I have seen many healings take place through mental surgery as a result of Christian Science treatment, including my healing of appendicitis.

While visiting with relatives I suddenly felt severe pain. A medical nurse and friend of the family was present and said the condition was appendicitis. This was on a Friday. I phoned a Christian Science practitioner for treatment and left immediately for my home sixty miles away. During the second night the practitioner stayed with me at my bedside, reading and praying, but things became so severe it seemed I might not live through the night. At no time did I consider having medical assistance. My one desire was to prove God's omnipotence and omnipresence maintaining His child, to demonstrate the power of Truth as taught in Christian Science. Early Sunday morning the mesmerism was broken and I was completely free. I was at my teaching post on Monday morning. That I was completely healed with no period of convalescence was evident in the fact that as an athletic coach I carried on a full football training program. The healing had come as a result of replacing error with Truth, just as we do when applying the rule of mathematics to a wrong answer. Truth makes error null and void.

I am very grateful for many other occasions of relying on Christian Science treatment for protection and healing. Scarlet fever was healed. I felt divinely protected while regularly visiting the contagious disease wards in a large Army hospital during World War II in my capacity as an Army chaplain. I am grateful for many years of freedom from illness. I have taken no medicine in over sixty years. "The word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword" (Heb. 4:12). Sooner or later the error in human consciousness must be destroyed through the application of God's law, the sword of Spirit.
