My little daughter, four years old, was suffering with mastoiditis. I had called in a physician, who treated her for several weeks, at the end of which time he said she would have to be operated on immediately. It was then that I called for a Christian Science practitioner, who was very kind to me. That was a happy day for me. At once I became very much interested and began reading the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy. My child was completely healed in a few days.

I visited the Science Reading Rooms and borrowed "The Life of Mary Baker Eddy" by Sibyl Wilbur. Christian Science opened a new world to me. The more I read of Science the better I understood God. I had been reared by religious parents and had been a member of the Methodist church since I was eighteen years old. Through earnest study of Christian Science my own health improved. I was also healed of what physicians called high blood pressure and leakage of the heart.

In November, 1935, I met with an accident. An X-ray examination showed that the ligaments were torn from my knee, and that the knee was fractured. A physician placed it in a plaster cast. The doctor stated that it would have to be in the cast for two months, and I should have to walk with crutches from one to two years after the cast was removed. A Christian Science practitioner was called to help me. In five weeks the cast was removed, and I never used the crutches after that time. I got up and walked into another room without either crutch or cane. For some time previous to this accident I had been passing through a financial strait. I had worried, wondering how our human needs would be supplied. It has been proved to me that divine Love does meet all needs. I am grateful for the lessons learned during the trials through which I passed. These proofs of God's sustaining power are invaluable to me.
