When Christian Science healed me of a skin condition, known as eczema, I was completely ignorant of how the healing was accomplished. The condition had first manifested itself about five years before, and as it became more noticeable, I was taken first to one physician, then to another, for relief. I was told that I had inherited eczema from one of my parents. Just why my three sisters had not been similarly afflicted was never discussed.
Finally my mother took me to a specialist, who was supposed to be the best in his profession. At the time it appeared marvelous to us that the condition seemed almost immediately to improve under his attention. Since then I have learned that it was our faith in the physician which brought about the temporary improvement. Such it was, for after I had apparently been free of any evidence of it for about a year, the difficulty again manifested itself, without the slightest warning, and in a more aggravated form.
This time my mother, who with me had become interested in Christian Science in a vague sort of way, as a result of the remarkable healing of one of our friends, decided to take me to a Christian Science practitioner. An appointment was made, and I had the privilege of visiting the practitioner every day that week. Before the end of the week the condition had completely disappeared, and it has never returned. To many who have had no similar experience, this may not seem so wonderful as it was to us. Naturally, both my mother and I took our stand for Christian Science, and in the years since it has proved times without number to be the "pearl of great price." It has brought into our lives a sense of harmony in our thought toward others. On many occasions, supply has come to us when it seemed there was no possible avenue available.
