His friend thereupon said that my father needed to be healed through Christian Science and recommended that he call on a practitioner to help him.

When my father later related this incident to my mother, he said that from what his friend had said he thought the man's thinking processes were not functioning clearly or normally. However, inasmuch as the man was his respected friend, my father said he would follow through as he was requested to do. He made the appointment and was healed of a severe stomach disorder in one treatment while in the office of the practitioner.
