little ones were spending the afternoon, and somewhat surprised to see him
playing, as happy and active as any there, called to him and asked, "How
long did you sleep?" The little fellow replied, "I did not sleep at all;
mamma read to me from Science and Health, and I was well in a minute."--K.

One evening I was calling on a neighbor, and somehow the subject of
Christian Science came up. I asked her what it was, and what they
believed.

She then told me of a friend of hers who had become a Christian Scientist.
This friend had passed through great sorrow and disappointment; her health
had failed her, and her cheerful disposition had entirely changed; she
could talk of nothing but her troubles, and was a most unhappy woman. A
few years ago she visited my neighbor, who, greatly surprised at her
changed appearance,--for she was happy and well,--asked where her troubles
were. The reply was, "I have no troubles. I have found true happiness; for
I have become a Christian Scientist."

I became deeply interested, and asked if the students in Clinton had
public meetings on Sundays. She replied that they had, and told me where
they were.

The next Sunday, I went. All was quiet when I entered, for they were
engaged in silent prayer. Soon they repeated the spiritual interpretation
of the Lord's Prayer. I shall never forget the impression that made on me;
all the next week I heard the leader's voice repeating the first sentence.

I was invited to come again, and did so. One of the ladies loaned me
"Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," and offered to get me
one; which she did the next week. I have studied it in connection with the
Bible. I have greatly improved in health, having had only one attack of a
physical trouble which caused great suffering, since that time, and that
was a year ago.

At first, I did not think anything about being healed, or of my physical
infirmity. I only loved the sacred teaching. How true, that God's word
does not return unto Him void! The words of truth that my neighbor's
friend spoke to her, were what first awakened me. If the one who first
hears it does not receive it, it goes to some one who is ready, and it
takes root and bears fruit.
