When I was a child, Christian Science healed my mother in about a week of a serious organic disorder after she had been given up by the medical profession. This healing was accomplished through treatment by a practitioner who was living in a distant city.
I have witnessed many healings in my family through the years. Among them were an instantaneous healing of pneumonia, when a little sister seemed to be passing on; a remarkable healing in three days of blood poisoning from severe sunburn; healing of a condition resulting from exposure in winter when the eyes were swollen shut and the mouth was so swollen that no food could be taken; healing of broken bones after a fall from a ski jump; healing of my father in three hours after the company physician directed that an undertaker be summoned, since a defective mask had permitted him to breathe what were considered deadly fumes of quicksilver used in retorting furnaces; and the instantaneous healing of my little daughter, who was stung all over her body when she tipped over a beehive. Also a sliver of steel embedded in the eyeball painlessly extracted itself in a few days with the help of a practitioner.
When still a child in school, I harbored a deep-seated dread of mathematics. Even in high school, figures of any kind frightened me, and I evaded them whenever and wherever I could. Also, to speak or read before a class was always most difficult for me. Through the steady application of my knowledge of Christian Science in each instance a little more of this error was overcome, and many limitations were turned into beautiful experiences, always bringing in their wake joy, harmony, and progress. After I entered the business world, many more proofs of the efficacy of Christian Science to protect, guide, and inspire were made manifest.
