In September, 1917, while preparing to go south, I became very ill. My husband was not interested in Christian Science at that time, and a neighbor suggested that he call a doctor. The pain was so severe that I did not care very much what was done.

As the house was rented and the tenant waiting to move in, I suggested going to the hospital, where I could have a private room and quietness, but with the understanding that I wanted no medical aid. The doctor who had been called informed my husband that an immediate operation was necessary, and then added that he should prepare for the worst. We did not consent to an operation, although we learned afterwards that all arrangements had been made for one.

After deciding to go to the hospital, I asked for my Bible and Science and Health and requested my husband to call a practitioner and tell her where I was going. After a while the sweet message came from her that if I wished to, I could go to her home. Divine Love was guarding me all the time, for if the call for the ambulance had been promptly answered I would have been at the hospital before receiving the practitioner's message. I went to her home and there found "the peace of God, which passeth all understanding." A complete healing was realized in about three weeks. I have had numerous healings since then, and all that we have and are to-day is due to the teachings of Christian Science.
