen years 1 before. It was crooked, but it became straight and use- ful. A bone in my foot had also been broken, leaving 3 a bunch, which disappeared after I studied Christian Science and received class instruction. I am an entirely well man and for this I am very grateful. I am also 6 glad that I have learned enough of Truth and Love to be able to heal others.

There is no hypnotism, God is the only power and the only ruler. No man can have any power over another man, the only power is that of God, and this power is only for good.

Simon Peter, Thomas (called the Twin), Nathanael (also known as Bartholomew) from Cana in Galilee, the sons of Zebedee (James and John) and two other disciples were together, when Simon Peter said, "I'm going fishing." "All right," they replied, "we'll go with you." So they went out and got into the boat and during the night caught nothing at all.

About six and a half 18 years ago, however, having exhausted all material means at my command, — materia medica, electricity, gym- nastics, cycling, and so on, — and being in a hopeless 21 state, the study of Christian Science was taken up. I had been a sufferer from catarrh and sore throat for over thirty years, and in the last five were added several others, 24 including dyspepsia, and bronchitis, and a loss in flesh of sixty pounds. I was completely healed, and regained health, strength, and flesh through the spiritual under- 27 standing of Christian Science, the result of about six weeks' study. This good and perfect gift came to me through the careful and prayerful study of Christian 30 Science, as revealed to the world to-day through Science 1 and Health. The promise of Christ Jesus, "the truth shall make you free," was fulfilled, and the past six years 3 of health and harmony have been spent in striving to "hold fast that which is good." While most grateful for the physical healing, my grati- 6 tude for the mental and spiritual regeneration is beyond expression. When I learned that Jesus' mission of heal- ing sickness as well as sin did not end with his short stay 9 upon earth, but is practical in all ages, my joy was un- bounded. Having spent thousands in the old way, it seemed wonderful to be healed at such small cost as the 12 price of the "little book" and a few weeks' study. Every thought of prejudice immediately vanished before the proofs that Christian Science is indeed the elucidation 15 and practical application of Jesus' teachings, which are demonstrable truth, "The same yesterday, and to-day, and forever." — C.

I had suffered for seven years previous with a very painful back, the result of an operation. I could 1 get no rest or sleep at night, as I could not lie down, but had to sit propped in a chair with pillows around me. 3 Only those who have suffered as I did can know the full misery of it. I had come to the end of material means and never hoped to get well. One day, however, while 6 out walking, it was my good fortune to come to a Christian Scientist's house, and there the teaching was explained to me. I was advised to buy Science and Health, which 9 I did, and the study of this book has healed my back en- tirely. Christian Science has also cured me of long- standing catarrh of the throat, and neuralgia with which 12 I had been afflicted from childhood. Before coming into Science I had doctored with three of the best physicians in Seattle, but none could give me relief. 15 I am no longer a sufferer, but rejoice exceedingly in Christian Science. God's promise has been fulfilled to me, "But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of 18 righteousness arise with healing in his wings." — E. O., Georgetown, Wash. |

1950 | 658 | S&H 18 | 0 | throat healed | Show all | A TESTIMONY FROM IRELAND It is with a heart full of love and gratitude to God, 18 and to our dear Leader, that I send this testimony to the Field. I had never been a strong girl; had always been subject to colds and chills, and suffered all my 21 life from a delicate throat. Seven years ago I had a very severe attack of rheumatic fever and subsequently two less severe ones. These left all sorts of evils be- 24 hind them, — debility, chronic constipation, and several others, so that with these ills my life was often a burden to me and I used to think I never should re- 27 ceive relief or health. I had also lost all love for God and faith in Him. I could not accept a God who, as I then believed, visited sickness and sorrow upon 30 His children as a means for drawing them to Him. 1 I was in this state of mind and body when Christian Science found me. A dear friend, seeing my suffering, 3 presented the truth to me, and though at first I did not believe that there could be healing for me, the Chris- tian Scientists' God seemed to be the one I had been 6 looking for all my life. I began to read Science and Health, and shall never forget my joy at finding that I could love and trust God. I took to studying the 9 Bible, and read nothing but Science and Health and other Christian Science literature for a year. After studying the "little book" for about six weeks, I one 12 day realized that I was a well woman, that I had taken no medicine for three weeks, and that my body was perfectly harmonious. The reading of Science and 15 Health had healed me. The wonderful joy and spirit- ual uplifting which came to me then no words of mine can describe. I had also suffered from astigmatism 18 and had for several years been obliged to use special glasses when reading or working, and could never use my eyes for more than half an hour; but from the first 21 reading of Science and Health I found that I could read in any light and for any length of time without the slight- est discomfort. I am not only grateful for the physi- 24 cal healing but for the mental regeneration. I rejoice that I am now able to help others who are sick and sor- rowing. — E. E.

1951 | 696 | S&H 18 | 0 | throat healed | Show all | FIBROID TUMOR DESTROYED When quite young I was impressed that the Bible 15 was not properly interpreted by the preachers, for I could not conceive of a God of wrath who was unjust enough to allow His little ones to suffer pain, misery, and 18 death. I had hope, however, that some day the truth would be revealed to an awakening world, but little did I dream that even then there was one of God's noble 21 women who reflected sufficient purity and holiness to entertain the "angel of his presence," and commune with the true God. 24 I was believed to be predisposed to scrofula, so that I was not a strong or attractive child, and my girlhood and womanhood were scarcely ever free from dread of 27 the laws of matter and lack of strength. The climax was reached when a physician informed me, after weeks of treatment, that I had a fibroid tumor, which required 30 an operation. The conditions were most trying and I 1 was heartsick and discouraged when, in January, 1893, I heard of Christian Science through a letter from a dear 3 sister who had been greatly benefited thereby, and I re- solved to go at once to a practitioner, for I believed it to be the long-lost truth that would make me free. It 6 meant a great effort and sacrifice for me to go to Chicago at that time, but divine Love opened the way and I reached there in March. I had been in my sister's home but 9 a few days, reading Science and Health almost con- stantly, when I asked her if I had not better have treatment for the tumor, which had given me so much 12 trouble. She said to me, "You feel well, do you not?" I assured her that I never had felt so well as I had since reaching there. "Well," she said with decision, "your 15 tumor is gone, for God never made it," and her statements were true, for it has never been heard of from that day. Since then I have been healed of chronic sore throat, 18 hay fever, and other troubles, and I know that Christian Science is the truth. — B. W. S., Coldwater, Mich. |

1952 | 653 | S&H 18 | 0 | throat sore healed | Show all | GRATEFUL FOR MANY BLESSINGS 9 In 1894 I began the study of Christian Science. At that time I was greatly in need of its healing truth. For a number of years previous I had been a semi- 12 invalid with no hope of ever being well and strong again. Several years before this time I had undergone an operation which resulted in peritonitis. For three 15 years previous to my study of Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy, I was scarcely ever free from headache caused by the weakened and diseased condition of the 18 internal organs. At the time I began the study of Christian Science I was taking five kinds of medicine. I began to read Science and Health, and did not 21 take treatment, for I thought, "If this is truth, I shall be healed; if it is not, I shall be able to detect it, and will have nothing to do with it." I became a 24 devoted student and gradually my bodily diseases left me, — I was free, and since that time, nearly ten years ago, neither my two children nor myself have 27 taken any medicine; and our understanding of truth has been able to meet and overcome any suggestion of illness. 30 I was a devoted member of an orthodox church, 1 but as I grew older I began to question my beliefs, and to my questions I could find no satisfactory an- 3 swer. I became dissatisfied and finally ceased attend- ing church. I could not accept the idea of God taught there, and at last my friends looked sadly upon me as 6 an atheist. There I stood until I learned to know God as revealed in Science and Health, and then all my questionings were answered. In my girlhood I had 9 always prayed to the God I held in mind, and when the shadows of sickness, pain, and death came to my family, I prayed as only those can who know that if 12 He helps not, there is none; but my prayers were unanswered. Then I closed my Bible, saying, "There is a mistake somewhere, perhaps some time I may 15 know." Only those who know the attitude of mind that I was in can understand the joy that came to me as I 18 began to learn of God in Christian Science, and of my relation to Him. Many proofs of the healing power of Truth and of 21 His protecting care throng my thoughts. Seven years ago, when we were in a far distant country, where Christian Science was then unknown, my little daughter 24 came in one morning from her school, saying, "Mother, I have measles; twenty of the girls are sick in bed and I am afraid they will put me there also." Her face, hands, 27 and chest were covered with a deep red rash, throat sore, and eyes inflamed. We began immediately to do our work in Science and at night, when I left her at the door of the 30 college, her face was clear, her eyes bright, and all fear destroyed. That was the end of the disease. — F. M. P., Boston, Mass. |

