On page 192 of the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures"...

On page 192 of the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy, it is written, "Whatever holds human thought in line with unselfed love, receives directly the divine power."

A number of years ago I was very sick. After months of medical treatment an operation was performed in the hope that serious organic trouble would be cured. After months of convalescing, however, I was in the same physical condition, and in a much worse mental condition than before, because I was utterly discouraged. Then word came to me one day from my family saying that a brother must immediately undergo an operation in order to save his life. It seemed impossible for me to bear to have him suffer an experience similar to that I had had. And very gently there came to my longing thought to help him, the whisper that perhaps Christian Science could heal him. I had never thought of Christian Science before as able to heal anyone. But with this hope came the desire to visit a Christian Science practitioner. A sign in a window with the words "Christian Science Practitioner" was remembered, and a visit was made to that practitioner. The visit resulted in my own healing; for, as Mrs. Eddy says in the words quoted above, "Whatever holds human thought in line with unselfed love, receives directly the divine power."
