In 1929 I learned of Christian Science through an acquaintance. I was weighed down with grief and was particularly grateful for the comfort Christian Science offers. I grew quieter and looked upon the future with more confidence.

One day I was taken seriously ill. I had severe pains in my head and could not retain any food. In a few days my mother, being fearful, called a doctor, who could not diagnose the case. My condition kept getting much worse, and the doctor could not help me.

Then my mother asked a Christian Science practitioner with whom we had become acquainted at the church services for help. He came and began to work for me at once. When he said good-by, he added, "As far as I am concerned, you may get up and eat whatever there is to eat." That was early in the afternoon. I fell asleep immediately; and on awakening from a deep and peaceful sleep, I felt wonderfully refreshed and as though something terrible had dropped from me. The sense of dizziness had gone; above all, the pains in my head had completely disappeared, and I could sit up alone. A few hours later I ate a good meal and was able to retain it. The next day I was strong enough to get up and go to my place of business for a short time.