I thought I was a pretty good fellow. I had no religious views. I seemed to be getting along as well as, if not better than, some who professed Christianity. So I drifted along until I was led to investigate Christian Science. As I progressed in the understanding as gained from the study of both Science and Health and the Bible, and commenced to know myself, I found that a great change had been wrought in me. For fifteen years I had used tobacco, both chewing and smoking; for ten years I had been a victim of the drink habit, sometimes to excess; I was also addicted to profanity. Christian Science removed these appetites. A stomach trouble and other lesser ills, such as headache, a bad temper, an inordinate love of money, etc., disappeared under the same benign influence. Those things that seemed to be pleasure do not give me pleasure now. They were not real pleasure. I have lost nothing, I have sacrificed nothing; but I have gained everything, and not yet the whole, for I can see plenty yet to be done.

1964 | 676 | S&H 18 | 0 | tobacco habit healed | Show all | A NEW LIFE GAINED 12 Leaving home when a young man, I carried with me a protection against the temptation of a great city, — a mother's prayers and a small Bible. For a time I read 15 the Bible and prayed, but without understanding. This did not suffice, and evil seemed to gain the victory. I soon omitted to read my Bible; forgot to go to God in 18 prayer for guidance and help, and looked to the world for that which it never has and never can give, — health, peace, and joy. 21 Thus, years later, when Christian Science came into my home, it found me prayerless, churchless, godless; a home discordant, and with no thought or knowledge 24 of spiritual things. Up to this time, my wife had for years been seeking health through the physicians, but without success, and as a last resort had been 27 sent to Christian Science. The help received was so wonderful that I commenced the study of Science and Health. The first effect which I realized from the 30 reading of our textbook, was a great love for the Bible and a desire to read it, something which I had not done 1 for years. I went in silent prayer to God, that I might see the light and truth which would enable me to be- 3 come a better man. "Ye must be born again." Thus again, and as a child, was I taught to pray "the effectual fervent prayer" which "availeth much." In a few 6 weeks' study of Science and Health together with the Bible, and without other help, I was healed of a desire for liquor, of years' standing, and of the use of tobacco. 9 Ten years have passed and these appetites have never returned. I have never used either liquor or tobacco in any form from that time to the present. Surely this 12 Scripture is fulfilled in our home: "Old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new." How can we estimate the value of a book, the study of which brings 15 such transformation and regeneration? Only as we endeavor to live, and strive to practise what it teaches, can we begin to pay our debt to God, and to her whom 18 He has sent to make plain to human understanding the life and teaching of Christ Jesus. — W.

What surprised me most, however, was this; I 30 had had one finger thrown out of place some fifteen years 1 before. It was crooked, but it became straight and use- ful. A bone in my foot had also been broken, leaving 3 a bunch, which disappeared after I studied Christian Science and received class instruction. I am an entirely well man and for this I am very grateful. I am also 6 glad that I have learned enough of Truth and Love to be able to heal others.

I had what the doctors 21 diagnosed as muscular rheumatism, dropsy, and con- stipation of thirty years' standing. A dear friend whom I had known as an invalid had been healed by Christian 24 Science and advised me to read Science and Health. I did so, having a desire to know the truth. One of my troubles was that I could not sleep. I began reading the 27 Bible and the Christian Science textbook, and troubles of every kind disappeared before I had read Science and Health through. The thought came, What about the 30 old remedies? but truth prevailed, and I took all the 1 material remedies I had and threw them away. That was seven years ago, and I have not had any use for them 3 since. My husband was healed of the tobacco habit of fifty years' standing, also of kidney trouble, by read- ing Science and Health. I have not words to express 6 the gratitude I feel to-day for the many blessings that have come to our home. — Mrs. M. K. O., Seattle, Wash. |

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.

1969 | 670 | S&H 18 | 0 | tobacco usage healed | Show all | MORALLY AND PHYSICALLY HEALED 21 I did not accept Christian Science on account of any healing of my own, but after seeing my mother, who was fast drifting toward helplessness with rheumatism, restored 24 to perfect health with only a few treatments in Christian Science, I thought surely this must be the truth as Jesus taught and practised it, and if so it was what I had been 27 longing for. This was about ten years ago and was the first I had ever heard of Christian Science. We soon got a copy 30 of Science and Health and I began in the right way to 1 see if Christian Science were the truth. I had no thought of studying it for bodily healing; in fact, I did not think 3 I needed it for that, but my soul cried out for something I had not yet found. This book was indeed a key to the Scriptures. 6 It was not long after I began reading before I dis- covered that my eyes were good and strong, I could read as much as I wished, and at any time, which was 9 something I could not do before, as my eyes had always been weak. The doctors said they never would be very strong, and that if I did not wear glasses, I might lose 12 my sight altogether. I never gave up to wearing glasses, and now, thanks to Christian Science, I do not need them, my work for the past two years as a railway mail clerk 15 being a good test. At the same time my eyes were healed, I also noticed that I was entirely healed of another ail- ment which had been with me all my life, and which was 18 believed to be inherited. Since that time my growth has seemed to me slow, yet when I look back and view myself as I was before Christian Science found me, and 21 compare it with my life as it now is, I can only close my eyes to the picture and rejoice that I have been "born again" and that I have daily been putting off "the 24 old man with his deeds," and putting on "the new man." Some of the many things that have been overcome 27 through the study of Science and Health, and through realizing and practising the truth it teaches, are pro- fanity, the use of tobacco, a very quick temper, which 30 made both myself and those around me at times very miserable, and such thoughts as malice, revenge, etc. — O.

For these I had been treated by some of the best specialists in my native land, and after coming to the United States I had been doctored 6 much and had worn glasses for four years. I also had catarrh, for which I had taken much medicine without being relieved. In addition to this I was an excessive 9 smoker, using tobacco in some form almost constantly. I had contracted a smoker's heart, and used liquors freely. 12 The one who brought to me that which I now prize so highly, was a book agent. I told him that I should be forced to leave my trade on account of my eyes. 15 He then told me of having been healed of a cancer, through Christian Science treatment. He showed me a copy of Science and Health, which had the signs of 18 much use, and after being assured that if I did my part I would be healed of all my diseases, I sent for a copy of the book. 21 My recovery was very rapid, for after reading the book only three weeks I was completely healed of the tobacco habit. I will say, in regard to this healing, 24 that it did not require even as much as a resolution on my part. I was smoking a cigar, while reading Science and Health, when all the desire to continue 27 smoking left me, and I have never had a desire to use tobacco in any form since then. My eyes were the next to manifest the influence of the new knowledge 30 gained, and had soon so far recovered that I could go about my work with ease, and I have had no more use for glasses. To-day my heart is normal, the catarrh 1 has totally disappeared, and I am not addicted to the use of liquor. 3 Christian Science has proved to be an ever-present help, not only in overcoming physical ailments, but in business and daily life. It has also overcome a great 6 sense of fear. The Bible, which I regarded with suspicion, has become my guide, and Christianity has become a sweet reality, because the Christian Science 9 textbook has indeed been a "Key to the Scriptures" and has breathed through the Gospel pages a sweet sense of harmony. — A.

