Many times the truth that God is our creator and that we are His children has been proved in my daily experience. I have been a student of this Science since childhood, as I was enrolled in a Christian Science Sunday School at the age of two.

One evening some years ago, I was not thinking coherently and was manifesting symptoms of disease. After I'd wrestled for over an hour with the thought of calling a Christian Science practitioner, Mary Baker Eddy's statement helped me make the decision (Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, p. 420): "If students do not readily heal themselves, they should early call an experienced Christian Scientist to aid them. If they are unwilling to do this for themselves, they need only to know that error cannot produce this unnatural reluctance." Immediately I called a practitioner.

What a rich, glorious experience followed! The inspired work of the practitioner illustrated another statement of Mrs. Eddy's (ibid., p. 375): "The genuine Christian Scientist is adding to his patient's mental and moral power, and is increasing his patient's spirituality while restoring him physically through divine Love." In just a little over a week, I was healed of infectious hepatitis. Never have I more fully appreciated the work of a Christian Science practitioner.
