In the summer of 1928 I was in the midst of a mental upheaval. Things were so chaotic that sleep was almost impossible day or night for three months, abd I could see nothing ahead of me but to die. I lost weight and could not direct a single thought. I had a dear neighbor who was a Christian Science practitioner, and one morning I asked her if people who were as hopeless as I could be healed in Science. She said, "Many others in seemingly worse conditions have been healed, so why not you?" That night I went to my first Wednesday evening testimony meeting, and by the time I reached home all the anguish had left and I slept all night. The next day about noon the old torment began again, but I had experienced enough to know that Christian Science was what I wanted. After about six months

I was entirely normal, able to do anything required of me. All my life I had suffered from indigestion and constipation, but I was also freed from these ailments at this time and they have never returned. My little son has been healed of a severe form of eczema, colds, chicken pox, whooping cough, and other discords.

A recent healing for which I am exceedingly grateful was of scarlet fever. The little boy manifested a rather tenacious form of this disease. He was not in bed a day, though he passed through a period of delirium, and on the third day he was completely healed. He suffered no aftereffects. To comply with the law we were quarantined. In three weeks, when the health authorities were ready to grant our release, I manifested all the symptoms. A week later I was scheduled to sing solo parts in a Christmas cantata and had a rehearsal due previous to the performance. I called the practitioner who had previously helped us and told her I knew the disease was no more real with me than with the boy, and I felt sure nothing could keep me from doing that which was necessary and right. The trouble lasted for three days, without any fever, then for ten minutes I felt the full force of the error, yet was able to look at it fearlessly, as one apart; then it was as if a voice said, You have seen enough of this, you need not see more; and with that the discord vanished from my consciousness. The quarantine was lifted the following day, and I was able to fulfill my engagement. All said that they had never heard me sing better.
