I was eighteen years of age when I first attended a Christian Science Sunday School, and I loved the new ideas that were presented. So for two years (until I reached the age of twenty and was no longer eligible for Sunday School) I was a regular attendant, traveling fifty miles to the nearest church. I later had the privilege of taking class instruction with the Christian Science teacher who had been my Sunday School teacher.

There were many times during the raising of our three daughters when I was extremely grateful for this very practical religion. I found that all the help we need is right at hand in the Bible and in the textbook of Christian Science, Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy. Most of the healings were effected quickly, including those of sore throats, earache, colds, and an eye and ear infection. As a result of prayer, baby fingers accidentally closed in a car door showed no ill effects an hour after the incident. There were many instances of protection and other healings too numerous to mention. One of our daughters had lovely experiences with animals, including the healing of a lame duckling within an hour. Indeed, our whole family has felt the benefit of practicing the truths of Christian Science in daily life.

I would particularly like to relate a very beautiful healing that took place about seven years ago. I was serving as First Reader in our Christian Science Society at the time. In the early hours one Sunday morning, I woke with intense pain in my lower abdomen. The condition worsened, and I was quite ill. My husband, who is not a Scientist, became alarmed. I was so thankful that he didn't even mention calling a doctor but instead offered to call one of our church members for help. However, because of the early hour, I declined his offer. I felt I could rely entirely on God as always.
