Science and Health

622:1
reading the book on Tuesday and finished on Friday of
the same week. I was still in the dark. I laid the book
down, involuntarily closed my eyes, and silently prayed
to God.
622:5
I remained in that attitude a few moments, when I
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-
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
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;"
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
my former complaint and I feel like a new being. – L. P.,

HEALTH AND PEACE GAINED
622:21
About nine years ago I was drawn to Christian
Science by a relative whose many afflictions had given
place to health and harmony, and whose loving grati-
tude was reflected in every word and deed. The
thought came to me, God indeed healeth all our
diseases.
622:27
My first reading of Science and Health was without
understanding. I was full of darkness and gloom, and
it was laid aside for a time. The good seed had been
sown, however, and erelong the reading was resumed,
623:1
and with such interest that my afflictions disappeared
"like mist before the morning sun." Asthma (thought
to be hereditary), neuralgia in an aggravated form, and
besides these, the tobacco and liquor habit of many years'
standing left me. Bless the Lord, "He sent his word"
and healed me, – for the reading of Science and Health
brought to my consciousness the truth that makes free. –

CONSUMPTION QUICKLY CURED
623:10
I became interested in Christian Science nearly five
years ago through the healing of my wife of what the
doctors called consumption in its last stages. I had tried
everything that I could get in the way of materia medica,
and every doctor would tell me nearly the same story
about the case. At last they recommended for her only
a higher, drier climate, and when she would be at her
worst to give her something to quiet her.
623:18
I tried different climates, but she was no better,
indeed worse. At last she struggled along until the
first of March, 1899. She had taken to her bed again.
For two days and nights she suffered, and I called a
physician. He came and diagnosed the case, and said
that he could do nothing for her but give her some
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-
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-
thing about Christian Science. We had heard of it, but
