I should like to relate an experience which stands out to me and which proves that Christian Science heals quickly and effectively.

Some years ago when my daughter attended high school, she awakened in the night in great suffering, the nature of which brought the suggestion of poliomyelitis to my thought. Without turning on lights in the room, I declared the truth audibly to her. After praying for some time, we came to that time of day which is known as "the darkest hour before the dawn." Outside it was as black as I have ever known it to be. Just then, as though obeying someone who had lifted a baton, birds in the neighborhood began to sing lustily.

I called my daughter's attention to their song and said to her: "See how dark it is outside, but the birds know the light is coming, and they are rejoicing. Let us rejoice and express our gratitude, even though things seem so dark." Very soon the pain lessened, and she was peacefully asleep. The next day she was well. This proved to me how quickly we can be healed when the Christ enters consciousness and angels, God's thoughts, minister to us.