Catarrh has disappeared; tonsilitis, which very frequently laid me aside from duties in the schoolroom and home, 27 is no longer manifest. When temptation comes (for Christian Science is both preventive and curative), I turn to that wonderful book, Science and Health, and my 30 precious Bible, grown dearer since read in the new light 1 of spiritual understanding, until I know that my mind is renewed, because the action is changed and the inflam- 3 mation has abated.

I am satisfied that I have found Truth. God is indeed to me 24 an ever-present help. My little girl, some ten months old, was afflicted with constipation. It was so severe I dreaded to go 27 out anywhere with her, as I knew not when she would be taken with a convulsion. I had tried all the usual remedies in such cases, but it seemed to grow more ob- 30 stinate. There was a Christian Scientist living in 1 the same house with us, a Scientist who let her light shine, and while she said little, I felt the reflection of 3 Love. I had no knowledge of the teachings of Chris- tian Science, save that God was the physician at all times. In my own way I believed He was all-power- 6 ful, and I said to my husband one day, "I am through with medicine for baby. I am just going to leave her in God's care and see what He will do. I have done 9 all I can." I did as I said, laid my burden at God's feet, and did not pick it up again. In two days the child was perfectly natural, and has since been free 12 from the trouble. She is now six years of age. Some months later a second test came. She woke up at nine o'clock at night crying and holding her ear. There 15 was to sense a gathering. I was alone. I took up my Science and Health and Bible, but the more I worked the louder she screamed. Error kept suggesting ma- 18 terial remedies, but I said firmly: "No; I shall not go back to error. God will help me." Just then I thought of my own fear, how excessive it was, and a conversation 21 I had with the Scientist who first voiced the truth to me, came to mind. She said she always found it helpful to treat herself and cast out her own fear before treat- 24 ing a patient. I put baby down and again took up my Science and Health, and these were the words I read: — 27 "Every trial of our faith in God makes us stronger. The more difficult seems the material condition to be overcome by Spirit, the stronger should be our faith 30 and the purer our love. The Apostle John says: 'There is no fear in Love, but perfect Love casteth out fear' " (Science and Health, p. 410). I looked up, the crying 1 had ceased, the child was smiling, and in a few minutes asked to be put to bed. There has been no further 3 trouble of that kind. I have since seen the power of Truth overcome error of many forms, including croup, whooping-cough, ton- 6 silitis, etc. I am thankful for all these proofs, but far more grateful am I for the spiritual teaching to love, to forgive, to curb my tongue, and cease my criticism. 9 — M.

While visiting friends in the southwestern part of On- 18 tario, about three years ago, my attention was called to Christian Science and the wonderful healing it was doing. I had lived in New York for twenty-five years, 21 but had never heard of Christian Science before, to my recollection. Up to that time, for seventeen years, I had suffered 24 with indigestion and gastritis in the worst form, often being overcome from a seeming pressure against the heart. I had asthma for four years, also had worn glasses for 27 four years. It seemed to me that I had swallowed every known medicine to relieve my indigestion, but they only gave me temporary benefit. I purchased a copy of Sci- 30 ence and Health, and simply from the reading of that 1 grand book I was completely healed of all my physical ailments in two weeks' time. I have used no medi- 3 cine from that day to this, and with God's help, and the wonderful light revealed to me through the reading of Mrs. Eddy's book, I never expect to again. I used 6 to smoke eight or ten cigars a day, and also took an occasional drink, but the desire for these has gone, — I feel forever. I travel on the road, and am constantly 9 being invited to indulge, but it is no effort to abstain, and in many instances I find that my refusal helps others. 12 While I fully appreciate the release from my physical troubles, this pales into insignificance in comparison with the spiritual uplifting Christian Science has brought me. 15 I had not been inside a church for more than ten years, to attend regular services, until I entered a Christian Science church. What I saw and realized there, seemed 18 so genuine that I loved Christian Science from the very start. I have never taken a treatment, — every inch of the way has been through study and practical demon- 21 stration, and I know that all can do the same thing if they will try. Since I have been in Science I have overcome a case of 24 ulcerated tooth in one night through the reading of Science and Health; also a severe attack of grip in thirty-six hours by obeying the Scripture saying, "Physician, heal thy- 27 self." — B.

Up to this time, my wife had for years been seeking health through the physicians, but without success, and as a last resort had been 27 sent to Christian Science. The help received was so wonderful that I commenced the study of Science and Health. The first effect which I realized from the 30 reading of our textbook, was a great love for the Bible and a desire to read it, something which I had not done 1 for years. I went in silent prayer to God, that I might see the light and truth which would enable me to be- 3 come a better man. "Ye must be born again." Thus again, and as a child, was I taught to pray "the effectual fervent prayer" which "availeth much." In a few 6 weeks' study of Science and Health together with the Bible, and without other help, I was healed of a desire for liquor, of years' standing, and of the use of tobacco. 9 Ten years have passed and these appetites have never returned. I have never used either liquor or tobacco in any form from that time to the present. Surely this 12 Scripture is fulfilled in our home: "Old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new." How can we estimate the value of a book, the study of which brings 15 such transformation and regeneration? Only as we endeavor to live, and strive to practise what it teaches, can we begin to pay our debt to God, and to her whom 18 He has sent to make plain to human understanding the life and teaching of Christ Jesus. — W. H. P., Boston, Mass. |

1982 | 247 | Rawson | 0 | Treatment, Author’s Daily Morning and Evening | Show all | The author has often been asked to write out in full, or allow people to write out, the daily treatment that he gives himself. This would be a mistake. The object of the author is to turn people to God, from Whom alone can a knowledge of Truth be gained. In treatment, the object is not to form a wonderful idea of the world of reality, nor is it to string together a number of words which sound harmonious and appeal to the intellect. The object is to get away altogether from thinking of the material world, and to lose oneself in a glorious and wonderful concept, as uplifted as possible, of God and God’s perfect world. To do this, one must use words that appeal to oneself. As a a matter of fact no human being can harm another. Those who believe that there is such a thing as a belief in hypnotism have to work against hypnotism; those who think that there is a belief in malice against the truth, must work against this. And so the work done by each individual varies more or less according to the condition of his so-called mind. The author’s wife speaks of the author’s method of treatment as scaffold poles upon which to build one’s treatment. This is because of his class of mind which prefers few words and that they should be directly to the point, relying upon clearness of realisation for the result, the result being the getting away from all thought of the material. With a different class of mind, this result is better arrived at by a series of groupings of words dealing with the wonders of heaven. The great thing is to let God do His work and to rely upon being led, through the action of God, to treat in the way that is of most value to humanity. |

2004 | 624 | S&H 18 | 0 | tuberculosis healed | Show all | A PROFITABLE STUDY 18 It may help others to know that some one was really healed of severe illness through Christian Science. It is over nine years since we first became interested in 21 the Science, and it would be hard to find a healthier person than I am now. I can go all day, from morn- ing till night, upheld by the thought that "they that 24 wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength." I can truly say that I scarcely know what physical weari- ness is any more. Before I came into Science the 27 physicians said that one lung was gone, and that the other was affected with tuberculosis; so, from their standpoint, there was little left for me to hope for. We 30 had tried every remedy that they had suggested. I had 1 gone to the mountains, but could not stay there on account of the altitude; and when they did not know what else 3 to do, they said we would better go to England — that the ocean air would be beneficial. So we spent three months in the British Isles, and when I came back I 6 seemed much better, but this only lasted a short time. In little more than a month I was worse than ever, and my mother was told that I had but a few weeks, or at 9 most months, to live. At that time, a lady, a stranger to us, suggested that we try Christian Science. There was no prejudice against 12 it, as we did not even know what it was. We knew of no Scientists in the Western town where we were living, and when we were told that we could send to Kansas City 15 for absent treatment, we thought it was absurd. We were then told that many people had been healed through the reading of the Christian Science textbook, Science and 18 Health, and to us this seemed a little worse than the absent treatment, but as we had tried everything we had heard of up to that time, my mother sent for the 21 book. It came in the middle of October and we began to read it together. It seemed to me from the first that it was 24 something I had always believed, but did not know how to express — it seemed such a natural thing. My im- provement was very gradual, but I felt I was recovering. 27 After the Christmas holidays I started in at school and went the whole term without missing a day, — some- thing I had never done before. I finished my school 30 course without missing a day — in fact, I have not spent a day in bed since that time. I feel absolutely certain that I have two sound, healthy lungs now. The hollows 1 in my chest have filled out, and I breathe perfectly on both sides; rarely have a cold to meet, and have not a sign of 3 a cough. People sometimes say, "Oh, well, maybe you never had consumption." Well, I had all the symptoms, and they 6 are every one gone through the reading of Science and Health. — E. L. B., Chicago, Ill. |

