Through membership in The Mother Church and a branch church and through the daily study of the Bible Lessons from the Christian Science Quarterly, I have found the way to harmonious living. I first became interested in Christian Science when several physicians gave me no hope for the recovery of our ten-year-old daughter from pernicious anemia. She was bedfast at the time.

One day, when the symptoms were very alarming, I ran to see my neighbor, who was a Christian Scientist. She came to our daughter's bedside, kneeled down, and began to repeat the Lord's Prayer. I left the room and do not know what else took place, but the child was healed while the neighbor was praying for her. There was no more dieting. She gained strength daily; and to the surprise of her friends, she was back in school within two weeks' time.

In spite of this healing, it was not until five years later that I became a student of Christian Science. I had become ill with what had been diagnosed as an incurable condition. At the same time, our thirteen-year-old son was daily growing worse with bronchial asthma. The help of a Christian Science practitioner was sought, and one morning I sat at my desk and wrote out "the scientific statement of being," found on page 468 of "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy. Due to my darkened thought, this took the entire morning. When I had finished, however, I felt stronger mentally and more ready to study and apply the truths of Christian Science.
