In 1939, my husband was desperately ill and had tried all the remedies suggested by doctors near and far. One doctor told him a change of climate was the only thing that could help him. He was employed at a large store, and in his department he came in daily contact with a man whose wife was a Christian Science practitioner. One evening we were invited to their home, and much to my surprise the wife made this statement: "There is no need for you to leave here a sick man tonight." I grasped very little of her meaning, but my husband in desperation began to have Christian Science treatment and also purchased the textbook, Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy.

In 1940, we left our home and moved to another state. En route, my husband was completely healed of asthma, the condition which had troubled him. However, we did not understand or acknowledge that this was a healing in Christian Science.

For three years we did not attend a Church of Christ, Scientist, or have contact with other students. In 1944, after we returned to our home, our son was inducted into military service. We again had prayerful help from the same practitioner for his protection, which was wonderfully apparent all through his service.
