I would like to share a healing I had that really got me started on my own application of Christian Science, although I was raised in it. I hope that others raised in this religion, who may take it for granted, will read this and remember to be thankful for the privilege of being a Christian Scientist.

During the semester break of my first year in college I became seriously ill with whooping cough, and I was unable to return to school. A practitioner was called to pray for me and to treat the problem in Science.

For several days the practitioner continued treatment, and during that time I began to study the Lesson-Sermon in the Christian Science Quarterly earnestly—not just to have the right answers for Sunday School class but really to see the truth in it. I even read additional portions of Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy. But my condition didn't improve, and I began to feel very sorry for myself that I was sick and feeling so miserable. I began to think unhappily that I was probably about the only student of this demonstrable Science for whom prayers to God had no effect.
