It is with deep and humble gratitude I submit this testimony as a living witness to the healing power of Christian Science.

I was brought up in a home where there was love and trust but no formal religious training. After I was married and had two young children, my mother, whom I loved dearly, passed on from cancer. This was a great blow to me. Less than a year later I discovered a lump in one of my breasts. I had a copy of Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy at that time, but I had so little understanding of its contents that, in great fear, I vacillated between visits to a Christian Science practitioner and medical opinion from two doctors. The latter urged me to have immediate surgery. Several months went by and the physical symptoms became so frightening that surgery was finally resorted to. When the surgeon dismissed me, his final words were, "Young lady, you'd better get your chin up and keep it up!"

Our children had attended a Christian Science Sunday School for a short while. After I turned to surgery for healing, I took them to another church; but they begged to return to the Christian Science Sunday School. So they were permanently enrolled in the Christian Science Sunday School.
