When I was a child I attended a Christian Science Sunday School. I shall always be grateful for this privilege. It was there that the seed of truth was sown in my consciousness. At that time I also experienced many healings, one of which has greatly encouraged me through the years.
One morning when I came down to breakfast my family looked at me in amazement, for my nose was swollen to an abnormal size and had turned almost black. My mother then said to me, "Repeat the Lord's Prayer." This I did while my family silently denied the evidence of the material senses and declared God's allness. Within an hour I was entirely free from the affliction.
During my adolescent years I was attracted by the so-called temptations of youth. While I believed I was enjoying life I was ever conscious of the fact that I was not following the path that leads to righteousness, and this was a disturbing thought. However, after my marriage I recognized that this disturbing thought was the "still small voice" (I Kings 19:12) leading me to the truths I had neglected to practice.
