I first became interested in Christian Science in 1910, my brother having been healed of severe eye trouble at that time. As he was not able to use his eyes to read, I read to him from "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy, and with the faithful help of a Christian Science practitioner he was healed of this trouble. During the years since then I have witnessed many healings.

In April, 1917, my wife was taken ill with throat trouble, which in a few days had become serious, the throat being almost closed and badly swollen, attended by high temperature. I had asked her to have help from a practitioner; but, thinking that the condition would improve, she had not consented to do so. But one evening about a week after the trouble first appeared, when she had become delirious and could not lie down without choking, I hurriedly went to a practitioner's home to ask for help. The practitioner said that she would begin treatment at once, and that I must not be disturbed, for everything would be all right. I was away from home not more than half an hour. Upon my return I found my wife resting peacefully, and the fever gone. She was completely healed, and was up doing her work the second day after the practitioner was asked for help.

In 1918, while my brother and his family were at our home, the youngest child, a boy of two years, was taken with influenza and pneumonia. My brother and his wife, not being interested in Christian Science, called a doctor, who, after examining the boy, said nothing more could be done for him and that he would not live an hour. After the doctor had gone, upon the advice of my wife and myself, my brother and his wife consented, as a last resort, to have a Christian Science practitioner called. This was done at once. She arrived in a very short time, and stayed with us for about an hour. At the end of this time, the little fellow was breathing much more easily, and his face had become almost a natural color again. The practitioner did some more Science work for the boy after returning to her home, and the following day he was up playing about the house with the other children.
