"Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born...

"Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again," said Jesus. The old man must be put off and the new man, "which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness," must be put on. I was a cripple for over eight years as the result of an injury to the bones and ligaments of the foot and ankle. During that time I tried doctors of all schools, and at last, helpless and hopeless, using bandage, brace, and crutches, I turned to Christian Science. In three days I walked without crutches, and in ten days brace and bandage were laid aside. The privilege of walking without crutches was so great that my heart was filled with gratitude at every step. Then entered the tempter, whispering that the change had been so great that it could have been brought about without my depending upon Truth. I turned to frail mortality to test its false promise, and paid the penalty. The relapse was brief; in a few days I had regained all I seemed to lose, and my complete healing took place very rapidly. There does not remain the slightest trace of the injury, from which a full recovery was considered impossible.

For this great manifestation of the healing power of divine Love, I am deeply grateful; but for the continuous unfolding in consciousness of the spiritual sense of being, which makes the waste places to bud and blossom as the rose, I am more grateful still. It can be truly said of the Discoverer and Founder of Christian Science that all the nations of the earth shall be blessed through her work. The pure thought which received so great a spiritual illumination, has lighted the way wherein we are the recipients of unnumbered blessings.
