I have enjoyed so many benefits through Christian Science that I scarcely know where to start in expressing my gratitude. It is nearly thirty years since I first witnessed a healing through the application of this Science, although at that time I knew nothing about it.
I was just a boy when it became my duty to care for a four-year-old niece, who was afflicted with a disease that was later named infantile paralysis. She had been bedridden for several months, a part of this time in a hospital. The physicians who attended her finally gave up her case and said that death was inevitable. It was in this extremity that Christian Science was introduced. I remember that suddenly all medicine disappeared, and within a very short time the little girl arose from her bed. unassisted, and walked from one room to another until she arrived at the kitchen and exclaimed, "Look, Grandma, I can walk." Her progress was rapid, and the disease left no marks upon her body. Today she is the mother of three sturdy, healthy children.
This is just one of many healings witnessed and experienced by me and by our family. I should like to mention a few of the other outstanding healings and blessings.
