Christian Science was first brought to my mother's attention by a neighbor over fifty-five years ago. My mother thought it a beautiful religion. She purchased a copy of Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy and began to turn to Science for healing whenever there was sickness in the family.
At that time a young sister was having alarming attacks of croup at night. Relief came quickly when a Christian Science practitioner was called; and in a very short time the attacks ceased altogether.
Soon after this another sister and I were healed overnight of scarlet fever. The city health department had quarantined our home in accordance with their laws at that time; but we were having help from a practitioner, and after the second day we were well, and we played in our own yard during the remaining weeks of the quarantine.
