At a time when my father seemed beyond help, a friend invited him to attend a Christian Science lecture given in the small city where we lived. As a result, my father was healed of smoking, alcoholism, and many serious physical difficulties. The latter included stomach trouble, which had not allowed him to enjoy a meal. He gained thirty-five pounds in three weeks and was so improved that people who knew him hardly recognized him. He became a devoted student of Christian Science. I witnessed these healings, and they have been a great inspiration to me.

When I decided to begin the study of Christian Science, I also smoked and drank. These habits were healed over a period of time with the prayerful help of a Christian Science practitioner.

When I was three months pregnant with our first child, I started to miscarry. I called a practitioner, and the miscarriage stopped as a result of prayer. The practitioner referred me to a reference to children in Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy (see pp. 582–583). This helped to uplift my thought. The son who was born is now grown and has a family of his own.
