For the daily unfoldment of good...

For the daily unfoldment of good in my experience through the study and application of Christian Science I am indeed most grateful.

I became interested in this Science through overhearing a conversation between two neighbors, one of whom was a Christian Scientist. I heard the Scientist tell of the healing of a relative of tuberculosis in its advanced stages, and I felt an irresistible urge to know more of this wonderful religion, which heals on the same basis that Jesus healed. Later I learned of the Christian Science textbook, Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy, which I immediately secured and began to study. I lived hourly with this book, carrying it about with me as I performed my household tasks and leading it long into the night. I pondered its every statement. A wonderful new world was unfolding to me, and how happy I was to learn of a God who is Love and who does not afflict His children!

I was under the care of a physician, and an operation was pending. I was also enduring great mental anguish because of the condition of our little daughter, who had had infantile paralysis at the age of one year. After having much medical treatment from both nerve and orthopedic specialists, we were informed that nothing more could be done for her and that she probably would never walk. Help from a Christian Science practitioner was asked for our baby, and treatment was lovingly taken up. Almost immediately improvement began. Growth was evident, and soon we were able to lay aside the heavy brace she had been wearing to strengthen her limb. Later she took her first steps, and soon she was leading a normal life, roller skating, swimming, and dancing.
