In the year 1904 I received my first healing in Christian Science. Because I was a clergyman's wife and two other members of my family who lived near by were physicians, I had little or no experience or knowledge of Christian Science.

Ten days before our third child was born, I experienced several sinking spells a day. The nurse we had employed was a Christian Scientist. On one occasion during this interval our twenty-one months old son came to my bedside. This awakened me to the seriousness of my condition. I asked the nurse, "Am I going to live?" She replied that Christian Science could help me. I told her that I wanted this help, so that I might live for my children. Immediately she called a Christian Science practitioner, who came that night. For three days I rested, never having another sinking spell, and the baby girl was born. In ten days, I was about the house doing my own work.

In the year 1908 I had the privilege of becoming a member of The Mother Church, and went through class the same year. In the year 1910, I was confronted with what the physicians call a thyroid goiter. I was told that I had Addison's disease also, and that. I could not possibly live longer than six months. The Scientist to whom I appealed for help was leaving that night for an extended trip, and could give me only one treatment. Then I realized that this was a problem I was to work out for myself. I reversed every material law that was made and held to the fact that I was God's perfect reflection. I was completely healed, and actively engaged as a Christian Science practitioner three years later.
