From my childhood, my mother relied on Christian Science for the preservation of health in our family. One of the first healings I remember came while I was visiting my aunt, who was not a Christian Scientist. During this visit I was injured over my left eye, alarmingly close to the eye, and I lost consciousness. My mother had made sure that should any occasion arise where medication seemed to be needed a Christian Science practitioner would be called. The first thing I was aware of when I regained consciousness was that my aunt had called a practitioner.

In Sunday School I had been learning "the scientific statement of being" in the Christian Science textbook, Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy, and I was mentally groping for the right words. The practitioner had assured my aunt that no medication would be necessary, because God was the Physician. The healing effect was instantaneous. I remember my aunt telling my mother that I was outside playing that very afternoon.
