The experience related in this testimony illustrates God's promise of healing through faith in and obedience to His law. As Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy states, "Step by step will those who trust Him find that 'God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.'"

During my service overseas with the United States armed forces, our first child was born. One evening, a few months later, I returned home to find my wife holding our baby daughter, who was having difficulty breathing. Taking the child in my arms, I comforted her and prayed for her. I recalled hymns I had learned as a student in a Christian Science Sunday School. I also studied selections from the Bible and Science and Health.

As the evening progressed the baby was still ill, so I sought help through prayer from an Army chaplain in a distant city who was a Christian Scientist, but he was unavailable. At that point my wife, who was not a student of Christian Science, asked that we seek medical assistance.
