To all who may be wondering if Christian Science heals, I am happy to be able to answer, It does. I can no longer delay expressing my gratitude through our periodicals in the hope that the proof of the healing power of divine Principle in my own experience may encourage some other sincere seeker.

My mother took up the study of Christian Science in 1900, a number of years before my birth. It was the only physician known in our home, and with the help of its ministrations I was brought safely through many attacks of childhood diseases, notably several attacks of measles followed by pneumonia. Despite my knowledge of the healing power of Truth, I grew up with a feeling of intense resistance to it, and upon coming of age I united with a Protestant church and on different occasions sought the aid of a physician. May I say here to any parent who may be confronted with a similar situation: Fear not. The seed of Truth is planted in the consciousness of your dear one, and when the need is sufficiently great, he will obediently return to his Father's house.

That great need came early in my life, and I turned confidently to the Bible and Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy for help, but not for physical healing. However, during the first year of my study and without assistance from a practitioner, I was healed of periodic hemorrhages and astigmatism. There followed shortly the perfectly harmonious settling of an estate which had become involved in a tangled mass of details and had defied all my human efforts. This was a surprise to me. I had known that Christian Science could heal physical disease, but now I had learned that it could be applied to all manner of discord. The practitioner who helped with this beautiful healing won my eternal gratitude.
