For twelve years after the birth of my boy I had much trouble and pain; the conditions grew worse, and finally our physician advised an operation. A year before this—now two years ago—I had begun the study of Christian Science, and had caught the idea of an ever-present God, a God who saves from disease and death, when we learn how to trust in Him, and remembering this, I refused to have the operation performed. The struggle went on, error against the truth, for a number of weeks, and one night the fear was very great, for the physical evidence pointed very surely to death. But the study in Christian Science of the past year had laid a firm foundation of the power of Christ, Truth, in my consciousness, so not once through this night of wrestling did my trust and confidence in God's willingness and power to save from death waver. He is indeed an ever-present God—here and now.

When the dawn came, the worst conditions had been overcome through the reading of Science and Health and in realizing the all-power of God. Over a year has passed since this experience, and there has been no return of the trouble. I thank God for Christian Science!
