Christian Science has been my only physician since my late teens. My mother's healing, after a doctor said he could do nothing more for her, brought Christian Science into our home. It has helped me during fifty years of married life. Sometimes the healings came about instantaneously and at other times with the prayerful help of a Christian Science practitioner.
At one time our son of four years contracted measles, which developed into pneumonia. But steadfast reliance on prayer and the metaphysical treatment of a consecrated practitioner brought him through this experience and healed him. Today he is a family man with two children, and he and his wife rely on Christian Science to meet all their problems.
A testing time for me came when I found myself with a pulmonary condition marked by loss of appetite, fever, and congestion. After trying unsuccessfully to heal it through my own prayerful work, I called a practitioner for treatment, mentioning some of the symptoms. Soon the day hours were much improved, but the night hours were especially difficult.
