It is with great joy and happiness that I share the wonderful blessings that have come to me and mine. Through Christian Science the darkest and most fearful hour I have ever experienced was changed to one of joy, confidence, and faith.
Some years ago our only son was taken ill with an acute attack of rheumatic fever. He grew steadily worse and was removed to one of the largest medical institutions in the United States. After some weeks we were told by the chief surgeon that there was nothing more his staff could do. They would give him no more medication, as he was too far gone. He said that the youngster was beyond their help and was in God's hands, and he added that we should go home and pray. I replied that I did not know how to pray, that I was considered totally and permanently disabled, and that my prayers had not helped me. The doctor told me to hurry home and telephone our minister for spiritual assistance.
Upon reaching home I tried to telephone the minister, but his line was busy. During one of the moments when I was waiting to call again, our telephone rang. A woman we had recently met was calling in reference to a business matter. She discerned my anxiety and asked what the trouble was. I told her, and she inquired whether we had ever considered trying Christian Science. I replied, "What could we do with that now?" She very lovingly stated that she could be at our home in ten minutes and discuss the situation, if we would be interested.
