e there was a bright
light shining in my room, which made all objects shine like fire. I knew
where I was, and was not afraid. The vision (for such it was), after
looking directly at me for some time, spoke this one sentence, and then
disappeared: "Do right, and thou shalt be saved."
I immediately tried to live according to that precept, and found relief in
proportion to my understanding. I soon after learned of Christian Science.
One of my brothers in Kansas, having been healed by it, persuaded me to
buy "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," wherein I learned
that the above precept was the key to Christian Science; that it is
Christian Science to do right, and that nothing short of right living has
any claim to the name.
I have been learning my way in Christian Science about one year, and have
been successful in healing. I have all of your books, and am a subscriber
for the _Journal_ and _Quarterly Bible Lessons_. Some of the cases I have
treated have yielded almost instantly. I am a stranger to you, but I have
told you the truth, just as it occurred. Yours in truth,

thought, as many beginners think, that I had travelled over the worst part
of this narrow path.
Soon after, it came about that I was separated from every one who had ever
heard of Christian Science; and, as I lived in the country, no one came to
visit me for about eight months. At first, I thought the Lord had wrought
a great evil. I had no one to talk to, but would take my Science and
Health every morning, before going about my work, and read; yet mortal
mind would say, "You can do no good, with no one to talk with." At last,
one morning after listening to the serpent's voice, I looked out at the
little wild flowers as they waved to and fro; they seemed to be a living
voice, and this is what they said: "On earth peace, good will toward men."
There was also a mocking-bird that would sit on the house and sing. For
