When I was a young girl Christian Science was brought to my mother, and she was healed of many illnesses. At that period it required much courage to proclaim one's interest in Christian Science. I was healed of what was then named hereditary consumption. The physician reported to my parents that there was a spot on each lung. My healing came about through the reading of "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy, and through my faithful church attendance.
Since that time I have relied wholly upon Christian Science to meet my every need. I have been healed of severe burns, pneumonia, typhoid fever, paralysis, and of grief at the passing on of loved ones.
I am most grateful for a more recent healing of an acute case of arthritis which had affected practically every joint of my body. The condition was slow in yielding, it required more than two years of constant work to prove my freedom. Part of the time I had loving help from practitioners; at other times I handled the situation alone. As it is necessary for me to be in the business world, I was at all times most grateful that my condition attracted no attention, although I went to church many times when I really did not know if I would be able to climb the stairs or to rise to sing the hymns.
