Christian Science was first brought to my notice over fifty years ago. On reading and studying Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy, I was quickly healed of the smoking habit. In the Preface to Science and Health Mrs. Eddy has written (p vii), "To those leaning on the sustaining infinite, to-day is big with blessings."

In the First World War, while serving with the Army, I sustained a leg injury for which I was discharged as medically unfit for further military service. This was before I knew of Christian Science. At times this condition had manifested itself in a painful stiffness of the knee joint. Through my own understanding of Christian Science, the knee was healed.

Some years ago I was absent from my office for about three months on account of illness. A medical certificate had to be produced to cover this absence, as I was employed as a civil servant. The doctor named my illness general debility. During this time I did not resort to medication of any kind. With the prayerful help of a Christian Science practitioner, I relied entirely on Science and recovered completely.
