When our daughter was young, she became very ill, and a doctor was called. Several days went by, and the condition worsened. The doctor then called in a colleague, who confirmed his diagnosis of spinal meningitis. We were told the child must undergo a spinal tap, or she would not live through the night. I refused and asked them to leave.

As soon as they had gone, I turned to my husband and told him this was an opportunity to prove to me what Christian Science could do. He had attended a Christian Science Sunday School as a child and had related healings he had had through the application of the truths taught; however, at this time I was very much opposed to what I believed Science to be.

Immediately he got in touch with a former Sunday School teacher of his, who began prayerful work for the child. The spasms ceased almost immediately. Soon she fell into a natural sleep; and she awakened in the morning completely free from any evidence of illness or weakness, and there were no aftereffects. Indeed, absolute proof of the healing power of Christian Science had been given.
