Many years ago I met the young man whom I later married. At an early age he had been healed in Christian Science of tuberculosis after two doctors had told his mother he had just three weeks to live. His mother raised him in this teaching, and later she became a Christian Science practitioner.
At the time I met my husband I had never heard of this Science. I was suffering from a condition diagnosed as strep throat and had been told by the doctor treating me that I must have an operation or I would remain in poor health. My husband-to-be told me of Science and encouraged me to visit a Christian Science practitioner with him. After one visit with the practitioner I took no more medication and was permanently healed as a result of prayer. In a short time we were married, and we began attending a branch church together.
About five years after we were married my husband developed an infection in his finger from the factory work he was doing. The condition worsened; he was unable to dress himself or lift a spoon or fork to eat. A practitioner was praying for him, and I spent much of my time reading Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy and testimonies of healing in the Christian Science periodicals to him. He was praying and studying Christian Science too.
