When I was about three years old, my parents took up the study of Christian Science for my healing. I was suffering from a severe case of eczema. My parents had spent all their funds on doctors, medicines, and specialists to no avail. After many months of illness, during which I grew steadily worse, I finally went into a coma, which lasted for four days.

Because the kindly family doctor had asserted that there was no hope for my recovery, my mother had been praying to God to save me. Therefore, when Christian Science was recommended, she promptly telephoned a Christian Science practitioner for help, feeling that this Science must be God's answer to her fervent prayers.

The practitioner asked that "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy be procured immediately, and that my mother put in as much time as possible that day reading it. The practitioner also asked that I be brought to her office the following day. This request filled my mother with indignation, because she felt the practitioner did not appreciate the seriousness of my condition. The practitioner assured her that all things are possible to God, and that she would be able to comply with the request.
