When I was three years old,...

Hazel M. Reeves with contributions from Elizabeth Cailland

When I was three years old, my parents took up Christian Science as a religion. However, just through reading "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mrs. Eddy my brother was healed of what the doctors thought to be chronic constipation, and my mother, who had been told that an immediate operation was imperative, found that it was unnecessary when she was examined by the same doctor a month later. This doctor told my mother that in all the years of his experience he had never seen anything like it, for the healing was complete.

From then on, for over thirty-eight years, Christian Science has been our only physician. I have been healed of blood poisoning, yellow jaundice, abscessed teeth, mastoiditis, a dislocated hip, an extreme case of tonsillitis, and difficulty in breathing. Having been brought up in Christian Science, I am not acquainted with the names of some other diseases of which I was healed.

Need of supply has been wonderfully met, in several instances so quickly that the need was hardly felt before it was supplied. Children's diseases were very few in our family, but those we had were quickly conquered. My own small son has been healed, many times instantaneously, of every disease that manifested itself on him.

During the war years I drove a car for a local concern and was protected many times from accidents. However, just before I quit this job, a car ran into me, almost demolishing both cars. Although I was knocked unconscious for a couple of seconds, I was able to continue my route in another car with no ill effects. For all these opportunities to prove Christian Science, I am indeed grateful.

I am grateful too for the privilege of teaching in the Christian Science Sunday School, for membership in The Mother Church and in a branch church, for our beloved Leader, Mrs. Eddy, and for the practitioners all over the world who are ready to help when called upon.—(Mrs.) Hazel M. Reeves, Long Beach, California.

I wish to corroborate my daughter's testimony. Both my healing and my son's were complete. Through the years I have had some wonderful healings, such as those of heart trouble and inflammatory rheumatism, and an instantaneous one of pneumonia. For this I am grateful to God, to Christ Jesus, and to our beloved Leader, Mrs. Eddy. I also wish to express my gratitude to our practitioners, who are always so willing to help us. —(Mrs.) Elizabeth Cailland.
