Chapter 18 ~ Fruitage ~ Subtitles
Science & Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy ~ 1910 Final Ed.
1. Description ~ Please see below 2. Text Content ~ Please see below
To complete the book is chapter eighteen, FRUITAGE. This is what we are all interested in, for “by their fruits ye shall know them” (Matt 7:20). The chapter contains letters from individuals who have been healed of all sorts of complaints, mostly physical, by the reading of the book. Here we return to the initial point of wholeness: we experience health restored as we accept the book as a whole. The book concludes therefore with evidence of the fact that it is a self-fruiting book, a self-demonstrating textbook. ~ DISSOLVING BARRIERS, The Healing Work of Christian Science by John L.

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. SHOW ALL |

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?

C. H | Lungs, bronchitis, invalid, consumption, ankle, sprain - Substance of Lungs Restored | 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. SHOW ALL |

S. L | Fibroid tumor, hemorrhage, weakness - Fibroid Tumor Healed in a Few Days | 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. SHOW ALL |

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. SHOW ALL |

Mrs. B. B. C | Insanity and Epilepsy Healed | INSANITY AND EPILEPSY HEALED
While an inmate of the State asylum for the insane at
27 Middletown, Conn., an epileptic, and at times confined to
my bed with bilious attacks, pronounced incurable by the
doctors (at least six in number), the book, Science and
30 Health with Key to the Scriptures, by Mrs. Eddy was
1 placed in my hands. 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.

L. C. S | Surgery - A Case of Mental Surgery | 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.

| 55 | 45 | 605 | bone reset healed | 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.

G. F.

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.

E. J.

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.

B. H. N | Teeth, ulcer, eyes, cigar, asthma, gastritis, grip - The True Physician Found | 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.

| 94 | 10 | 610 | Cancer, consumption, healed, Childbirth without pain | internal cancer, consumption, painless childbirth | E. C. C | Cancer and Consumption Healed | 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. C., Lewiston, Idaho.

M. T. W | Spasms, teeth, eyes - A Remarkable Case | 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. SHOW ALL |

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.

sciatic rheumatism, deformity, heart disease | Mrs. E. A. K | Rheumatism, heart disease, deformity - Intense Suffering Overcome | 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.

sciatic rheumatism, Bright’s disease, fear of death and hell healed |
G. J. H | Rheumatism, Bright’s disease, death imminent - Healed of Rheumatism and Bright’s Disease | HEALED OF RHEUMATISM AND BRIGHT'S DISEASE 21 I am very thankful to God for what He has done for me. 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. SHOW ALL |

I was advised to buy Science and Health, which 9 I did, and the study of this book has healed my back en- tirely.

| 141 | 17 | 619 | Neuralgia of the stomach and morphine dependency healed |
neuralgia, morphine, fear, croup | A. J. G | Stomach, drugs - A Helpful Healing | 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. SHOW ALL |

L. P | Health and Peace Attained | 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. SHOW ALL |

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.

lung lost, tuberculosis, weariness, prejudice | E. L. B | Lungs, tuberculosis, weariness, chest sunken - A Profitable Study | 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.

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.

eyes, sores, instantaneously, opiates | Mrs. F. S | Eyes, sores - Diseased Eyes Cured | DISEASED EYES CURED Christian Science came to me when I was a wreck, my 24 body being completely covered with sores. 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.

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.

H. T | Stomach, spiritual understanding - Obstinate Stomach Trouble Healed | 27 OBSTINATE STOMACH TROUBLE HEALED There is no doubt that by far the greater number come to Christian Science by the way of physical healing, but 1 there are those to whom this does not particularly appeal. 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.SHOW ALL |

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.

| 193 | 161 | 631 | spine healed | 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.

L. B | Bright’s, disease, despair - From Despair to Hope and Joy | FROM DESPAIR TO HOPE AND JOY I have often had a desire to make public what Chris- 18 tian Science has done for me, but I never could tell of all my blessings, they are so many. 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. SHOW 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.

Mrs. M. G | Deaf Ears Unstopped | 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. SHOW ALL |

| 208 | 173 | 635 | deafness - hereditary healed | 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.

E. J. B | Suicide, kidney, headache, separation - Saved from Insanity and Suicide | 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.

| 218 | 182 | 637 | insanity healed | 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.

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. SHOW ALL |

D. W. L | Stomach, bladder, rheumatism, grip, cataracts, corns - Freed from Many Years of Suffering | FREED FROM MANY YEARS OF SUFFERING 15 In the spring of 1880 I was taken down with a severe attack of stomach trouble, was bedfast for three months, and not able to drive out for nearly six months. 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.

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.

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.

| 236 | 35 | 641 | Kidney disease healed | opiate, kidney disease, surgical operation avoided | S. H. L | Kidney, opiate, surgery avoided - Relief from Intense Suffering | 15 RELIEF FROM INTENSE SUFFERING I became interested in Christian Science in 1901. 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. SHOW ALL |

Christian life, physical troubles | E. J. R | Physical, spiritual understanding - Grateful for Many Blessings | 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. SHOW ALL |

W. H. H | Smoking, drinking, business, physical - Grateful for Moral and Spiritual Awakening | 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.

| 247 | 206 | 643 | gained healed | 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.

