Christian Science came into my life at a time when I was extremely ill and had been given up by an eminent physician. I was healed of nervous prostration, heart trouble, yearly spells of hay fever, and many other ills. These healings came through my studying the Lesson-Sermons in the Christian Science Quarterly, attending the church services and the lectures, and reading the periodicals, especially The Christian Science Monitor. A testimony of these healings was printed in The Christian Science Journal of May, 1929.

When I was quite young in Christian Science, I was returning home with my two-year-old daughter after a wonderful afternoon visit with a friend who was a practitioner. While driving on a busy street during the supper rush hour, I made a left-hand turn, and the car door flew open. The baby rolled out into the path of oncoming traffic. I instantly knew that there are no accidents in divine Mind, and I felt very sure of God's protection and nearness. I drove the car to the curb, then ran towards the child, who was lying in the slush. I picked her up and walked back to the car. We sang praises to God all the way home, and all was well; there was not the slightest mark of any kind on the child.
