After joining the Auxiliary Territorial Service during the Second World War, I was taken ill with tuberculosis and sent to a military hospital. There I was told that my condition was very serious and that I would have to undergo medical observation. I asked a Christian Science practitioner for help and prayed to be shown what I needed to know to be free. On opening a Sentinel, I found my answer in these words quoted in the "Signs of the Times" column: "Do the truth you know and you shall learn the truth you need to know."

I was transferred by military command to four different hospitals. A major operation was unsuccessful, and when a second was suggested I asked if I might be released from the hospital. My request was refused, but I was allowed one month's leave, and I went to stay with a friend who was an earnest student of Christian Science.

The Christian Science practitioner who had been working for me helped me to realize the nothingness of the disease and the fact that because God never made it, it could not be a part of His reflection, man. During the month's stay with my friend, my consciousness was filled with an understanding conviction that God is the only power, and I was completely healed. On my return to the hospital numerous X rays and other tests were taken, and they showed no trace of the diseased condition. I was soon released and returned to duty. The doctors were unable to account for my recovers'. This healing has remained permanent.
