I was first attracted to Christian Science through a healing my father had in Science. During the Depression of the 1930s, the business that my brother and I operated was in financial trouble, and we were told that Christian Science could help us. We started studying the Bible Lesson and soon asked a Christian Science practitioner to pray for us. One of the first thoughts the practitioner shared with us was that our real need was not for money but for right ideas, which always have their source in God.

As we worked and prayed for right ideas, our business began to improve and we were able to pay off our debts. We received wonderful cooperation from our creditors, which enabled us to meet our obligations to them. Our business then became a well-established firm in our community, and we enjoyed many years of success. There were times along the way when we had difficulties to overcome, but always Christian Science met our needs.

I am grateful that my wife is a Scientist and that we were able to help our growing family through practice of this Science. As a result of prayer, healings the children experienced included an overnight healing of blisters from exposure to the sun, the removal of a facial growth, and a quick recovery from apparent pneumonia.
