My family became students of Christian Science when I was a very small child, and I am so grateful for the helpful experiences I have had and have witnessed during more than thirty years. There have been healings of illness, broken bones, and burns. Grief, unemployment, and lack have been overcome; and protection has been received in our traveling. Also my husband was protected from harm while overseas during his wartime service. As my husband is in the Air Force, we have had to make many moves, and we have always found new homes promptly, regardless of crowded conditions.

I should like to tell of an experience I had when our son was born seventeen years ago in Honolulu. It was my wish to have my baby at home with the aid of a Christian Science nurse and a practitioner. The law required that a physician be in attendance; so about a month before the birth I looked for a doctor who would not insist on medical treatment.

I knew none of the doctors in Honolulu, but had a list of seven names to call on. My first six calls were very unsatisfactory and discouraging. After many hours I was in tears, worn out and ready to go home.
