When I was in my early teens, my father received an instantaneous healing of inflammatory rheumatism through Christian Science treatment—after the doctors had given him up.

I was so impressed by this healing through prayer that I asked to be enrolled in the Christian Science Sunday School. My parents were sincere students of the Bible and I loved it too. The teachings I received in Sunday School showed me how to apply Christian Science in daily living.

After leaving the Sunday School I found employment in a nearby city. For a period, I allowed more worldly activities to dominate my life. Then a health problem appeared, and I turned to medical care. I was told I had a malignant condition that needed immediate attention. I left the doctor's office filled with fear and discouragement. When I arrived home, I turned to God for help. Then I opened the Bible at random and read (Isa. 41:10): "Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee." I knew my prayer had been answered. From that time on I turned completely to Christian Science for healing and had no more medical attention; and within a very short time I was well. Since then, there have been many proofs of God's loving care and protection.
