I became interested in Christian Science over thirty years ago after a brother had been healed of tuberculosis. I did not take up the study of this Science for a physical healing, although I was very much in need of it, but only because I had promised this brother to read Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy.

I read very reluctantly at first: then as I began to understand it I became intensely interested. After I had studied for a very short time I found myself entirely free from organic trouble which I had thought only an operation could cure. This healing was the result of my being freed from what I had thought the word "devil" to mean, thus removing from my thought a burden that I had carried from my earliest recollection.

On page 369 of Science and Health we read. "The prophylactic and therapeutic (that is, the preventive and curative) arts belong emphatically to Christian Science, as would be readily seen, if psychology, or the Science of Spirit, God, was understood." While I am very grateful for all the healings I have seen as a result of Science treatment, I am especially so for the prevention of many errors. My two sons went through grade school without ever having any of the so-called children's diseases, and only in one instance, when the older son was in high school, was there such a difficulty to be overcome.
