I have loved Christian Science since I was a child, and I remember how natural it was for our family to turn to God for help in time of trouble. My grandmother was healed of Bright's disease, my young sister was healed of infantile paralysis, and I was healed of diphtheria. These are only a few of many proofs we have had of God's omnipotence.
After I was married, the doctor who was to attend me at the birth of our child told me I had a tumor, which might prevent the successful termination of pregnancy, and an abnormality of the heart. I was impelled in great fear to seek the help of a Christian Science practitioner.
A sense of peace came to me when the practitioner assured me that in reality all was well and that through her prayers I would be helped to see this at once! Never again during the ensuing months did I experience any fear, and after the birth of a perfect daughter, the doctor, with an air of puzzlement, told me there was no tumor. Furthermore, he never again mentioned the heart condition, about which he had earlier been concerned, and there has been no evidence of it since.
