In the year 1907 I first learned of Christian Science

Paulina Baumez Patton

In the year 1907 I first learned of Christian Science. My husband had a wonderful healing of stomach trouble for which we were very grateful, as he had been a sufferer for a number of years and had been unable to find relief. This made me realize that there was something in Christian Science.

I was an active member of a church, was perfectly satisfied with my way of thinking, and was in good health; so I did not think I needed Christian Science. Soon after this I was taken very suddenly ill with spinal meningitis. The physician who was called soon announced that there was no hope. Then I was asked if I would try Christian Science. I was willing, but it seemed impossible for me to get rid of the intense pain. A practitioner was called. She was most loving, and asked me if I believed God could do all things. I told her I thought He could. I fell asleep while she was with me, and to my surprise felt much better when I awoke. I slept well the next night, and in a few days was up and able to attend to my home duties.

Words cannot express my deep gratitude for the loving help of the practitioner and for God's wonderful care and healing. I have been in good health ever since, and have found Christian Science a help at all times.