2005 | 664 | S&H 18 | 0 | tuberculosis healed | Show all | 1 CURING BETTER THAN ENDURING For eight years I was a great sufferer from weak 3 lungs and after being treated by ten different physi- cians, in the States of Illinois, Missouri, and Colo- rado, I was told there was no hope of my recovery 6 from what they pronounced tuberculosis, which was hereditary, my father having been afflicted with it. I was greatly emaciated and hardly able to be about. 9 My general condition was aggravated by what the doc- tors said was paralysis of the bowels. Three physi- cians so diagnosed it at different times, and assured 12 my husband that I could never get more than tem- porary relief. This indeed I found difficult to obtain, in spite of my almost frantic efforts. At times I was 15 nearly insane from suffering, and after eight years of doctoring I found myself steadily growing worse. For four years I did not have a normal action of the bowels, 18 and it was only by extreme effort and by resort to pow- erful drugs or mechanical means, with resultant suffering, that any action whatever could be brought about. 21 I had heard nothing of the curative power of Chris- tian Science, and only to oblige a friend I went one night, about three years ago, to one of their mid-week 24 testimonial meetings, in Boulder, Colorado. I was much impressed by what I heard there, and determined at once to investigate this strange religion, in the hope that it 27 might have something good for me. I bought the text- book, Science and Health, and from the first I found myself growing stronger and better, both physically and 30 mentally, as I acquired a better understanding and en- deavored to put into practice what I learned. In one week 1 I was able to get along better without drugs than I had for years with them, and before three months had passed I 3 was better than I had been any time in my life, for I had always suffered more or less from bowel trouble. Since that time I have taken no medicine whatever, and 6 rely wholly upon Christian Science. My lungs are now sound, my bowels normally active, my general health excellent, and I am able to endure without fatigue 9 tasks that before would have prostrated me. The study of our textbook was the sole means of my healing. — L. M. St. C., Matachin, Canal Zone, Panama. |

2007 | 248 | Rawson | 0 | Tuberculosis of the Lungs | Show all | There is no tuberculosis, man is spiritual and perfect; man’s lungs are the reflection of God as Life, they reflect purity and substance and arc full and complete. All is purity, holiness and harmony, for all is Spirit and the manifestation of Spirit. Man’s breathing is the spon taneous activity of Life and Love, perfect and joyous, for man is the consciousness of God, and is always receiving the ideas of God, and radiating them forth to the glory of God and the joy of his fellow-man. There are no material germs, God’s ideas arc spiritual and perfect; the lesser ideas never harm man, they minister to him and benefit him, and are always in the right place, for they are governed by God, the Principle of all purity and holiness. There is no haemorrhage, man’s blood is the joy that circulates throughout consciousness; that joy is never wasted, but is always in the right place, full, complete, and perfect, carrying out the divine purpose. There is no high temperature, all is normal and harmonious ; man’s blood is never too hot, man’s blood is the joy that circulates in consciousness, spiritual, pure, holy and divine. Nothing passes from man, he re-presents God’s ideas. There is no weakness, man reflects Life and has infinite power and strength, man is “ strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might ” (Eph. 6 : io), “ strengthened with all might, according to bis glorious power ” (Col. i : n). There is no cough, all is peace, rest and harmony; man is conscious of “ tbe peace of God, which passeth all understanding ” (Phil. 4 : 7). There is no irritation, all is rest and harmony; no weakened muscles, man’s muscles are God’s thought forces, having all power and strength.. There is no wasting of the body, man’s body is spiritual and perfect; it is the body of ideas, God’s ideas, enduring and eternal; man reflects God as Spirit, substance, pure and holy substance, “ the same yesterday, and today, and for ever" (Heb. 13 : 8). “Man was not created from a material basis, nor bidden to obey material laws which Spirit never made ; bis province is in spiritual statutes, in the higher law of Mind" (S. & H. p. 307), |

2008 | 675 | S&H 18 | 0 | tuberculosis of the skin healed | Show all | MANY PHYSICAL AND MENTAL TROUBLES OVERCOME Less than a year ago, when nothing but trouble seemed 18 to encompass me, I was led to Christian Science. My mother's copy of Science and Health was always lying on the table, but I scarcely ever read it. One day, how- 21 ever, the mental conflict was so great I commenced read- ing in the hope of obtaining peace. Every day since then my companions have been the Bible and Science 24 and Health. At that time I had a very serious eruption on my face, which had been there two years. We had consulted several physicians, and used every remedy 27 suggested to eradicate it, but they proved useless. I had given up all hopes of its ever being healed, as the physician we last consulted pronounced it tuberculosis 30 of the skin and incurable. A few weeks after I com- 1 menced reading, I was amazed to see it almost healed over, and to-day my cheek is perfectly smooth, while the 3 scar is disappearing. In April my baby was born with only the practitioner and a woman friend present. I suffered little pain, and 6 the third day I went down-stairs. I am able to nurse him, — a privilege of which I was deprived with my first child. He is a picture of health, having never been 9 sick a day since he was born. — K. E. W. L., Mt. Dora, Fla. |

2009 | 696 | S&H 18 | 0 | tumor - fibroid healed | Show all | FIBROID TUMOR DESTROYED When quite young I was impressed that the Bible 15 was not properly interpreted by the preachers, for I could not conceive of a God of wrath who was unjust enough to allow His little ones to suffer pain, misery, and 18 death. I had hope, however, that some day the truth would be revealed to an awakening world, but little did I dream that even then there was one of God's noble 21 women who reflected sufficient purity and holiness to entertain the "angel of his presence," and commune with the true God. 24 I was believed to be predisposed to scrofula, so that I was not a strong or attractive child, and my girlhood and womanhood were scarcely ever free from dread of 27 the laws of matter and lack of strength. The climax was reached when a physician informed me, after weeks of treatment, that I had a fibroid tumor, which required 30 an operation. The conditions were most trying and I 1 was heartsick and discouraged when, in January, 1893, I heard of Christian Science through a letter from a dear 3 sister who had been greatly benefited thereby, and I re- solved to go at once to a practitioner, for I believed it to be the long-lost truth that would make me free. It 6 meant a great effort and sacrifice for me to go to Chicago at that time, but divine Love opened the way and I reached there in March. I had been in my sister's home but 9 a few days, reading Science and Health almost con- stantly, when I asked her if I had not better have treatment for the tumor, which had given me so much 12 trouble. She said to me, "You feel well, do you not?" I assured her that I never had felt so well as I had since reaching there. "Well," she said with decision, "your 15 tumor is gone, for God never made it," and her statements were true, for it has never been heard of from that day. Since then I have been healed of chronic sore throat, 18 hay fever, and other troubles, and I know that Christian Science is the truth. — B. W. S., Coldwater, Mich. |

