I attended a Sunday service in a Church of Christ, Scientist, with my mother when I was about seven years of age. Several years later I heard my first Christian Science lecture. The sermons I had listened to in the church attended by my family were to my young mind never fully finished. They seemed to lack something, but the lecture satisfied me; and after I started going to the Christian Science Sunday School in 1907, I soon found out what made the difference. It was the healing brought out in Christian Science. I learned that this religion is a practical one. Soon after we began attending the local Church of Christ, Scientist, I laid aside my eyeglasses.

One of my early healings was that of a very disagreeable throat condition I had had since childhood. One morning I decided that I had been in bondage to the trouble long enough, and I literally stamped my foot, saying to myself, "I am through being in bondage." I also dropped all fear. In about a week I realized that I was healed. There never has been any return of the condition.

A healing that was slow in coming but meant much to me was the overcoming of an extreme nervous condition of long standing. After this I was able to do many things that I never could have done without the healing. I also experienced a quick healing of acute indigestion. My mother called a Christian Science practitioner about four o'clock in the afternoon and again during the night, as I was suffering very much. I soon fell asleep and awakened about two hours later, entirely free in every way. That evening I was in my place as First Reader.
