Cecile J. Esser with contributions from John George Esser

More than twenty-five years ago Christian Science was presented to me by a neighbor who saw that doctors were not helping me. I had been in bed seven months, and two specialists said I would never be well again unless I had a very serious operation. I was afraid of an operation; so I willingly and gratefully consented to try Christian Science. My mother called a practitioner and asked for help for me. Improvement began immediately, and in three months I was doing my own work and caring for my baby.

Later, a severe case of shingles was manifested on my body. At the time there were three persons in my home who were openly opposed to Christian Science. After they were in bed, I would go downstairs and study and pray far into the night. In two weeks I was completely healed, proving that "one with God is a majority."

Several years ago a loved one passed on suddenly, and I shall never forget the love and kindness shown me by my teacher, association members, and other Christian Science friends. I felt surrounded by loving thoughtfulness, which helped in the healing of grief.
