Recently a friend asked me how long I had been a Christian Scientist, and I found myself telling her that my birth had been a Christian Science demonstration. This sounded a little vague, so I explained that before I was born, my mother, who was quite ill at the time, had been introduced to Christian Science by a neighbor, who had brought some soup, and a copy of Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy, to her bedside. My mother had been a delicate child and had been a semi-invalid most of her life. After the birth of her first child the doctors stressed the tragic results that could be expected if she were ever to have any more children.

Immediately upon taking up the study of Christian Science, Mother became stronger, freer, and much less fearful. In fact, she was able to work at her profession again. A few years later she was delighted to realize that she would soon have another baby. Through the help of a Christian Science practitioner and the services of a Christian Science nurse, I was born at home, in a very short time, without any complications—an eleven-pound, healthy baby.

I knew the joy and freedom of attending a Christian Science Sunday School and shall always be grateful for the many helpful teachers who taught me how to apply Christian Science to human problems. As a child I enjoyed a perfect attendance record at school. I was healed overnight of measles, and I was also healed of a few other so-called children's diseases.
