"Be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God" (Rom. 12:2). This exhortation has been proved practical in my own life.

My first healing, that of chronic earaches, occurred through the help of a Christian Science practitioner, when I was a child. My mother and grandmother were interested in Christian Science at the time. But many years passed before, at the urging of a close friend, I took up the study of this divinely scientific religion.

As an adult I was confused and frustrated over the state of my personal life and career. I had also been trying to maintain physical stamina through pills and rub-on potions. Finally I concluded that if Christian Science could heal me I did not need these material "cure-alls," and I threw them all out. With the consistent reading of Science and Health and Mrs. Eddy's other works, I saw the transforming power of God heal a condition of chronically infected tonsils. (I had been told during a required physical examination that the tonsils should be removed.) As I continued to read and ponder Mrs. Eddy's writings, unsightly skin eruptions gradually disappeared. My whole life stabilized.
