When I think of how beautifully I have been cared for, how sweetly I have been led, throughout the years of my life, I am filled with deep and humble gratitude to God for His goodness.

It has been my blessed privilege to be brought up in Christian Science, my father having been healed of a so-called fatal disease some years before I was born. Upon my healing in infancy, my mother's faith in Christian Science was confirmed, and from that day she became its student and for many years devoted her life to its practice.

In spite of gloomy prognostications that I would never grow to womanhood, I did and have raised a family and am now a grandmother. My second child was born in the home of a Christian Science nurse. All went well until the eve of my return home, when I was stricken with childbed fever and seemed to be passing on. Through the consecrated work of my teacher in Christian Science, my mother, and the nurse, this condition was met within a few hours, and I returned home with my little son the following day. Some months later a severe case of what seemed to be typhoid fever, although it was not diagnosed, was quickly healed.