Mrs. J. P. M | Heredity, lungs, ovarian trouble - Hereditary Disease of the Lungs Cured | HEREDITARY DISEASE OF THE LUNGS CURED For a long time I have been impelled to contribute a 15 testimony of the healing power of Truth. 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. SHOW ALL |

H. W. B | Material laws, textbook study, healing - Textbook Appreciated | 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.

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.

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.

Miss L. M | Pain - A Convincing Investigation | 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.

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. SHOW ALL |

F. M. P | Invalid, stomach, headaches, measles - Grateful for many Blessings | 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. SHOW ALL |

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. SHOW ALL |

Mrs. R. J | Stomach, eyes, fear, rupture - A Joyful Experience | 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. SHOW ALL |

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.

| 307 | 256 | 655 | fear of blindness healed | 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. SHOW ALL |

| 309 | 258 | 655 | glasses needed healed | 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.

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. SHOW ALL |

E. E. L | Colds, chills, weakness, throat disease, rheumatic fever, debility, chronic constipation, loss of love for and faith in God, astigmatism healed - A Testimony from Ireland | 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.

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.

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.

C | Bowels - Disease of Bowels Healed | DISEASE OF BOWELS HEALED 21 When I first heard of Christian Science I had been afflicted for nine years with a very painful disease of the bowels, which four physicians failed even to diagnose, 24 all giving different causes for the dreadful sufferings I endured. The last physician advised me to take no more medicine for these attacks, as drugs would not reach the 27 cause, or do any good. About this time I heard of Christian Science, and had the opportunity of reading "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mrs. 30 Eddy, a few minutes every day for about a week, and I 1 was thereby healed. In looking back I found I had not suffered in the least from the time I began reading this 3 book. It has been nearly seventeen years since this won- derful healing, and I have had no return of the disease. My gratitude is endless and can be best expressed by 6 striving mightily to walk in the path our Leader has so lovingly shown us in Science and Health. — Mrs. J. W. C., Scranton, Pa. SHOW ALL |

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 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.

| 360 | 302 | 662 | faith in god restored healed | 27 A TESTIMONY FROM SCOTLAND I came to Christian Science purely for physical healing. 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.

L. M. St. C | Tuberculosis, emaciation, immobility, paralysis of the bowels, intense suffering and incipient insanity overcome - Curing Better Than Enduring | 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.

Eczema, measles, light | Mrs. M. B. G | Eczema, incurable, measles - Severe Eczema Destroyed | 12 SEVERE ECZEMA DESTROYED It is only two years since I came from darkness into the light of Christian Science, and to me the spiritual 15 uplifting has been wonderful, to say nothing of the physical healing. 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.

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.

C. B. G | Physical, spiritual - Born Again | 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.

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.

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.

R | Eyes, profanity, tobacco, malicious, revenge, character, glasses, spiritual growth - Morally and Physically Healed | 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.

”little ones”, Matthew 10:42; 18:6, 10, 14, understanding, Science of Mind, Ephesians 4:14 |
A. E. J | Medicine, sickness - Health and Understanding Gained | 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.SHOW ALL |

L. B | Scars, broken jaw, chronic diarrhea, hearing - An Ever-present Help Found | 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.

L | Tuberculosis, skin, child-birth - Many Physical and Mental Troubles Overcome | 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.

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.

W. H. P | Smoking, drinking - A New Life Gained | 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.

Healing | A. L | Fatigue and weakness, dyspepsia, liver congestion, weak eyesight, headaches, and fear healed - A Voice from England | 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.SHOW ALL |

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.SHOW ALL |

G. B. P | Smoking, tobacco, drinking, profanity, stomach - Depraved Appetites Overcome | 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.

W. E. B | Catarrh of the Stomach Healed | 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.SHOW ALL |

| 467 | 395 | 679 | pain healed | 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.SHOW ALL |

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.

T. H.

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 | Tonsilitis, earache - A Convincing Testimony | 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.

R. L. A | Astigmatism, glasses, constipation, dyspepsia, neuralgia, spiritual understanding - Healed Physically and Spiritually | 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. SHOW ALL |

| 508 | 431 | 686 | constipation for 30 years healed | 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.

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.

| 522 | 443 | 688 | nervous debility healed | 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. SHOW ALL |

I. L | Spinal injury, insomnia, pain, tribulations - Through Great Tribulations | 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.

A. C. L | Consumption, coughing, unhappiness - A Helpful Testimony | 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.

| 533 | 78 | 693 | The desire for liquor and tobacco healed and the Bible made precious, clearer, plainer and simpler |
liquor, tobacco, comfort, pleasure | H. P. H | Drinking, tobacco, spiritual, understanding - Desire for Liquor and Tobacco Disappeared | 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 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.SHOW ALL |

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.

B. W. S | Tumor, throat, hay fever - Fibroid Tumor Destroyed | 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.

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.

C. B | Asthma, consumption - Healed of Consumption and Asthma | 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.SHOW ALL |

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.
