Testimony of Healing March 23, 1981 Issue

Through prayer, the two children were healed of asthma

MANUEL CECIL KITE

I'm happy to have been a student of Christian Science for close to seventy years. I was enrolled in a Christian Science Sunday School in 1910. From that time up to the present, this Science has been my mainstay.

During my senior year in college, my father passed on, leaving my mother and brother destitute. I left the university to find a fulltime position to support them both (my brother was still in high school). Within a year my mother's realization of God as the only true provider led to events that enabled her to be financially independent. And I was free to marry my high-school sweetheart. I secured a fine position in the publishing business, and we settled down and raised three sons.

When they were quite young, two of our sons were stricken with asthma. My wife was not then a Scientist, and at her request the boys were treated by a medical specialist. One night both youngsters were suffering and could not sleep, even with all the precautions my wife had followed. At 3 a.m. she woke me, imploring me to get help in Christian Science. I called a practitioner, who prayed for our sons. They fell peacefully asleep. This beneficial result of prayer prompted my wife to study Science at once. She discontinued medical treatment for the children, and in a short time they were healed of the asthma. All three of our boys became pupils in a Christian Science Sunday School. My wife joined the branch church I had been serving and, later, The Mother Church.
