In January, 1933, I fell seriously ill with what is called double pneumonia, accompanied by very high fever. I refused every medical help, but as my state grew worse, a doctor from a neighboring town was called in without my knowledge, according to the wish of my mother. He declared that all his help was useless, and gave to my dear ones no hope whatever for my recovery. My only hope was my strong faith in God, in His love and might. I asked that a telegram be sent to a Christian Science practitioner in Prague. The practitioner took up work for me, and after five weeks of her selfless and faithful work, during which many errors had to be overcome, I was completely healed.

Words fail to express my deep gratitude to God for Christian Science, for my healing, for the love of the practitioner, and of all the friends who in some way have helped me to gain the understanding that God is Life, Truth, and Love, and that the earth is full of His mercy. I am also very grateful for our beloved Leader, Mary Baker Eddy, and for her loving work.
