My mother had witnessed a remarkable cure through Christian Science treatment many years before, but knew little about this religion. On her return to England, after a long period abroad, she had begun attending a branch Church of Christ, Scientist. Thus, when my health became critical again, she asked that I allow a Christian Science practitioner to visit me. I was ignorant and skeptical of Christian Science at that time and had formed unfavorable prejudices against the religion; so it was with little hope and with a feeling of condescension that I yielded to my mother's persuasions.
