Some years before I was born, my brother, who was just an infant, was healed in Christian Science of pneumonia. My mother and father had given up hope for their child, because the doctors had done all that they could. On being told of a friend's healing through Christian Science, they quickly called a Christian Science practitioner in a nearby city for prayerful help for my brother. A complete healing took place in a very short time. This healing made such an impression on my mother that she remained a loyal Christian Scientist the rest of her life.

I would like to relate two healings that were beacon lights for me. For the first twenty-five years of my married life my husband was not a Christian Scientist. At one time he became very ill with what appeared to be hepatitis. He was in extreme pain, could eat nothing, and the physical appearance was frightening.

After a number of days of this, I asked him if he would consider asking for help through prayer from a practitioner. He agreed, and I called a practitioner, who began to pray immediately. Now, this is my husband's description of what happened later that night. He woke in the middle of the night and thought he had passed on because he was completely free of pain. Then he realized that he was still in bed and feeling wonderful. He got up and looked at himself in the mirror, and there was absolutely no discoloration of the skin; he looked perfectly normal. At this point he went to the kitchen and fixed himself something to eat and then returned to bed.
