Before his marriage my father took up the study of Christian Science after being healed through it of a ruptured appendix. My mother also started studying it after my brother was healed of an illness that appeared so serious at one point that she feared he was passing on.
It was through my father's understanding that I was healed during an influenza epidemic. While undressing for bed one evening, I became so weak that I lost consciousness and stopped breathing. My father sat prayerfully by my side, telling me later that in ten minutes I sat up again, talked to him, and was soon on my way to bed with no further need of assistance.
I am grateful beyond measure for having been reared by Christian Science parents and having been taught the truths of Science in the Sunday School. I can only begin to tell here of the many, many ways in which it has blessed my experience.
