I was introduced to Christian Science about twenty-six years ago by a friend after I had told her that my mother, who was very ill, had experienced a stroke and was unable to move her arm and leg. This friend spoke to me of Science and said it could heal my mother. She loaned me a copy of the textbook by our Leader, Mrs. Eddy.

I took my mother to a practitioner's office, and treatment was asked for. A short time later my mother was able to move her hand and to walk more freely, and sometime later she could lift her hand above her head and walk as freely as before.

While she was deeply grateful for her healing, she did not continue in the study of Science. However, I continued to read the textbook, and although I had no physical difficulty to overcome, I became very much interested in the new understanding of God that I was gaining—something I had never had before. I found characteristics I was supposed to have inherited from my father dropping away.
