As a direct answer to prayer, I was led to enroll my children in the Sunday School of a Christian Science Society which was then being formed in our town. At that time we were attending a church of another denomination, but my last doubts concerning sending the children to the Christian Science Sunday School vanished after I had asked what exactly they would be taught, and received the reply, "They will learn to love the Bible and how to use it in their daily lives."

Although I did not immediately take up the study of this Science myself, I soon realized how wrong it was for me to encourage the children to follow the teachings of Christian Science and then to call a doctor when they were ailing. I reasoned that if the way had been made clear for them, it was meant for me too. Since that time, over sixteen years ago, I have never looked back.

Soon after I made the decision to rely on Christian Science, my son fell ill with a fever. Feeling that this was an opportunity to put my good resolutions into practice, I started reading the textbook, and I did little else that day. As the truth gradually dawned on me that Love is ever present and that there is in reality nothing to fear, the fever abated. All the other symptoms, which appeared to be those of scarlet fever then prevalent at the school my son was attending, also disappeared.
