It is with deep gratitude and love...

It is with deep gratitude and love for God that I wish to relate a healing I had through Christian Science which caused me to turn to the earnest study of this wonderful religion. Because I had known only Christian Science in the home as a child, the seed was planted, but it seemed to lie dormant for a number of years after I was first married. I let myself be led to follow beliefs of materia medica until I had spent some time in a tuberculosis sanatorium and was taking continued treatment after returning home.

Finally, during a routine X-ray examination, three doctors of the chest clinic in a very large hospital informed me that a certain condition was present and that an operation for the removal of either seven or eight ribs or possibly my whole lung would have to be performed in order to eliminate the disorder.

This news upset me greatly. I did not want to go back to a hospital, leave my family, or submit to an operation, but they set the surgery date and requested me to come back in one week for further X rays. My mother was visiting us at the time and said only one thing, that I pondered over and over. She said, "I don't like to see you have an operation, dear, when you don't have to."
