This year, 1958, Christian Scientists are rejoicing in the Fiftieth Anniversary of the founding by our revered Leader, Mary Baker Eddy, of our great newspaper, The Christian Science Monitor. It was in the same year that the most important event of my life took place: my husband and I began the study of Christian Science upon our return from our wedding trip.
Christian Science had been explained to me a short time before, while I was in college, and its logic and practical application to daily living appealed to me. So we began reading the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mrs. Eddy, and we did not wish for any other religion or help from that time on.
My first healing of sickness took place some months after we began our study. I had an attack of tonsillitis, which was something I had had many times. I asked my husband to pray for me, as we were learning to do in Christian Science, and I went to bed. In the morning I was perfectly well and have never had even a sore throat since.
