My husband and I had been searching for years for a religion which would express the allness of God and be to us a guide in daily life. We were also anxious to be able to pass on to our children such a religion, a faith which would give them comfort and help them in solving problems.

Eventually we heard of Christian Science, and I am sincerely grateful for all it has revealed to me through study of the textbook, Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy. Whenever I have been willing to let go of material thinking and to acknowledge God's power and presence, my life has been blessed.

Shortly after hearing of this Science one of our children became seriously ill. In compliance with the law in England concerning children under sixteen, we had called a doctor, who diagnosed the illness as pneumonia. He said he could not promise the child would recover. No medicine or material aid was given. When the doctor withdrew, my husband went to the home of a Christian Science practitioner. Although it was midnight, this dear friend came to our home and promised us her help. She gave the child treatment and helped us overcome our fear. The boy recovered within two or three days. The doctor who had diagnosed the illness referred to this healing as a miracle.
