When I was thirteen years of age...

Roby Binford Lytle

When I was thirteen years of age and one of nine children, my father was suddenly taken ill. At that time we knew nothing of Christian Science. A physician was called, and he summoned a colleague to assist him in diagnosing the case. The verdict was hemorrhages of the lungs in their last stages.

An uncle was visiting us at this time. He had been a student of Christian Science for many years, but had never talked about it to the family. When the case was pronounced incurable, this uncle offered Christian Science to my mother, who accepted it, but with much doubt as to the outcome. Following the departure of the physicians, a Christian Science practitioner was called. I still have a very keen remembrance of the spiritual expression and the kindly speech of this practitioner. She remained in the sick room for about an hour. Then, for the first time, in three days and nights, my father slept peacefully and normally. In four days he was completely and permanently healed. He soon returned to his work and was with us for twenty-five more years.

With the loving help of a practitioner and the consistent study of our Lesson-Sermons as given in the Christian Science Quarterly, I have been permanently healed of chronic stomach ulcers of several years' standing, pleurisy, rheumatism, and throat trouble, also of the need of wearing bifocal glasses and of ugly traits of character.
