Christian Science was presented to me about twenty-two years ago by a Christian Scientist with whom I was boarding. I purchased a copy of "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy, read it every day, and at the end of two weeks a healing took place. I was too material in my thinking to give Christian Science the credit for this, and laid the book aside for seven years.
In the meantime I married and passed through experiences of financial lack, ill-health, and unhappiness. In my extremity I turned wholeheartedly to Christian Science and began to study in earnest. The first healing I had was the gaining of a great sense of joy—joy that there was a way out of my difficulties. Healings of constipation and tonsillitis of many years' standing were among my first physical healings; then came also the healing of my eldest boy of tonsillitis, after the date had been set for an operation. This was over fourteen years ago.
When the two other children were born, Christian Science treatment was applied with very harmonious and quick results.
