When I was a boy of about eleven years of age, I witnessed my mother's healing of great pain resulting from an ulcerated tooth. This healing, brought about through the assistance of a Christian Science practitioner, was almost instantaneous, and, young as I was, I distinctly remember saying to myself with conviction, "Christian Science does heal the sick."

In the years since then that conviction has been confirmed again and again, for I myself have been healed of physical ailments through Christian Science. Some years ago, while on a visit to the Pacific Coast, I was taken ill with pneumonia, and the condition became so severe that I began to despair of recovery. I then sent a telegram to a Christian Science practitioner three thousand miles away, asking her to give me treatment. In about half an hour there was a great feeling of relief, the dark cloud of hopelessness vanished, and in a comparatively short time I was healed.

This healing was sacred in itself, but what stands out most vividly in memory is the conviction that accompanied the cure, namely that I had experienced the healing touch of the blessed Christ.
