My mother used to take me to the nursery of a Church of Christ, Scientist, when I was a baby. Later I was enrolled in the Sunday School, which I attended until I was twenty years old and where I received a good foundation in Christian Science. Then I joined a branch church and served as an usher. Later on I joined The Mother Church to be of more service.
I have had many blessings and healings through Christian Science. When I was a very young boy, I had an accident in which the under part of my chin was punctured. I cried very hard while my mother put me to bed and called a practitioner. I fell asleep. About two hours later I got up and was playing around the house without any ill effects. The wound soon healed.
I recall another time when I was a child and a firecracker went off inches from my eye. I couldn't see out of my eye and the pain was intense. Again a practitioner was called. Although the pain stopped, I was afraid to open my eye. The next afternoon my grandmother talked to me about God's love. Suddenly I was perfectly all right.
