The writer has many times blessed Christian Science for delivery, some ten years ago, from desperate conditions of fear and illness, for many victories since over the false, human sense of things, and for many remarkable healings, through the persistent knowing that God is the only Life.

While attending a concert of a musical club a young doctor, an acquaintance, who had been standing very close to me during an intermission regarded me very strangely and suddenly whispered, "Come to one side, I must speak to you." I did so, wondering at his urgency. Quite excitedly he said, "Will you take a friendly hint?" Surprised I said, "Why, doctor, what is it?" He then went on to urge very earnestly an immediate consultation with a relative of mine who is an eminent surgeon, indicating that I had Bright's disease, which required immediate attention. I thanked him composedly, but was several days in entirely overcoming the many suggestions of fear which it aroused. With this great revelation of Christian Science in thought, that God is the only Life, and has no part in sickness or disease, I knew that no mortal belief could affect man's life.

About a year after this the surgeon referred to was visiting me, and recalling the young doctor's diagnosis of the previous year, I began to tell him of the circumstances. He interrupted me by declaring the sincerity of the young man's interest in my welfare, and to my surprise stated that the young man had very kindly communicated to him his diagnosis of my case, and both of them had been carefully watching me for over a year, expecting to see the diagnosis verified, which it would have been but for the power of Christian Science, which healed me. They could not understand the manifestation of perfect health all that time.
