"What shall I render unto the Lord for all his benefits toward me?" So we read in Psalms (116:12).

I was born and raised in a family of Christian Scientists. My earliest remembrances are of attending Christian Science Sunday School, of hearing simple truths of God's goodness and ever-presence from Sunday School teachers, and of being taught "the scientific statement of being" from Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy (see p. 468) by my mother.

As a young boy, severe illnesses and the effects of accidents were overcome solely through Christian Science treatment. When quite young I had stomach pains that made me lie down on a bed to gain relief. This condition was completely healed through the prayerful work of my mother and a practitioner. At another time I recall being extremely ill with fever and periodically lapsing into unconsciousness. This condition, too, was effectively healed, and quite quickly, solely through Christian Science treatment. These healings have been complete and permanent with no recurrence for the last thirty-five years.
