ESTHER R. VAUGHAN

When I was a preschool child, my mother was in deep need of healing. She had experienced a very unhappy divorce and was left with the care of four children between the ages of six months and six years. She had undergone three major operations, including a hysterectomy and a kidney operation. The doctors had said they could do no more for her and could see no future for her.

At that time one of my aunt's in-laws suggested Mother try Christian Science. (They had been Christian Scientists for many years.) We lived in a small town in the Midwest. My mother called a Christian Science practitioner who lived in a nearby city. The practitioner lovingly assured my mother that God loved her and that she could be healed.

I was too young to know much about the healing at the time, but my mother told me later that she was asked to memorize "the scientific statement of being," found on page 468 of Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy. Mother memorized these truths and lived with them, especially the sentence "All is infinite Mind and its infinite manifestation, for God is All-in-all." Mother was completely healed and was able to rear her four children. She enjoyed many years of health and well-being. We both became members of The Mother Church in 1932.
