Mrs. Eddy says in "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" (p. 520), "Human language can repeat only an infinitesimal part of what exists." I feel that I can never tell in words of the peace and satisfaction which I have found in the study of Christian Science. I was raised among ministers and their families, but the questions naturally arising from hearing church doctrines constantly discussed were never satisfactorily answered until I became a studetn of Christian Science. After marrying and moving to Oklahoma I grew away from my former church entirely, but never lost my interest in religious philosophy.

A friend was healed of a very serious condition through a Christian Science practitioner's help. Soon after this our youngest son became alarmingly ill with infantile paralysis. I called the practitioner whom my friend had had, and she gave him absent treatments. From the first treatment there was no more pain. My husband had sent for a physician, who asked for a specialist from the city. When I called on the practitioner I told my husband we could not give the child any medicine, and he said, "The doctor says there is no medicine that can help him anyway." Three days later the specialist called again. He said he was not calling professionally, but he was in town and just wanted to see how the little fellow was. He examined him thoroughly, and left saying, "It is remarkable; he certainly is a well little boy." One foot dragged somewhat for a few weeks, but he soon became normal.

Before becoming a student of Christian Science I had to be healed of a prejudice against Mrs. Eddy. The same practitioner gave me "The Life of Mary Baker Eddy" by Sibyl Wilbur to read, and told me the circumstances of her writing it. The reading of that book healed me of my prejudice.
