That Christian Science has helped me in every circumstance when rightly applied, there is no doubt. It has cast out excessive fear and replaced it with confidence and trust; it has healed me of chronic ill-health to such an extent that when I have met people who have not seen me for some years they have spoken of how well I look, in contrast to my appearance when last they saw me; it has overcome in one night pain which had seemed severe for some months; it has given me a basis upon which to build up a business; and it has changed my entire outlook.

In 1936 I experienced an almost instantaneous healing, which occurred just after Christmas Day. It was the third day I had been in bed. I was unable to read, eat, or sleep, and seemed to be getting very weak; in fact, the condition appeared critical. That morning my brother telephoned to a Christian Science practitioner, who commenced working for me at once, and immediately there was some improvement. The practitioner came to see me that afternoon and we had a talk, during which he reminded me that there is no evil mind, because God, good, is the only Mind.

When the practitioner had left me I felt hungry, and began eating food which I had not been previously able to eat, and within half an hour I got up, dressed, and went downstairs to the other members of the family. The next morning, which was Sunday, I went to the church service as usual.
