This testimony is submitted in deepest gratitude for the healing power of Christian Science.

The birth of our second child took place naturally and harmoniously with the aid of Christian Science treatment. However, on the morning that the infant and I were to be released from the hospital, the attending physician announced that alarming symptoms in the child had been observed, and he felt a further examination would be necessary. X rays were taken, and the resulting diagnosis was probable pneumonia. The doctor recommended medical treatment, but very kindly recognized our desire to rely solely on Christian Science for healing. No medication was given.

I look back on that day as one of the richest experiences of my life. The Christian Science practitioner who had helped at the time of delivery was again called for treatment, and her loving support was a tremendous help. Initially, both my husband and I had to deal with fear, and much comfort was found in the Bible verse (Isa. 41:10), "Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness."
