I should like to give praise and glory to God for the spiritual understanding that our family has received through its study of Christian Science.

When our daughter was born we were told that she probably would not live and that if she did she would never walk or talk. We did not accept this verdict and tried everything in a medical way to help. When she was eighteen months old we took her to a specialist, who diagnosed her condition as spastic paralysis and said: "You are wasting your time. There is no mentality.
