I will always be grateful for having attended a Christian Science Sunday School, and for membership in The Mother Church, The First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Boston, Massachusetts, and in a branch church. The spiritual growth that these activities brought me helped me through a serious trial.

One day I was suddenly stricken with severe hemorrhaging. The physical evidence was so disturbing that I experienced considerable shock. However, fear was brought into subjection as I realized that no matter how terrible the problem appeared to be, it did not belong to my real identity as God's beloved child.

When the bleeding and a growing sense of weakness persisted over a period of several hours, I telephoned a Christian Science practitioner and asked for her loving support. Within three hours of my requesting this help through prayer, the bleeding stopped as suddenly as it had begun, and the condition has not recurred. Truly, "the Lord is gracious and full of compassion" (Ps. 111:4).
