Although I did not come into Christian Science for its healing, I have had many beautiful proofs of God's loving care for His children, when we turn to Him unreservedly. Over four years ago I was attacked by acute rheumatism, and as my father and brother were reporting my case to their respective physicians, it was none the easier for me; but with God's help I was up and about in two weeks. I had, however, two good lessons to learn, which at that time I was not sufficiently awake to grasp, for the following winter I had another attack, which held me in bondage for ten days, and two weeks later still another, which seemed even harder than either of the two previous ones.
At this time the practitioner who had my case told me she was going away and would give my case over to some one else, saying she thought it wiser, as she was afraid I was relying too much on her personality. Needless to say, the case was met inside a week, and the very night it changed hands I was able to go to bed, a thing I had not done for three nights. I now learned that I must rely on Principle instead of person, and also that I must overcome all sense of will-power, for both times previously I had rebelled over my illness, knowing it was not of God's sending, and so I put too much of my human will into my efforts to get out of bondage; but when I saw what I had been doing I learned to say, "Not my will, but thine, be done," and I found out that God does not require of us more than to "know" the truth, for the Master said, "Ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." I would like to say that although the physical healing was very great, it was nothing compared to the spiritual healing I have received since being interested in Christian Science, and words cannot express the gratitude I feel to God, also to Mrs. Eddy, who has pointed out the Christ-way through Christian Science.—J. S. Titcomb, Boston, Mass.
