When I was a young girl just out of high school, I became ill and was sinking in the last stages of fever. Christian Science healed me and restored my life and health. The physicians, called in to attend me by a member of the family, told my mother there was no hope and tried to prepare her for the end. However, she knew a little about this religion and would not accept their verdict, but appealed at once to a Christian Science practitioner.
This consecrated and faithful worker reversed the sentence pronounced by the physicians and proved the material laws to be false and powerless. After I was up and around again, there still seemed much work to be done to regain my mental and physical strength and vigor, and the practitioner stayed by me, helping me all the way.
A year later I entered a normal school, and after graduating taught for a number of years in the public schools. During that time I had many proofs of God's guiding, protecting, and sustaining power. I can never be grateful enough for those years of study and consecration, learning and proving.
