I have had many physical and other healings in Christian Science

George Garland with contributions from Edith Payson Sedan

I have had many physical and other healings in Christian Science. But extreme pain over a prolonged period of days is a problem I had not encountered until recently.

As a young man, shortly after graduation from college, I learned of Christian Science and joined the church. Over the decades since, I have from time to time had inquirers ask me to give "a reason of the hope that is in [me]" (I Pet. 3:15). Occasionally my inquirer would say, "But what would you do if you had acute appendicitis?" This is an iffy question, and I usually answered boldly, but never until 1964 did I have such an emergency to face.
