When I was a small child, my mother took up the study of Christian Science. In the first week of treatment by a Christian Science practitioner she was healed of cancer. I am so grateful for having had the privilege of attending a Christian Science Sunday School. This training gave me the basis on which to go forward.

I have had many wonderful demonstrations and experiences in Christian Science. One for which I am most grateful is the harmonious birth of our little son, which took place in our home with a Christian Science practitioner and nurse in attendance; no medical thought, and no one connected with it, was present. The child was born in the afternoon; I was sitting up in bed that evening, was up for breakfast the next morning, and went about regularly from then on. This experience took place over three years ago. I am grateful for the practitioner and nurse, and for the loving co-operation and steadfastness of my husband.

We had a wonderful experience of protection over two years ago when a tornado swept through our neighborhood. We were in our home, and truly divine Mind governed, for we knew what we needed to know when we needed to know it. My husband and I voiced truths of God and man aloud during this illusion of raging elements. The first and second verses from the ninety-first Psalm were a great help to us: "He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty, I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust;" also the lines from "The Mother's Evening Prayer" (Poems, p. 4) by Mrs. Eddy,
