One of my earliest experiences in Christian Science has remained a constant source of inspiration to me. For many years prior to my study of this Science, there had been a growth in my throat. Finally I consulted a specialist, who advised surgery for its removal, and I submitted to a minor, though painful, surgical operation. Within a year the growth reappeared, and it was just as large and disturbing as before the operation.

It was during that year that I became a student of Christian Science; so I asked a member of my family for Christian Science treatment. A few days later I looked at the throat and found no trace whatsoever of the growth. This healing took place fourteen years ago and has remained permanent.

Another wonderful healing occurred after I had experienced a severe attack of a chronic heart difficulty of twenty years' standing. In my early teens it was found that I had an alarming heart condition, and I spent several months in bed under constant medical care. The condition became less acute, but was not healed. During the next twenty years I grew so accustomed to it that when I became a student of Christian Science it did not occur to me to apply to this condition the truth I was learning.
