"That may be true, Mrs. White, but you do not wish to intimate that there is no God?"
"Most assuredly not, have I not told you that God heals the sick, that God is Good, that God is Mind? If I have robbed you of your false god, I have done a good work, for then you are ready to seek the true God. I recommend that you carefully study 'Science and Health.' In it I found who and what the true God is. If you will read this book, in connection with the Bible, you will find that it will unlock the mysteries of the Bible, and you will come into possession of that peace that passeth all understanding." "I shall certainly do as you suggest, Mrs. White; for I have determined to find the true God."
"Now, Mr. Williams, do you wish me to give your wife treatment?"
"Yes, I have determined to give Christian Science a fair trial."
"As it is getting rather late, I will not see your wife to-night, but will treat her absently as soon as I get home. I would also suggest that you acquaint her with the fact that I will see her tomorrow evening."
"But I have not asked her whether she is willing to take science treatment," said the pastor.
"Father, that has all been arranged, as I have asked her; all that mother wanted was your sanction. Otherwise she would not take the treatment, and I had acquainted Mrs. White with the facts before she came."
"I am pleased to hear that your mother is willing to try these treatments, as we have tried everything else, and now this is our last and only hope."
"When it should have been your first; yet that is the way of mortals, they try everything else first and God last, nevertheless God is ever ready to help man when man turns to Him, no matter what has gone before," said the practitioner.
"Mrs. White, your words give me great hope, yet my wife's case seems hopeless."