2010 | 603 | S&H 18 | 0 | tumor healed | Show all | FIBROID TUMOR HEALED IN A FEW DAYS 21 My gratitude for Christian Science is boundless. I was afflicted with a fibroid tumor which weighed not less than fifty pounds, attended by a continuous hem- 24 orrhage for eleven years. The tumor was a growth of eighteen years. I lived in Fort Worth, Tex., and I had never heard 27 of Christian Science before leaving there for Chicago in the year 1887. I had tried to live near to God, and I feel sure He guided me in all my steps to this heal- 30 ing and saving truth. After being there several weeks 1 I received letters from a Texas lady who had herself been healed, and who wrote urging me to try Christian 3 Science. Changing my boarding-place, I met a lady who owned a copy of Science and Health, and in speaking to her of 6 having seen the book, she informed me she had one, and she got it and told me I could read it. The revelation was marvellous and brought a great spiritual awakening. 9 This awakened sense never left me, and one day when walking alone it came to me very suddenly that I was healed, and I walked the faster declaring every step that 12 I was healed. When I reached my boarding-place, I found my hostess and told her I was healed. She looked the picture of amazement. The tumor began to disap- 15 pear at once, the hemorrhage ceased, and perfect strength was manifest. There was no joy ever greater than mine for this Christ- 18 cure, for I was very weary and heavy laden. I thought very little of either sleeping or eating, and my heart was filled with gratitude, since I knew I had touched the hem 21 of his garment. I must add that the reading of Science and Health, and that alone, healed me, and it was the second copy I ever 24 saw. — S. L., Fort Worth, Tex. |

2020 | 609 | S&H 18 | 0 | ulcerated tooth healed | Show all | THE TRUE PHYSICIAN FOUND 15 It is with a deep sense of gratitude that I send the particulars of my healing through Christian Science. While visiting friends in the southwestern part of On- 18 tario, about three years ago, my attention was called to Christian Science and the wonderful healing it was doing. I had lived in New York for twenty-five years, 21 but had never heard of Christian Science before, to my recollection. Up to that time, for seventeen years, I had suffered 24 with indigestion and gastritis in the worst form, often being overcome from a seeming pressure against the heart. I had asthma for four years, also had worn glasses for 27 four years. It seemed to me that I had swallowed every known medicine to relieve my indigestion, but they only gave me temporary benefit. I purchased a copy of Sci- 30 ence and Health, and simply from the reading of that 1 grand book I was completely healed of all my physical ailments in two weeks' time. I have used no medi- 3 cine from that day to this, and with God's help, and the wonderful light revealed to me through the reading of Mrs. Eddy's book, I never expect to again. I used 6 to smoke eight or ten cigars a day, and also took an occasional drink, but the desire for these has gone, — I feel forever. I travel on the road, and am constantly 9 being invited to indulge, but it is no effort to abstain, and in many instances I find that my refusal helps others. 12 While I fully appreciate the release from my physical troubles, this pales into insignificance in comparison with the spiritual uplifting Christian Science has brought me. 15 I had not been inside a church for more than ten years, to attend regular services, until I entered a Christian Science church. What I saw and realized there, seemed 18 so genuine that I loved Christian Science from the very start. I have never taken a treatment, — every inch of the way has been through study and practical demon- 21 stration, and I know that all can do the same thing if they will try. Since I have been in Science I have overcome a case of 24 ulcerated tooth in one night through the reading of Science and Health; also a severe attack of grip in thirty-six hours by obeying the Scripture saying, "Physician, heal thy- 27 self." — B. H. N., New York, N. Y. |

The 30 attending physician declared that I could live but a short 1 time, and I felt there would be a limit to my endur- ance of the torture, but the disease was dissipated into 3 nothingness through Christian Science, which brought me peace. Like many others I had been seemingly lost in the 6 sea of error, without a compass, yet earnestly and hon- estly seeking a haven. I had investigated all kinds of religions and philosophies that came under my notice, 9 with the exception of Christian Science, which was not then deemed worthy of inquiry, and yet it held the very truth I was searching for — the light which 12 "shineth in the darkness; and the darkness com- prehended it not." Three years of stubborn resist- ance to Truth, with increasing suffering, followed — 15 then the light came, and with it a new experience. Now, after nine years of Christian Science experience, under severe tests, it can be truthfully said that it 18 has not failed me in any hour of need. — J. F. J., Cincinnati, Ohio. |

Man is the consciousness of God, Mind, and Mind is ever at work, therefore man and his work cannot be separated, for man is the activity of God. There is a perfect law of supply and demand; when man needs anything he is instantly in touch with the required thing; when man desires to pass on an idea he knows where to pass it; when man needs an idea he knows where to get it, for God is the Principle of all knowledge and man knows everything he needs instantly. Not one of God’s ideas is ever idle, each has its own special purpose, and is ever fulfilling that purpose. Man is the activity of God, Love, and man rejoices in his work, always reflecting Love, to the glory of God and the joy of all. |

Man never thinks he is improperly treated, for man knows Truth, and always loves to be where he is receiving and giving joy and happiness. Man cannot leave his right place, for he is God’s consciousness, satisfied and contented, absolutely joyous, reflecting infinite joy. (Then work for love and probably against hypnotism and sensuality. The principal thing is to recollect that the one who thinks the other is unfaithful, is forming a false concept of God’s man, blaspheming God by thinking He made an imperfect man, and consequently being punished for this blasphemy. At the same time the one who is behaving wrongly is being punished for doing a thing that he cannot help doing. If the ,one who understands Truth will only think rightly, the other one will do what is right, as he is only a false concept of God’s man formed by an imaginary mortal mind, or devil, which thinks lies about God’s world and God’s man by means of imaginary men and women who suffer in a hideous nightmare. Change the false concept, ind the so-called man will be changed and God’s man, the only man, will be seen more as he is.) |

2055 | 670 | S&H 18 | 0 | usage healed | Show all | MORALLY AND PHYSICALLY HEALED 21 I did not accept Christian Science on account of any healing of my own, but after seeing my mother, who was fast drifting toward helplessness with rheumatism, restored 24 to perfect health with only a few treatments in Christian Science, I thought surely this must be the truth as Jesus taught and practised it, and if so it was what I had been 27 longing for. This was about ten years ago and was the first I had ever heard of Christian Science. We soon got a copy 30 of Science and Health and I began in the right way to 1 see if Christian Science were the truth. I had no thought of studying it for bodily healing; in fact, I did not think 3 I needed it for that, but my soul cried out for something I had not yet found. This book was indeed a key to the Scriptures. 6 It was not long after I began reading before I dis- covered that my eyes were good and strong, I could read as much as I wished, and at any time, which was 9 something I could not do before, as my eyes had always been weak. The doctors said they never would be very strong, and that if I did not wear glasses, I might lose 12 my sight altogether. I never gave up to wearing glasses, and now, thanks to Christian Science, I do not need them, my work for the past two years as a railway mail clerk 15 being a good test. At the same time my eyes were healed, I also noticed that I was entirely healed of another ail- ment which had been with me all my life, and which was 18 believed to be inherited. Since that time my growth has seemed to me slow, yet when I look back and view myself as I was before Christian Science found me, and 21 compare it with my life as it now is, I can only close my eyes to the picture and rejoice that I have been "born again" and that I have daily been putting off "the 24 old man with his deeds," and putting on "the new man." Some of the many things that have been overcome 27 through the study of Science and Health, and through realizing and practising the truth it teaches, are pro- fanity, the use of tobacco, a very quick temper, which 30 made both myself and those around me at times very miserable, and such thoughts as malice, revenge, etc. — O. L. R., Fort Worth, Tex. |

2056 | 678 | S&H 18 | 0 | usage overcome | Show all | When Christian Science first came to me, or rather, when I first came to Christian Science, I did not have a very bad opinion of myself. I thought I was a pretty good fellow. I had no religious views. I seemed to be getting along as well as, if not better than, some who professed Christianity. So I drifted along until I was led to investigate Christian Science. As I progressed in the understanding as gained from the study of both Science and Health and the Bible, and commenced to know myself, I found that a great change had been wrought in me. For fifteen years I had used tobacco, both chewing and smoking; for ten years I had been a victim of the drink habit, sometimes to excess; I was also addicted to profanity. Christian Science removed these appetites. A stomach trouble and other lesser ills, such as headache, a bad temper, an inordinate love of money, etc., disappeared under the same benign influence. Those things that seemed to be pleasure do not give me pleasure now. They were not real pleasure. I have lost nothing, I have sacrificed nothing; but I have gained everything, and not yet the whole, for I can see plenty yet to be done. The condition of mind before investigating and after is as different as black and white. As Mrs. Eddy says, "Not matter, but Mind, satisfieth. - G. B. P., Henry, S. D. |

