Because both my wife and I had been raised in Christian Science, we had learned from experience how natural and effective the practice of this Science is in health care as well as in resolving other problems. When we became parents, we were happy and grateful that we had Christian Science to rely upon.

One of the best friends of my family was the town's family doctor, who only served my family during the delivery of babies. My family's introduction to Science had come through a doctor's recommendation to my grandmother that she investigate this teaching, since in his opinion medical means could not help her in a life-threatening situation at the time of my father's impending birth.

In more recent years, the doctor attending the birth of one of our children had delivered a number of babies for parents who were Christian Scientists. At one time during labor she asked that I call the Christian Science practitioner who was praying for us and tell her that the baby was not in the correct position. I did so, and within ten minutes the doctor noted that the necessary adjustment had taken place and the birth proceeded harmoniously.
