"Father, wasn't he supposed to be suffering from a very severe case of Blight's disease?"
"Yes, he had a consultation of three of our best physicians, and they pronounced it Bright's disease."
"If it really was Christian Science that healed him, I am sure it will heal mother."
"Yes, son, I think so too, I believe I will ask Mr. Anderson what healed him, for if it was Christian Science, it will give me more confidence."
"Now please bring me this science book you found, as I would like to see it."
"I will get it at once, father," said the delighted boy, for he felt sure that if his father ever started to read it, he would never leave it until he had discovered the great truth the book contained.
In a few moments he was back and handed the book to his father, who said, "Walter, I wish you would call in to see your mother and acquaint her with what has been done; then you had better retire, as I may spend some time with this book."
"All right, father. Good-night."
"Good-night, Walter," said the pastor, as he assumed an easy position in his large armchair.
Walter went to his mother's room and, finding her awake, told her all about the visit of the practitioner, and also some of the things she had said, and that she was coming to see her the next evening. He then bade her a cheerful good-night and retired to his own room, a very happy and well satisfied boy.