2060 | 682 | S&H 18 | 0 | vainglory healed | Show all | MANY TROUBLES OVERCOME In the second chapter of First Peter, ninth verse, I 18 read "that ye should show forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light." The periodicals so wisely established by our 21 Leader give us one means of showing forth the praises of Truth. From the darkness of physical pain and weariness into 24 the light of wholeness and joyousness in work and living, — from the darkness of a clouded sight into the light of clearer vision, — from the darkness of doubt 27 and discord into the marvellous light of the reality of good, — this is what a reading of the Christian Science textbook has done for me. 30 At the time the book was lent to me, I was teach- 1 ing in the public schools of Chicago, and absences from my work on account of illness were of frequent occurrence. 3 For five weeks I had been under the care of a specialist for an organic trouble, and he said I would have to come as many more months before a cure could be effected. 6 At this time, Science and Health was brought to my notice. I never thought of such a thing as being healed by the reading of the book, but my thought was so changed 9 that I was healed, not only of the organic trouble, but of blurred eyesight, fatigue, and a train of other discordant manifestations. I did not go back to the physician 12 until four months later to pay my bill (which, by the way, was more than five times the price of the Science and Health I had purchased). From the time I read 15 the book I taught steadily without losing time from my work. I was helped, too, with my work in many other ways. 18 Through reading the textbook I learned that God has given us strength to do all we have to do, and that it is the things we do not have to do (the envying, strife, emu- 21 lating, vainglorying, and so on) that leave in their wake fatigue and discord. Gratitude to our beloved Leader, Mrs. Eddy, and 24 to her faithful students, with whom I afterwards be- came associated, can be expressed only by daily efforts to put into practice what has been taught. — T.

2061 | 608 | S&H 18 | 0 | valvular heart disease healed | Show all | 9 VALVULAR HEART DISEASE HEALED Fourteen years ago my heart awoke to gratitude to God and the dear Leader at the same time. After a 12 patient and persistent effort of three months' duration, to procure a copy of Science and Health (during which time I had visited every bookstore, and many of the second- 15 hand bookstores in the city of St. Paul), and had failed to find it, I at last remembered that the stranger who told me I might be healed, had mentioned a name, and 18 McVicker's Theatre Building in Chicago as being in some way connected with the work. I sent there for information regarding a book called Health and Science, 21 and the return mail brought me the book, Science and Health, and in it I at once found sure promise of deliver- ance from valvular heart disease, with all the accompani- 24 ments, such as extreme nervousness, weakness, dyspepsia, and insomnia. I had suffered from these all my life, finding no permanent relief, even, in material remedies, 27 and no hope of cure at any time. Only those who have been held in such bondage and have been liberated by the same means, can know the eager joy of the first perusal 30 of that wonderful book. 1 Half a day's reading convinced me that I had found the way to holiness and health. I read on, thinking only 3 of the spiritual enlightenment, content to wait until I should be led to some person who would heal me; but old things had passed away, and all things had become 6 new. I was completely healed before I had met a Scien- tist, or one who knew anything about Christian Science, and before I had read a line of any other Christian Science 9 literature except one leaf of a tract; so it is absolutely certain that the healing was entirely impersonal, as was also the teaching, which enabled me to begin at once 12 demonstrating the power of Truth to destroy all forms of error. — E.

As I read other testimonies and rejoice in them, some one may rejoice in mine. I was healed by reading Science and 18 Health. By applying it, I found it to be the truth that Jesus taught, — the truth that sets free. From childhood I had never known a well day. I 21 was healed of lung trouble of long standing. Con- sumption was hereditary in our family, my mother and three brothers having passed on with it. The law of 24 materia medica said that in a short time I must fol- low them. I also had severe stomach trouble of over eight years' standing, during which time I always re- 27 tired without supper, as the fear of suffering from my food was so great that I denied myself food when hun- gry. For over twenty years I had ovarian trouble, 30 which was almost unbearable at times. It dated from 1 the birth of my first child, and at one time necessitated an operation. I suffered with about all the ills that 3 flesh is heir to: I had trouble with my eyes from a child; wore glasses for fourteen years, several oculists saying I would go blind, one declaring I would be blind in less 6 than a year if I did not submit to an operation, which I refused to do. But thanks be to God whose Truth reached me through 9 the study of our textbook. Words fail to express what Christian Science has done for me in various ways, for my children, my home, my all. The physical healing 12 is but a small part; the spiritual unfolding and uplifting is the "pearl of great price," the half that has never been told. — Mrs. J. P. M., Kansas City, Mo. |

I was then taken to specialists, who pronounced my case incurable, saying I was in the last stages of kidney disease and could 15 live only a short time. Shortly afterward my uncle gave me a copy of "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," and asked me to study it. After study- 18 ing a short time I was able to walk a distance of several miles, which I had not been able to do for three years. I also laid aside glasses which I had worn seven years, 21 having been told I would become blind if my eyes did not receive proper care. It is over a year since I re- ceived God's blessing, and I am now enjoying perfect 24 health and happiness. I have never had my glasses on since I first began reading Science and Health, and I have not used any medicine. — L. R., Spring Valley, Minn. |

2092 | 614 | S&H 18 | 0 | walk without cane healed | Show all | INTENSE SUFFERING OVERCOME 21 For about five years I was afflicted with sciatic rheu- matism, in such a severe form that my body was drawn out of shape. When able to be around, I walked with 24 the assistance of a cane. The attacks were periodical, recurring every few months; any exposure to rain or dampness would bring one. At one time I was in bed 27 eleven weeks, suffering intensely all the time except when relieved by hypodermic injections. When I had these attacks, my regular physician was always in attendance. 30 My daughter consulted another physician, who said there 1 would have to be an operation which would include the exposing and scraping of the sciatic nerve. There 3 was also another physician who, knowing of the case, examined my heart and claimed that it was weak and that I was liable to pass on at any time from heart 6 trouble.

2106 | 653 | S&H 18 | 0 | weakened internal organs healed | Show all | GRATEFUL FOR MANY BLESSINGS 9 In 1894 I began the study of Christian Science. At that time I was greatly in need of its healing truth. For a number of years previous I had been a semi- 12 invalid with no hope of ever being well and strong again. Several years before this time I had undergone an operation which resulted in peritonitis. For three 15 years previous to my study of Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy, I was scarcely ever free from headache caused by the weakened and diseased condition of the 18 internal organs. At the time I began the study of Christian Science I was taking five kinds of medicine. I began to read Science and Health, and did not 21 take treatment, for I thought, "If this is truth, I shall be healed; if it is not, I shall be able to detect it, and will have nothing to do with it." I became a 24 devoted student and gradually my bodily diseases left me, — I was free, and since that time, nearly ten years ago, neither my two children nor myself have 27 taken any medicine; and our understanding of truth has been able to meet and overcome any suggestion of illness. 30 I was a devoted member of an orthodox church, 1 but as I grew older I began to question my beliefs, and to my questions I could find no satisfactory an- 3 swer. I became dissatisfied and finally ceased attend- ing church. I could not accept the idea of God taught there, and at last my friends looked sadly upon me as 6 an atheist. There I stood until I learned to know God as revealed in Science and Health, and then all my questionings were answered. In my girlhood I had 9 always prayed to the God I held in mind, and when the shadows of sickness, pain, and death came to my family, I prayed as only those can who know that if 12 He helps not, there is none; but my prayers were unanswered. Then I closed my Bible, saying, "There is a mistake somewhere, perhaps some time I may 15 know." Only those who know the attitude of mind that I was in can understand the joy that came to me as I 18 began to learn of God in Christian Science, and of my relation to Him. Many proofs of the healing power of Truth and of 21 His protecting care throng my thoughts. Seven years ago, when we were in a far distant country, where Christian Science was then unknown, my little daughter 24 came in one morning from her school, saying, "Mother, I have measles; twenty of the girls are sick in bed and I am afraid they will put me there also." Her face, hands, 27 and chest were covered with a deep red rash, throat sore, and eyes inflamed. We began immediately to do our work in Science and at night, when I left her at the door of the 30 college, her face was clear, her eyes bright, and all fear destroyed. That was the end of the disease. — F. M. P., Boston, Mass. |

