I thank God for the wonderful healing of our eldest daughter through Christian Science.

In April, 1936, the child became ill with scarlet fever. Since I was not yet interested in Christian Science, we consulted a doctor. He ordered that she be taken to the hospital at once, because there was a younger child at home. During the first three weeks in the hospital the child had measles also. I was not allowed to see her for the next two weeks, but was told that she was getting along well. However, I was allowed to look at her through a crack in the door. I was shocked, for her little head was completely bandaged. The nurse said that she also had a serious inflammation of the middle ear. I then asked to see my child and speak to her, and was permitted to do so.

She recognized me, but she did not answer any of my questions. I went home much troubled. The next morning my husband was asked to go to the hospital immediately, for our daughter had had an attack. He came home, and told me gently that the child appeared to be dying, and that the doctors and nurses had no hope for her.
