I never cease to be grateful that over fifty years ago, when in my early thirties, I was led to the wonderfully inspiring, releasing, and comforting truths revealed in Christian Science. Right from the start this Science seemed to me so logical, and I saw its practicality clearly demonstrated in business as well as in physical situations.

Christian Science has been so effective, in fact, that in over fifty years I had to be absent from work only twice. On the first occasion the person with whom I shared my office became ill with German measles one day, and when I arrived home I found myself manifesting the same symptoms that he had shown. I called a Christian Science practitioner for prayerful help, and the practitioner agreed to pray for me.

During the night the fever frequently woke me, but this lovely thought from Hymn 232 of the Christian Science Hymnal—"Man is the loved of Love"—comforted me until I fell asleep again. Such was the efficacy of our prayers that by morning the fever had gone and the spots were disappearing. By the afternoon I was completely healed; the next morning I returned to work after being cleared by a doctor to do so (at my firm's request).
