I should like to express my deep gratitude for the many healings and for the great joy that I have had since coming into Christian Science. My first healing came before I knew anything of this religion except that some relatives who were members of a Church of Christ, Scientist, said that they had had healings through it.
I had an attack of pneumonia, a disease from which I had suffered at various times all my life. The doctor told my parents that he had given up all hope of my recovery, since I was unconscious and sinking rapidly. My mother then remembered that her sister and her nephew had told her of Christian Science and said that they had benefited from it. She called her nephew, told him what the doctor had said, and asked if he could help. He replied in the words of the Bible (Rom. 8:28), "We know that all things work together for good to them that love God." He also told her to go to me and to repeat with conviction these words from the textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy (pp. 465, 466): "Principle and its idea is one, and this one is God, omnipotent, omniscient, and omnipresent Being, and His reflection is man and the universe."
My mother said: "She will not hear me. She is unconscious."
