Christian Science came to our family at a time of great need. For two years my sister had been in bed, unable to walk. The four doctors, who in turn had tried to help her, pronounced her case incurable. When all material remedies had failed, my mother, being deeply religious, asked her preachers to pray for my sister. In spite of this, her condition grew steadily worse.
At this time our schoolteacher heard of a woman who had been healed in Christian Science. She wrote to my mother, sending the name and address of the Christian Science practitioner who had helped this woman. My mother immediately wrote to the practitioner asking whether she would heal her daughter. The practitioner's reply was that she would not heal her but God would.
At this time the practitioner sent a copy of Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy and other Christian Science literature, all of which was read constantly in our home and brought inspiration and understanding. When we began putting God first in our thought, harmony and peace reigned. We began to trust God for health and happiness.
