Before I left for camp as an officer in the Reserve Corps my sister sent me a copy of "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy. A few weeks prior to sailing for France, one who had at one time been a physician gave me a small khaki-covered Science and Health and said, "Take this along with you; you will find it very valuable." I took both copies and put them in the bottom of my trunk. Not realizing what a blessing they contained I did not read them at all while in France, though I visited several Christian Science War Relief Rooms and was greatly impressed with the peaceful atmosphere that seemed to pervade these rooms.

After receiving my discharge from the army I returned to the university which I had been attending before the war, to finish my course. I seemed to be suffering from what I thought was the effect of gas and hereditary pulmonary disease. I was taking medicine continually, but seemed to be growing worse all the time. Added to this, I also contracted what the doctors called "sinus trouble," which they said would recur each year.

On leaving the university I went to Indianapolis to work, and while I was there a very severe attack of the sinus trouble became manifest. I went to a specialist, and he said that an operation might help me. The man with whom I was working, though not a Scientist, suggested that I try Christian Science. He gave me the name of a practitioner, whom I went to see. Great was my surprise and joy when, while I was walking down the street after leaving the practitioner's office, a great weight seemed to be lifted from me and I realized I was healed.