After a 12 patient and persistent effort of three months' duration, to procure a copy of Science and Health (during which time I had visited every bookstore, and many of the second- 15 hand bookstores in the city of St. Paul), and had failed to find it, I at last remembered that the stranger who told me I might be healed, had mentioned a name, and 18 McVicker's Theatre Building in Chicago as being in some way connected with the work. I sent there for information regarding a book called Health and Science, 21 and the return mail brought me the book, Science and Health, and in it I at once found sure promise of deliver- ance from valvular heart disease, with all the accompani- 24 ments, such as extreme nervousness, weakness, dyspepsia, and insomnia. I had suffered from these all my life, finding no permanent relief, even, in material remedies, 27 and no hope of cure at any time. Only those who have been held in such bondage and have been liberated by the same means, can know the eager joy of the first perusal 30 of that wonderful book. 1 Half a day's reading convinced me that I had found the way to holiness and health. I read on, thinking only 3 of the spiritual enlightenment, content to wait until I should be led to some person who would heal me; but old things had passed away, and all things had become 6 new. I was completely healed before I had met a Scien- tist, or one who knew anything about Christian Science, and before I had read a line of any other Christian Science 9 literature except one leaf of a tract; so it is absolutely certain that the healing was entirely impersonal, as was also the teaching, which enabled me to begin at once 12 demonstrating the power of Truth to destroy all forms of error. — E.

Some years ago I was pronounced by a pro- 24 fessor of materia medica, whose works are in general use, a neurasthenic. I had been in this condition more or less for eight years, and up to two years ago, when Christian 27 Science was first brought to my attention (thanks to Al- mighty God) through a kind friend, I was almost con- stantly taking medicine and had in all eleven physicians 30 who undoubtedly did their best, but without avail, not- 1 withstanding almost all known drugs were prescribed, and further I had tried very many patent medicines. I 3 was also put through forms of hygienic treatment and other things that offered inducements. At the time of coming into Science I was taking three times daily forty 6 minims of cod-liver oil and three of creosote, also three drops of Fowler's solution of arsenic, and on the month or so previous had bought eighteen dollars' worth of 9 patent medicine. I was restricted to the simplest means of diet, — all stews, fries, sweets, berries, and tomatoes I had not touched for two years. 12 I started to read Science and Health, and before I had half finished the book once I was eating everything that any one does. I read the book eleven times straight 15 ahead and many times skipping about. The book has done the work and I am a well man. — C. E. M., Philadelphia, Pa. |

Feeling that this was God's will, I did not ask to be healed, although I was constantly doctoring. I suffered with dys- 27 pepsia, congestion of the liver, and many other things, including weak eyesight. With all the medicine, and with different changes for rest, I never regained health, 30 and thought I never should, so I prayed for grace to bear my cross patiently for others' sake. One day, while 1 lying on my couch exhausted, which had become a fre- quent experience, the words came to me, "Whatsoever 3 ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive." I rose, knelt down and said, O God, make me well. I was telling a friend this and she kindly gave me a Senti- 6 nel. Imagine my joy when I saw the testimonies of heal- ing! I believed them, remembering our Lord's words, "Blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have be- 9 lieved." I obtained a copy of Science and Health and before a week had passed I realized that if God was my all I needed no glasses. My eyes were healed in a few 12 days, and since then I have never thought of glasses. I was also cured of dyspepsia, and nothing that I have eaten has hurt me since then. The belief in health laws 15 was next destroyed, by knowing that our heavenly Father did not make them, and from this has come the beautiful experience of the overcoming of fatigue. 18 For this alone I can never be thankful enough. True indeed are the words, "They shall run, and not be weary." This was more than a year ago, and I can say that not 21 once have I felt inclined to lie on the couch, nor have I had a headache, although I am doing more work than ever before. Fear has also been overcome in many ways. 24 — A. L., Chelmsford, England. |

2115 | 679 | S&H 18 | 0 | weakness healed | Show all | I should like to express my gratitude for the many benefits I have received through Christian Science, and to mention the great joy brought to me in the thought that man is not the helpless victim of sin, disease, and death. Through its teachings I have been able to overcome many errors. When Christian Science found me, one year ago last April, in Chicago, I was suffering from catarrh of the stomach, which had been very persistent, and I had been a slave to the cigarette habit for eighteen years. Pain and weakness had robbed me of all that one holds dear. The first symptoms of the disease appeared about five years ago in the form of severe cramps of the stomach, which finally developed into other symptoms of that painful disease. I doctored continually, my diet daily becoming more rigid, until three slices of toast became my daily allowance of food. In this condition I left the East for my home in Chicago, hoping that a change of climate might benefit me. After spending six weeks there and finding no relief, I concluded to return East. The Sunday morning before leaving I picked up a Sunday paper, and glancing through the religious items my eyes fell on the notices of Christian Science church services. Curiosity led me to a service and I shall never forget that morning or the surprise and joy it gave me to find that beautiful church, and to know that so great a number actually believed that God does heal the sick today. This brought a first ray of hope. The evening service found me there again. Among the notices read was that of a reading room, giving the location and time of opening. Monday morning found me there promptly, and the first book I picked up was Science and Health which opened a new world to me. I had dieted so long and suffered so much that I had a morbid fear of food. When I had reached and read of "neither food nor the stomach, without the consent of mortal mind, can make one suffer" (Science and Health, p. 221), I left the reading room for something to eat. I found a bakery near by, and bought a bag of cakes which I ate, and shortly after I had a hearty dinner without the least complaint from my stomach. From that time until now I have eaten anything that I wished, and the craving for cigarettes, which I had for many years, has entirely vanished. The understanding of Truth, which entirely relieved the diseased stomach, healed also the morbid appetite for smoking. After coming back East, I bought a copy of Science and Health, which I have read daily, and find it a continual help in all the affairs of life. In my home and at work I find this Science a comfort and source of strength. I have had many difficulties in the way, but it has helped me out of them all. - W. E. B., New Britain, Conn. |

It is over nine years since we first became interested in 21 the Science, and it would be hard to find a healthier person than I am now. I can go all day, from morn- ing till night, upheld by the thought that "they that 24 wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength." I can truly say that I scarcely know what physical weari- ness is any more. Before I came into Science the 27 physicians said that one lung was gone, and that the other was affected with tuberculosis; so, from their standpoint, there was little left for me to hope for. We 30 had tried every remedy that they had suggested. I had 1 gone to the mountains, but could not stay there on account of the altitude; and when they did not know what else 3 to do, they said we would better go to England — that the ocean air would be beneficial. So we spent three months in the British Isles, and when I came back I 6 seemed much better, but this only lasted a short time. In little more than a month I was worse than ever, and my mother was told that I had but a few weeks, or at 9 most months, to live. At that time, a lady, a stranger to us, suggested that we try Christian Science. There was no prejudice against 12 it, as we did not even know what it was. We knew of no Scientists in the Western town where we were living, and when we were told that we could send to Kansas City 15 for absent treatment, we thought it was absurd. We were then told that many people had been healed through the reading of the Christian Science textbook, Science and 18 Health, and to us this seemed a little worse than the absent treatment, but as we had tried everything we had heard of up to that time, my mother sent for the 21 book. It came in the middle of October and we began to read it together. It seemed to me from the first that it was 24 something I had always believed, but did not know how to express — it seemed such a natural thing. My im- provement was very gradual, but I felt I was recovering. 27 After the Christmas holidays I started in at school and went the whole term without missing a day, — some- thing I had never done before. I finished my school 30 course without missing a day — in fact, I have not spent a day in bed since that time. I feel absolutely certain that I have two sound, healthy lungs now. The hollows 1 in my chest have filled out, and I breathe perfectly on both sides; rarely have a cold to meet, and have not a sign of 3 a cough. People sometimes say, "Oh, well, maybe you never had consumption." Well, I had all the symptoms, and they 6 are every one gone through the reading of Science and Health. — E. L. B., Chicago, Ill. |

