I would not be alive today without the blessings of Christian Science. The evidence at the time of my birth indicated that I was stillborn. Within a few minutes of my mother's telephoning a Christian Science practitioner, I began to breathe.
I am grateful for the privilege of attending the Christian Science Sunday School from my early childhood through my high-school years.
At age seven I was healed of what appeared to be polio after three weeks of daily Christian Science treatment. Although the disease was not diagnosed by a physician, I showed all the physical symptoms of it; there was a polio epidemic in our city. I remember when the healing took place. With the authority of spiritual understanding, the Christian Science practitioner had echoed Christ Jesus' words to the palsied man "Arise, and take up thy bed, and go thy way" (Mark 2:11). I was able to obey, and I stood up and walked a few steps with no limitation. Within a few days I returned to school, completely well.
