I should like to express my gratitude to God and to our beloved Leader, Mary Baker Eddy, by testifying to the healing power of Christian Science.

A number of years ago our eldest daughter became very ill with influenza. After failing to help her by my own work, I asked for help from a practitioner. She grew steadily worse until it seemed as though she would pass on.

There was such a sense of fear and depression in the home, it was as though dark, heavy clouds were engulfing us. Her father, who is not a student of Christian Science, although kindly towards it, said: "The child will die. If she is not better by morning I shall send her to the hospital. You have tried Christian Science, and it has not helped her. Now I feel I should try something else." My heart sank, but I could see his point of view. I said, "Very well, but give us until morning, for I know that Christian Science heals!" Then I fairly ran to a telephone, asked the one who was working to cease and called another practitioner, requesting that she come to the house.
