When one of our daughters was an infant she became ill with an intestinal disorder, and for several years she was under the care of physicians of broad experience and fine reputations. They were generous in their interest and care. However, they could not find a remedy, and the difficulty continued. In a moment of discouragement I expressed to a friend our disappointment. She commented, "Since you have given medical science a long, fair trial with no success, why don't you look into Christian Science? I have heard of healings through its teachings."

The mere thought of there being something else to turn to impelled me to telephone to the only Christian Scientist of whom I knew in the small community where we lived. I introduced myself and asked if I could call on her, as I thought she could be of help to us in a difficult situation. She graciously said she would be glad to have me call at my convenience. I went to her home at once and spent several hours listening to the truth, which opened up to me new avenues of thinking.

She talked of love for God, the ever-present Father-Mother; of spiritual understanding that made one willing to trust Him wholly; and of the relationship between God and His children. When I returned to our home, I selected the name of a practitioner from several she had given me, and I wrote to him. In his answer he poured out much love and understanding of our need. Within a week our daughter was free from the disorder. The healing was complete, and the illness has never returned.
