When I wish to write of my demonstration over self I wonder where I am to begin. The growth is constant, and while each overcoming of self may not be large we know in Christian Science that the smaller demonstrations are just as important as the larger ones and prove the Principle just as fully. One of the very first errors that I was called on to destroy was pride; but when that was overcome and I was able to take the brother next to me by the hand and to feel that we were both children of the one, loving Father, I felt as though I had indeed conquered a mighty error. I was able a few years ago to overcome a severe attack of pneumonia. I was aroused, soon after retiring, with intense pain, but the Great Physician was at hand and by constant work I was able to free myself by daylight. I went to my teacher as soon as possible that morning, and met there a Scientist who had been a practising physician for many years. He said to me, "I wonder whether you realize how near you have been to passing on?" I replied, "I only know that whereas I was sick now I am well, for God is my Life." My constant prayer is that I may realize more and more that I have no life, but what cometh from God, good. I feel that the only way we can show our appreciation of our Leader, Mrs. Eddy, is in living the truth and proving by our works that this Science is all in all to us.
