In what better way could a student of Christian Science spend a part of her ninetieth birthday than in recounting some of the blessings received throughout fifty-nine years of the study and practice of the teachings of our Way-shower, Christ Jesus, the method of whose works was revealed by God through Mary Baker Eddy!

I first heard of Christian Science through the healings experienced by my father of a longstanding illness and of the use of tobacco, a habit he had tried in vain to overcome by will power. Although he was unwilling to give up his orthodox beliefs and take up the study of Christian Science, I saw what had been done for him and wanted that same help.

Opposition to and hatred of Christian Science ran high through those early years. At one time we were threatened with prosecution if we did not employ a doctor during a siege of typhoid-pneumonia which one of our little girls had. One doctor wrote an article for our county paper saying that nothing was being done for her. He later wrote another acknowledging that the fever was broken, but prophesying that the child would always be an idiot. That child has just completed her twenty-ninth consecutive year of teaching in our high school. This is only one of the countless healings we have had.
