In the year 1900, when my grandmother, then a young wife and mother, was riding on an elevated train while visiting in a large city, a chronic migraine headache overcame her. The friend with whom she was traveling was a Christian Scientist, and seeing a Christian Science practitioner ahead in the coach, she asked Grandmother if she would like to speak with her regarding her distress.

Knowing little of this new religion, but feeling desperate, Grandmother agreed. The affirmations made by the practitioner were positive and healing, and upon arrival at the friend's home Grandmother went to sleep and awoke completely free.

Next day, eager to know how she had been healed, she visited the practitioner and also purchased a copy of the precious book, Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy. Quite alone in her study of Science, for there were no Christian Scientists in her small town, she began to read the textbook. Through her growing understanding she not only raised her three children in Christian Science, but through her interest in Science her own mother, three sisters and several of their children, as well as a niece, became dedicated Christian Scientists. That was the last headache Grandmother had, and today she is the marvel of all who know her, happy and well at age one hundred and four.
