[Original in German]
My first healing in Christian Science took place in 1932. I had been suffering severe pain for several days, and it was getting worse. At that time I was not an adherent of this Science; so my employer called a doctor for me. The doctor diagnosed the condition as appendicitis and ordered me to be taken to a hospital. He said I must undergo an operation the next morning.
My employer took me to the hospital, but shortly before we arrived there he told me there was another way I could be healed which would not require an operation. It was then that he offered me Christian Science. In his home, where I lived, I had often read the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy, and The Herald of Christian Science (German Edition), particularly the testimonies of healing; so I was prepared to accept his offer.
