Christian Science was introduced to my mother when I was in my early teens. I had many healings as a result of my mother's prayers and those of Christian Science practitioners at various times.

Later, when I was in my early twenties, I drifted away from Science and took up smoking and occasional social drinking. It wasn't until I met the man who was to become my husband that I seriously returned to the study and practice of Christian Science. He attended a branch church with me, and when he was healed of pneumonia through Christian Science, he became a student of Science. It was at this time that we were both healed of smoking and drinking. During the forty years of our marriage we had many proofs of God's loving care.

A healing for which my husband and I were very grateful occurred while we were on a trip to Arizona to visit friends. I walked too near the edge of a retaining wall and fell two or three feet onto a driveway. My ankle was badly twisted, and a bone in my foot appeared to be out of place. My husband called a practitioner for prayerful support, and immediately the intense pain subsided. That night I had a normal, restful sleep, and the next morning I was able to walk without pain. Soon the swelling left entirely, and I was able to participate in walking tours of parts of the Grand Canyon.
