While in the United States on a business trip more than fifty years ago, my father mailed home the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy. My mother, who had for some time been an invalid under the constant care of a medical nurse, was quickly and permanently healed through her study of this textbook.

At that time we knew of no other students of Christian Science in Australia. After the healing of my mother, the writings of our Leader, Mrs. Eddy, and literature from The Christian Science Publishing Society were sent for and received by a number of persons in this country. Many very fine healings were brought about simply through the reading of the textbook. As the result of this healing work, services were commenced in my parents' home. This was the beginning of great spiritual growth in the community.

My husband and I have had many valuable experiences in bringing up our two children. Scarlet fever, pneumonia, appendicitis, broken bones, and typhoid fever have been quickly healed. One healing which stands out as a helpful experience was that of influenza. I had been confined to my bed for several days, and although I had worked prayerfully to break the mesmerism of this condition, the healing was not evidenced.
