I was led to Christian Science through a dear friend. One day while she was talking of the value of this religion with such a beautiful glow of joy, I felt there must be something about it worth investigating. Two months later, after attending the Wednesday evening testimony meetings in a branch church with her, I witnessed my first healing in Christian Science.
My daughter had suffered from bronchial asthma from the time she was two years old. This particular evening she showed all the signs of an approaching attack. She was then eleven years old, and we had been taking her to doctors and specialists without results during the intervening years.
I went into her bedroom when I heard coughing and noted that she would soon be distressed with great difficulty in breathing, as was then beginning to be evident. I thought of getting her medicine out of the cabinet, but then I thought, "Why not give Christian Science a chance?" So I took up a borrowed copy of Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy, the Discoverer and Founder of Christian Science, and opened it expectantly.
