Christian Science has been in my home as long as I can remember; and while during our early experience we were not actively engaged in the study of it, yet I was very small when I remember my parents' carrying all of the various medicines from the medicine closet to the waste barrel. Very soon both my sister and I were placed in the Sunday school of The Mother Church, which we attended for some years, later going to the Sunday school of a branch church. Within the past two years it has been my happy privilege to receive class instruction, for which I am daily grateful; and I am equally grateful for the opportunity of being actively engaged in the work and practice of Christian Science.

I have been healed of many physical ills; and many of the healings have been instantaneous. At one time, when I was engaged in athletics, my feet were badly cut in a game of ice hockey; yet with the loving help of a practitioner I was able to fill my position in the series of championship games the following week. A slight rupture was also completely healed. When I was a boy my feet seemed to be developing into an abnormal shape; but after a few treatments the deformity disappeared.

During my experience in the war service I was constantly receiving help through Christian Science. Later, when entering aviation in the navy, I was greatly helped in the various subjects studied while at the Ground School, which were new to me and quite difficult. Physical examinations, which were many, never caused any comment from the doctors, save that I had passed perfectly; and the inoculations which we were obliged to take never caused any inconvenience; in fact, only one left a small red spot for a few hours, and no swelling.
