One day our fifteen-month-old daughter became ill

One day our fifteen-month-old daughter became ill. By evening I was overcome with fear when it became apparent that she was paralyzed in the head, neck, shoulders, and upper back. As quickly as possible a Christian Science practitioner was called to begin immediate prayerful work. From having often proved the effectiveness of Science, I knew this was a reliable approach to the situation; and I had no feeling of neglecting the care of the child.

Throughout the next day the work by the practitioner continued. Mary Baker Eddy says in Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures (p.412): "Mentally insist that harmony is the fact, and that sickness is a temporal dream. Realize the presence of health and the fact of harmonious being, until the body corresponds with the normal conditions of health and harmony.

"If the case is that of a young child or an infant, it needs to be met mainly through the parent's thought, silently or audibly on the aforesaid basis of Christian Science."
