So many times I have thought of the words of the Christian Science practitioner to whom I first went to have help. She said in effect that if I would really study Christian Science, not only my own health but that of my family would improve, that my husband's business and our supply would increase, and that everything in my life would become more beautiful. I had heard that Science heals, but I had never realized that it touches every facet of our human experience. Nevertheless, such has been the case in our lives.
I turned to this Science in desperation after finding that the doctors were not helping our infant daughter, who was extremely emaciated and would not take much food, if any. I told my husband that I would try Christian Science as an experiment. I did not believe in it, but I felt it would not hurt her. To my amazement, however, the child was healed after my visit to a practitioner. She ate her meals for the first time, and she gained five ounces that day. I decided then to study Science to see what it was all about.
A little over a year later, while in Jamaica, West Indies, for the winter, our little boy ran into a room one day and stepped into a pail of scalding water up to the knee. His screams brought everyone into the room; so I took him into another room and shut the door.
