Although I was reared in an orthodox family and attended Hebrew school, I could not understand the teaching of Judaism. Therefore, I did not continue in its study. Being without a spiritual foundation, I allowed resentment, envy, and a stubborn will to govern my thought. These erroneous thoughts may have contributed to a bronchial disorder.
For many years I endured great suffering from asthma until my wife, who was healed of a goiter through the prayers of a Christian Science practitioner, recommended this healing religion. I agreed to give it a trial by attending a Wednesday evening testimony meeting. There I heard testimonies of gratitude for healings through Christian Science treatment of various diseases, including some that were called incurable.
In my search for salvation from illness I rejoiced with the members and visitors in the foyer. One kindly gentleman in welcoming me asked if he could help me. When I learned that he was a Christian Science practitioner, I humbly requested him to treat me.
