During my boyhood years, our family lived in a rural area where there was no Christian Science church. Thus for many years there was no apparent opportunity for us to learn about Science. A neighbor girl in our community was healed of insanity through Christian Science treatment. In gratitude for this healing, our neighbor family, along with several other families, commenced holding in their home informal services at which the Bible Lesson from the Christian Science Quarterly was read.

My father attended one of these services to learn about this religion which had been made demonstrable, a religion which had proved Christ Jesus' statement to his disciples in John (14:12), "Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father." This was the advent of Christian Science into our home.

I wish to share with others a healing I had through the application of the truth as revealed in Christian Science. I had been bothered at various times with hemorrhoids for a period of about ten years, but had not yet awakened to the fact that as a student of Christian Science I should gain the realization of the unreality of this inharmonious condition. Then one night I found myself in such severe pain that I was unable to sleep. I realized that here was an opportunity for me to apply the truth which I had been learning in Christian Science, to behold the perfect man, made in God's image and likeness.
