It is with gratitude that I tell you of "good tidings of great joy," for the truths of Christian Science have led me to "where the young child was" (the spiritual sense of being), and freed me from much bondage.

Christian Science was introduced into our home by my grandparents, who were then nearly fourscore years of age. My grandmother had served as a nurse in the Civil War, so the family was amazed when almost overnight she swept away all the bottles of medicine that lined her dresser and from that day on relied absolutely on Christian Science.

My first definite healing in Christian Science was release from severe attacks of sick headache, from which I had suffered since early childhood. My parents believed that my studies were too much for me, and they always expected me to have a bad attack at the end of the school week. I generally lived up to their expectations. Strong drugs were administered which gave me only temporary relief and usually left me in a weakened condition.
