I am very grateful for the joyous experience of having been reared in Christian Science. An outstanding healing came into my life when I was ten years of age. It was that of St. Vitus's dance. My mother was faithfully studying and prayerfully trying to help me, but there was no apparent improvement, and my condition had advanced to an alarming state.
Mother then sought the help of a Christian Science practitioner. I recall the great love and gentleness she showed to us, and also she talked of God's love for all of His children. This made me feel secure and safe; so I did not feel afraid. I told my mother that I knew I was going to be all right.
A great weeding out of errors of disposition came about as I made one visit each week for four weeks to the practitioner's home. False traits were replaced with thoughts of love, gentleness, and good will toward the members of our family. At the end of that time I entered school again, perfectly normal in every way.
