After attending a Christian Science testimony meeting for the first time, over forty years ago, I was so impressed that I have stayed with the study of this Science ever since. It gave me what I had been looking for. Right at the beginning I witnessed a major healing. A relative was suffering mental illness. He lay in a hospital in a room with a door he could not open from the inside. He was to be transferred to a mental hospital. He was healed through Christian Science, even though he never spoke with the practitioner. An aunt of mine, who was in touch with a practitioner concerning another matter, asked the practitioner if he might be able to help this man as well. The practitioner told her to ask him whether he believed that God could make him well. After my aunt had gone to see the patient alone, and he had affirmed that he believed God could heal him, the practitioner prayed for him.

Soon thereafter the man's son was informed that he could take his father home on a trial basis. To the astonishment of the whole family, the father remained calm the whole day and in the evening allowed himself to be brought back quietly to the hospital. Shortly thereafter he was released. There was no further recurrence of any kind of mental illness. At the time of his healing he was sixty-nine. He lived to be eighty-three.

I witnessed another quick healing with my daughter when she was seventeen. She had a serious throat inflammation and was unable to speak. I asked for Christian Science treatment. The practitioner told me that when I returned home my daughter would be well, and so it was. When I arrived home, my daughter, who had lain in bed for two days, came to meet me beaming with joy and said she was well. The abscess had opened around three o'clock. That was the time that I had spoken with the practitioner.
