Violet Carr Hall

Christian Science first came into my life over half a century ago, when I was a small child. Since then it has met my every need, physically, mentally, morally, and spiritually.

My first physical healing was that of asthma. This difficulty made it impossible for me to take active exercise like other children and made my early years very unhappy. I attended a Christian Science Sunday School and had treatment from the nearest practitioner, who was in another town. However, for some time there appeared to be no improvement at all in my condition.

One evening, after I had spent a week in bed with bronchitis, my stepfather, who was not a Christian Scientist, insisted that a doctor should be called to see me. My mother replied that if I were no better in the morning, she would send for a doctor. She then came to me and said we had just one night in which to prove that Christian Science heals the sick. She said that she would help me but that I must do my part by thinking as I had been taught to do in the Sunday School. At first a great sense of responsibility engulfed me, and I felt that our whole movement depended on my being a true witness of God's healing power!
