During the past ten years I have had many wonderful proofs of the healing power of Christian Science.
When entering the Navy, I was sent to the Hospital Corps School, where I was to take a six weeks' course in nursing and field sanitation. At first I was disappointed, for I felt this was contrary to my teaching in Christian Science. However, I knew that I was ever under God's direction, and therefore could only be in my right place.
The hospital training proved to be quite a test. By lectures and illustrations, the instructors spent hours each day drilling into us the various types of disease, and how to detect them by their symptoms. After several days of this schooling, I awoke one morning with a high fever and severe sore throat. I had a friend notify a Christian Science practitioner, and work was taken up. A day or so later the company commander discovered my condition and ordered me to sick bay. Several of the fellows in my barracks knew that I was a Scientist, and I wanted very much to prove the healing power of this truth.
