My introduction to Christian Science...

Mildred R. Hollien

My introduction to Christian Science came through a friend of my mother who had been healed of the need of a major operation. Whenever she visited our home, she talked a great deal about Science and explained some of its teachings. During my childhood I was subject to an illness which confined me to my home each year for two weeks in the spring and fall and which the doctors could not diagnose.

When I was in my teens I started to go to business, and one day I became ill with all the symptoms of the previous illness. I became frightened and thought I would lose my position if I had to stay home from business as I had to stay home from business as I had had to stay home from school.

At that point I decided to visit my mother's friend and ask her if she thought Christian Science could heal me. She replied that it certainly could, and she gave me a treatment. She asked me what I thought God was; and I told her that He must be very far away, for He never seemed to answer my prayers. She then explained that God is everywhere and has all power. The next morning I was much better, and within a few days my healing was complete. I never had a recurrence of that illness.
