When I was a young boy my mother was healed in one week of a heart condition that had been pronounced incurable by materia medica. Within a fortnight thereafter I experienced my first healing through the inspired prayerful work of my mother, the result of her own healing. A severe attack of tonsillitis was very quickly healed. I retired in great distress, but with her assurance that God would care for me, I awoke after a restful night, completely free.

Young as I was, these two demonstrations of God's power made a deep and lasting impression. From that time on, I have relied on Christian Science to solve problems of every kind. My introduction to it took place in 1905, and in the succeeding years there have been healings of influenza, dislocated joints, hernia, and other conditions too numerous to mention in this testimony.

A recent experience exemplified for me, as it had never been exemplified before, the truth and wisdom in Mrs. Eddy's statement, "Trials are proofs of God's care" (Science and Health, p. 66). What at first seemed to be a pimple developed into an unsightly growth, and I became very fearful. Upon consulting a Christian Science practitioner, I was very soon freed from the fear of malignity. However, the sore did not heal.
