I am most grateful that my parents enrolled me in a Christian Science Sunday School.

When I was a small child, I was healed of polio in about a month. The healing has been permanent, without leaving a handicap. My grandmother, mother, father, and a Christian Science practitioner were my constant companions throughout this experience, and they consistently reminded me that God, good, controlled me, not matter or its so-called laws.

When I was in high school, I was very ill with what seemed to be the flu. I couldn't seem to regain my strength, although I was studying the textbook, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy, very diligently. One day my Sunday School teacher, who was a practitioner, telephoned and wanted to talk to me. Even though it meant quite an effort, I wanted to be obedient, so I went to the phone. In our conversation, she offered to help me through prayer and I accepted most readily. She assured me that I am a child of God and not open to disease.
