Years ago my father was told by our family doctors that he had only a few months to live. On learning this, my father's aunt, who was the only Christian Scientist in our town, assured my father that he could be healed. My father discontinued medical help and asked her to pray for him. Although he had been bedridden for at least a year, he was completely healed in a short time.

My parents then began the study of this Science and eventually had Christian Science class instruction. Later my mother became a practitioner listed in The Christian Science Journal. At the age of twelve I joined The Mother Church after a remarkable healing of diphtheria during an epidemic. Not only was I healed but our family of three other children were protected from the disease.

I have been a member of The Mother Church for seventy-two years. Many temptations that I was faced with in my teens, such as smoking and drinking, were refused validity when the thought would come, "I'm a member of The Mother Church."
