Whenever I read the beautiful testimonies of Christian Science healing, I am reminded of my early healing. I was traveling in the state of Texas, and the first week there I spent in a medical clinic for observation. Fortunately I was confronted in nearly every hotel with the distribution boxes of free Christian Science literature. The more I read of Christian Science and its healings, the more eager I became to find out what these people knew that I did not know. I have been learning ever since, and what a happy revelation!
One day in Waco I had a serious stomach spasm, or possibly a gall bladder attack. I was guided to the Christian Science Reading Room for help rather than to material medicine. In the Reading Room I immediately purchased a copy of Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy. The attendants were most courteous and helpful, and they referred me to Christian Science practitioners nearby, one of whom I telephoned.
