I am eternally grateful for Christian Science. Through the study and demonstration of its teachings I have seen proved many times that "God is ... a very present help in trouble," as the Bible tells us (Ps. 46:1).

During my childhood the truths I learned in the Christian Science Sunday School were a constant protection to me. I experienced very little sickness, and at different times was quickly healed of measles, mumps, and whooping cough. A large, unsightly wart on one of my knees gradually disappeared as I applied the simple truths learned, whenever I thought of the condition.

While I was in high school I had a painful corn on the ball of my foot for some time. I tried to apply the truth to the problem, as I had learned to do, but the condition continued. When it was necessary for me to submit to a yearly school health examination, the school doctor informed me that the corn would eventually have to be cut out, as it was so deeply rooted. I asked help of a Christian Science practitioner for a few days prior to my going away for the summer. She gave me some very good thoughts, and the corn was less painful, but still remained. One day in the middle of the summer I found it necessary to call on another practitioner for some help on a different matter. With one treatment I was well again, and later the same day when I was putting on my socks. I found to my great joy that the corn had entirely disappeared. I could not even remember on which foot it had been.