I was very ill and unhappy; very cynical and disbeliev- 30 ing in regard to what I heard of God and religion. 1 I tried to live my life in my own way and put religion aside. I was a great believer in fate and in will-power, 3 and thought to put them in the place of God, with the consequence that I was led to do many rash and foolish things. I am now thankful to say that my out- 6 look on life is entirely changed; I have proved God's wisdom and goodness so often that I am willing and thankful to know my future is in His hands and that 9 all things must work out for the best. I have found a God whom I can love and worship with my whole heart, and I now read my Bible with interest and 12 understanding. I was healed of very bad rheumatism simply by read- ing Science and Health. I had tried many medicines, 15 also massage, with no result, and the doctors told me that I would always suffer from this disease, as it was inherited, and also because I had rheumatic fever 18 when a child. I suffered day and night, and nothing relieved me until Science proved to me the falseness of this belief by removing it. I gave up all the medi- 21 cines I was taking and have never touched any since, and that is more than two years ago. Before this I had often tried to do without a medicine that I had 24 taken every day for ten years, but was always ill and had to return to it, until I found out that one Mind is the only medicine, and then I was freed from the suffering. 27 I had also suffered constantly from bilious attacks, colds, and a weak chest, and had been warned not to be out in wet weather, etc., but now, I am glad to say, 30 I am quite free from all those material laws and go out in all sorts of weather. — R.

When able to be around, I walked with 24 the assistance of a cane. The attacks were periodical, recurring every few months; any exposure to rain or dampness would bring one. At one time I was in bed 27 eleven weeks, suffering intensely all the time except when relieved by hypodermic injections. When I had these attacks, my regular physician was always in attendance. 30 My daughter consulted another physician, who said there 1 would have to be an operation which would include the exposing and scraping of the sciatic nerve. There 3 was also another physician who, knowing of the case, examined my heart and claimed that it was weak and that I was liable to pass on at any time from heart 6 trouble. After suffering three years I heard of Christian Science, but did not avail myself of it for two years, when I de- 9 cided to give up all other means and rely wholly upon it. It was not convenient to call a practitioner, so I took Science and Health and applied its teachings as best 12 I could.

I am satisfied that I have found Truth. God is indeed to me 24 an ever-present help. My little girl, some ten months old, was afflicted with constipation. It was so severe I dreaded to go 27 out anywhere with her, as I knew not when she would be taken with a convulsion. I had tried all the usual remedies in such cases, but it seemed to grow more ob- 30 stinate. There was a Christian Scientist living in 1 the same house with us, a Scientist who let her light shine, and while she said little, I felt the reflection of 3 Love. I had no knowledge of the teachings of Chris- tian Science, save that God was the physician at all times. In my own way I believed He was all-power- 6 ful, and I said to my husband one day, "I am through with medicine for baby. I am just going to leave her in God's care and see what He will do. I have done 9 all I can." I did as I said, laid my burden at God's feet, and did not pick it up again. In two days the child was perfectly natural, and has since been free 12 from the trouble. She is now six years of age. Some months later a second test came. She woke up at nine o'clock at night crying and holding her ear. There 15 was to sense a gathering. I was alone. I took up my Science and Health and Bible, but the more I worked the louder she screamed. Error kept suggesting ma- 18 terial remedies, but I said firmly: "No; I shall not go back to error. God will help me." Just then I thought of my own fear, how excessive it was, and a conversation 21 I had with the Scientist who first voiced the truth to me, came to mind. She said she always found it helpful to treat herself and cast out her own fear before treat- 24 ing a patient. I put baby down and again took up my Science and Health, and these were the words I read: — 27 "Every trial of our faith in God makes us stronger. The more difficult seems the material condition to be overcome by Spirit, the stronger should be our faith 30 and the purer our love. The Apostle John says: 'There is no fear in Love, but perfect Love casteth out fear' " (Science and Health, p. 410). I looked up, the crying 1 had ceased, the child was smiling, and in a few minutes asked to be put to bed. There has been no further 3 trouble of that kind. I have since seen the power of Truth overcome error of many forms, including croup, whooping-cough, ton- 6 silitis, etc. I am thankful for all these proofs, but far more grateful am I for the spiritual teaching to love, to forgive, to curb my tongue, and cease my criticism. 9 — M. A. H., Brockton, Mass. |

Solomon humbly acknowledged his inability to rule well and unselfishly asked God for wisdom. God gave him wisdom and wealth besides (1 Kings 3:4–15; 10:27). In fact, “King Solomon was greater in riches and wisdom than all the other kings of the earth”(1 Kings 10:23). God also gave Solomon peace on all sides during most of his reign (1 Kings 4:20–25). |

2139 | 267 | Rawson | 0 | Wisdom, Lack of | Show all | There is no lack of wisdom, man is made in the image and likeness of God and reflects divine wisdom, intelligence and knowledge. “ O I be depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God I ” (Rom. II : 33). Man is always saying and doing the right thing at the right time, for when man works, God works, God works by means of man. Man can never offend his fellow-man, for man displays infinite tact and passes on only the ideas of God which give his fellow-man joy and happiness. When man speaks, God speaks, man is always saying what is right, for only ideas of Truth can come to man, and these ideas unfold with perfect sequence and are re-presented with perfect sequence. “ God is not separate from the wisdom He bestows ” (S. & H. p. 6). “ For God givetb to a man that is good in his sight wisdom, and knowledge, and joy ” (Eccl. 2 : 26). |

It is a little over a year since 6 Science found me in a deplorable condition, physically as well as mentally. I had ailments of many years' standing, — chronic stomach trouble, severe eye trouble, 9 made almost unbearable from the constant fear of losing my sight (a fate which had befallen my mother), also a painful rupture of twenty-five years' 12 standing. These ailments, combined with unhappy conditions in my home, made me very despondent. I had entirely lost my belief in an all-merciful God, and 15 I did not know where to turn for help. At that time Christian Science was brought to my notice, and I shall never forget the sublime moment when I perceived that 18 an all-loving Father is always with me. Forgotten was all sorrow and worry, and after four weeks' reading in Science and Health all my ailments had disappeared. 21 I am to-day a healthy, contented woman. All this has come to pass in one short year, and my earnest desire is to be more and more worthy to be 24 called a child of God. This is in loving gratitude for an understanding of this glorious truth. — Mrs. R. J., Chicago, Ill. |

There is a perfect law of supply, when man needs an idea he knows where to get it; when man wants to pass on an idea, he knows where to pass it. Man reflects divine wisdom, intelligence and knowledge, and knows everything he needs instantly. God’s ideas never go wrong, they are spiritual. The lesser idea's .never harm the higher ideas, they minister to man and benefit him. |

2175 | 666 | S&H 18 | 0 | yellow fever healed | Show all | 1 SCIENCE AND HEALTH A PRICELESS BOON I am a willing witness to the healing power of Chris- 3 tian Science, having had a lifetime's battle with dis- ease and medical experiments. Various doctors finally admitted that they had exhausted their resources, and 6 could only offer me palliatives, saying that a cure was impossible. I had paralysis of the bowels, frequent sick headaches with unutterable agony, and my mortal 9 career was nearly brought to an end by a malignant type of yellow fever. Many were the attending evils of this physical inharmony, but God confounds the wis- 12 dom of men, for while studying Science and Health two years ago, the veil of ignorance was lifted and perfect health was shown to me to be my real con- 15 dition, and to such there is no relapse. The constant use of glasses, which were apparently a necessity to me for years, was proven needless, and they were laid 18 aside. Mrs. Eddy has made Scripture reading a never- failing well of comfort to me. By her interpretation "the way of the Lord" is made straight to me and 21 mine. It aids us in our daily overcoming of the tyr- anny of the flesh and its rebellion against the blessed leading of Christ, Truth. The daily study of the Bible 24 and our textbook is bringing more and more into our con- sciousness the power of God unto salvation. — J. C., Manatee, Fla. |
