Although my mother and I were students of Christian Science and my father acknowledged the healings we experienced through its application, he did not turn to it for help for many years. Then he was faced with the medical diagnosis of cancer. All arrangements were made for an operation to take place on a certain Monday morning. On the previous Friday, Mother reminded Father of the healings he had witnessed and asked if he would try Science until Monday. "That's fair enough," was his answer. A practitioner was called, and by Monday there was so much improvement that the operation was canceled. Christian Science treatment was continued until he was healed and back at work.
Several years later the same condition presented itself in a different part of his body. This time it was healed for good, and Father enjoyed many happy, active years.
While I was teaching school I had a fine healing of erysipelas. The condition developed during a weekend.
