While I was lunching with a friend one day, he noticed from my careful selection of food that I was on a diet, and I told him that I was suffering from a stomach difficulty. He said: "You don't need to be a slave to diet. I should like you to meet a friend of mine who can help you." Asking no questions, I welcomed his kindly thought and decided to visit his friend. When I arrived at the designated place, I found that this friend was a Christian Science practitioner. Even then I did not know what sort of help I was to receive, because I knew nothing of Christian Science, and my friend had not mentioned anything about it.

In the hour that followed, this practitioner became my friend as well, for he introduced me to Christian Science. He told me to eat normally, just as if I had never heard of stomach trouble. I cheerfully did this, and to my surprise there were no ill effects; but quite the contrary, for I never felt better in my life. The stomach trouble was healed, and the healing has been permanent.

Grateful for this healing and eager to know more of this religion, I attended a Christian Science Sunday morning service, where I heard about the Wednesday evening testimony meetings, and since that time it has been a rare occasion indeed for me to miss either a Sunday service or a Wednesday meeting.
