It is with deep gratitude that I recount my first healing in Christian Science.

After a week's treatment by a Christian Science practitioner, I was healed of a condition which a physician had said would require a surgical operation. I was ten years old at the time, and during these ten years my life had been despaired of many times. A year before my healing in Christian Science, I had been operated upon for a similar ailment. Fearing another operation, my mother followed the recommendation of a friend and called a Christian Science practitioner for help. Through the healing was complete in a week, it was a week accompanied by doubts and fears on the part of members of my family, with the exception of my mother. She took me to the practitioner without even opening the bottle of tonic the doctor had sent to build me up for the operation which he expected would take place. She held unwaveringly to the truths the practitioner told her, though she had never heard of Christian Science before, and though the physical condition seemed, at first, to grow worse.

After the healing, we realized that I had also been healed during this week of the necessity of wearing exceptionally strong glasses. The optometrist had said they would often have to be changed for stronger ones, and that I should become blind, while still very young. I have never needed glasses since. At the same time a sever ear trouble which had occurred at regular intervals disappeared. Since that first experience with Christian Science I have expressed my true heritage of health.
