Until our son was four years old...
Until our son was four years old he was almost constantly ill. On one occasion he had a high fever, and the doctor said that there was no hope for his life. I got on my knees and prayed to God to save the child. Then I went to my store, praying all the way. When I got on my knees to arrange some goods in a floor case, I thought of our boy, and I prayed again with tears in my eyes. A woman with two small children came in. I wiped my eyes so that my tears would not be noticed, but when I got up she said, "Why, you seem to be in trouble."
I answered, "Yes, I am afraid I am going to lose my boy."
She said: "No, you can't lose your boy. Do you see these two children? One is three, and the other is five. They have never had a doctor or medicine. What God can do for my children, He can do for your boy. Your boy is God's perfect child. Do you mind if I call a Christian Science practitioner who lives across the way?" I replied that I would be glad for her to do so.
