It was in 1886 that a series of lectures were presented
in Kansas City by Dr. Eugene B. Weeks. Dr. Weeks had at one time been a student
of Christian Science under Mary Baker Eddy. However when one of her chief
pupils Emma Hopkins broke away to found her own movement, The Illinois
Metaphysical College, in Chicago, Dr. Weeks went with her. It was as a member
of her College that he visited Kansas City.
It took 2 years
before Myrtle Fillmore was completely healed. She was considered to be dying of
hereditary tuberculosis. With no doctor or drug intervention, using tremendous
strength of character and mental discipline, she daily focused on the idea from
Weeks - "I am a child of God, and therefore I do not inherit
sickness."
