From my early teens I suffered with chronic dislocation of the joint in the sacroiliac region. Slippage of the bones would occur almost daily and was often uncomfortable and painful. Before I was firmly established in the study of Christian Science, I had the condition X-rayed. The doctors told me that the difficulty was incurable and that I would just have to live with it. After this diagnosis I turned wholeheartedly to Christian Science; I felt it was my only hope.

For some time following this decision, I worked with a Christian Science practitioner, who gave me much encouragement. But the condition slowly grew worse until I was unable to do my housework and needed to use a cane in order to move about at all.

Finally, one day I went to see the practitioner at her home. The long, steep flight of stairs to her apartment made for an arduous climb. We talked for about an hour and a half, and I do not remember what we discussed. But I recall leaving with a feeling great happiness and inspiration. It wasn't until I was in my car that I realized I had run down the stairs without my cane; I no longer felt any pain. This left me in awe. It was obvious, as the days passed, that the healing was complete and that I could walk normally. There has been no trace of the condition to this day, over thirty years later.
