On page 14 of Science and Health our Leader says: "Become conscious for a single moment that Life and intelligence are purely spiritual,—neither in nor of matter,—and the body will then utter no complaints. If suffering from a belief in sickness, you will find yourself suddenly well." Recently I had occasion to experience the truth of this statement. For upward of ten days I had, to mortal sense, been suffering greatly from an attack of stomach trouble. Accompanying it was a hard, dry cough, which strained my head terribly each time I coughed. I had borne this attack so long that I had begun to see crooked, that is, in a mental way. To me the whole world was wrong; every one in it was wrong; even Christian Science was wrong.

One Sunday, after I had been at home about an hour from the morning service at church, the thought came to me to read over the next Sunday's Lesson-Sermon, and from the beginning I became so absorbed in it as to be entirely unconscious of my surroundings. Every line seemed to be a prayer for me. On finishing I moved about the house attending to my duties with this wonderful lesson in mind, till a neighbor called. When I turned from the door on seeing her out, I realized for the first time that my body had ceased its complaints. This thought startled me at first; then a feeling of awe passed over me,—I had received a benediction. The next sensation was one of joy that I had experienced a healing. Then, in the twinkling of an eye, all was changed. The world was all right; every one in it was all right; Christian Science was all that it claimed. I was myself once more.

I have been a student of Christian Science a little over two years; but in this time have had illuminations and demonstrations enough to know that Mrs. Eddy has indeed found and given to the world in Science and Health the "Key to the Scriptures," with its healing agency.
