When I was sixteen years old, a cousin whom I was visiting was seized with a very painful abdominal condition. She requested that I read aloud to her from "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy. Just a few moments after I had finished reading, she arose from her bed and went into the kitchen. When I went in, I found her doing some chores and singing. I was pleased and wondered how such a great change could take place in so short a time, but I did not question her.

A few years later, after a major operation, I was suffering and could get no help from physicians. I was confused, could not sleep properly, and felt very nervous and without hope. At a sanatorium where I was having special baths, massages, and diet, I was advised by a friend to try Christian Science. The seed had been sown in the experience with my cousin in earlier years, and as I recalled her healing I knew that Christian Science was just the thing for me.

An appointment was made with a practitioner, and I gratefully accepted the truths he gave me. The result was an instantaneous healing. When I left his office, I felt as if I were walking on air. I slept soundly after that time and was very soon taking a secretarial course, which led to an office position.
