When a child I wanted to be able to heal as Jesus did, and later, when I heard that Christian Science was a religion that practiced his teachings of healing, I was eager to learn of it. I had much faith, and the understanding I gradually gained I was able to use in a practical way in bringing up a family of my own. My four children were all born through the help of Christian Science. The doctor in attendance at the birth of one child said he never had seen such a harmonious birth. Splintered bones have been healed in less than a week, and a broken collarbone was healed instantaneously when I realized that a sling was a material aid and refrained from using it.

At one time my son spilled a kettle of boiling water on his feet. I read the weekly Lesson-Sermon in the Christian Science Quarterly to him, and by the time I had finished he was completely free from pain. He dressed and ran to school. The material evidence had entirely disappeared by the next day, and he was entirely free.

When a tiny baby, our eldest daughter was healed of pneumonia, an itch which covered her whole body, and a bad rupture in one treatment by a practitioner. My husband and I were both healed of an itch at the same time. Another child, when a baby, had a severe case of pneumonia. When I left the house to call a practitioner, it was doubtful that he would be alive when I returned. The practitioner calmed my fear, and I left the telephone office greatly uplifted. When I arrived home, my son was sitting up, and by evening he was on the floor playing.
