My first contact with Christian Science...

My first contact with Christian Science was not for physical healing. My mother was interested in this religion, and occasionally I went with her to see a Christian Science practitioner and at her request read the Lesson-Sermon in the Christian Science Quarterly to her every morning.

At that time we had a seven-Year-old daughter who had always been considered a delicate child. She had difficulty in digesting food, and finally at a critical time, when the doctors were unable to help her, I decided to have Christian Science treatment and took her to see a practitioner. The practitioner calmed my fears, and later that day the child ate food that she had not been able to eat without experiencing difficulty. There were no ill effects, and that was the end of the stomach trouble.

Later our daughter had diphtheria, and I asked a practitioner to help her. A doctor was called to report the case to the Board of Health, and I told him that she was having Christian Science treatment. The child was healed quickly and permanently, and there were no aftereffects.
