My grandfather was healed through Christian Science of a severe case of rheumatism, which he had endured for many years. When my mother heard of this she was deeply impressed, and soon began to attend the church services in the small town where we lived that she might learn something of this new religion which healed. Very shortly after this she placed my brother and me in the Sunday school. I shall never cease to be grateful for the early training received there.
During my childhood, colds with severe sore throat would appear each winter almost as soon as cold weather began. These became less frequent as my understanding of Christian Science increased, and although the temptation may appear the fear has so lessened that this discord quickly fades away.
My father had a beautiful healing of a diseased foot which was so bad that it required dressing twice a day. The greater part of this healing took place while he was a guest at our beloved Benevolent Association sanatorium at Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts. The complete healing came a short time after he left there. We shall never cease to be grateful for the love and excellent care he received and to the practitioner who stood by him so loyally.
