I would like to relate some instances of Christian Science healing which, although they took place many years ago, I have never told before this.

Shortly after my mother was married around the turn of the century, in New York, she was found suffering with tuberculosis. Several doctors gave up hope for her unless she moved to a better climate. So the family goods were sold, and we all removed to Denver, Colorado, where there was a famous sanatorium that specialized in treatment of consumptive patients. However, this sanatorium refused admittance to my mother, saying that there was no possibility of her recovery, inasmuch as one lung was gone and the other half consumed.

At this time a neighbor kindly recommended Christian Science treatment. But Mother scoffed at this—wasn't her case hopeless? My sister, a girl of six years, was stricken at this time with Saint Vitus's dance. Although Mother would not consider Christian Science help for herself, she was amenable to Science treatment for my sister, for Mother could not bear to watch the symptoms of twitching of the child. And so began regular trips to a Christian Science practitioner. I do not remember how long it was before the healing took place, except that my sister was able to be in first grade at the proper age, completely healed. A remarkable thing about this healing was that my mother’s complete healing of consumption began at the same time. The healing came naturally and gradually. Soon she just discovered that she was well.
