A dear friend, apparently on the point of passing on while under medical treatment, turned to Christian Science; and it was the wonderful benefit which she received that aroused my deep interest in the subject. Another friend, who had witnessed this same case, began to study at about the same time (early in 1918); and now, neither of us would know how to get along without this beautiful religion.

While I did not take up the study of Christian Science for physical healing, many healings have been experienced. A throat trouble of some twenty years' standing disappeared; fear of disease, which had made me very wretched on many occasions, was overcome; a case of mumps yielded to Christian Science treatment in a very few days; and numberless other difficulties have been met and overcome, sometimes through the help of a loving practitioner, and often through my own understanding.

I should like to mention a healing which took place when I was very young in Science. With a friend I was staying in a hotel about a hundred miles from home. The last evening of our stay, I began to feel very ill. Ptomaine poisoning seemed in evidence, with much pain and nausea. My friend was not a Christian Scientist; but after asking if she could do anything for me she very considerately let me alone, and I worked as best I knew. To please a member of my family, I had put in my suitcase when leaving home a bottle of tablets supposed to be good for indigestion, and error kept reminding me that I might try one of these. That suggestion was finally overcome and, later, I felt much better and got some sleep. We were to take the one-hundred-mile train trip next day, and evidently I let a little fear creep in, for next morning I was still pretty much under the weather. However, I ate a little breakfast, and shortly afterwards I suddenly realized that I was healed. At the proper time I was able to take my train and make the journey home, for which I was deeply grateful.
