Christian Science has done so much for me that words cannot express my gratitude. Mrs. Eddy says in "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" (p. 261), "Hold thought steadfastly to the enduring, the good, and the true, and you will bring these into your experience proportionably to their occupancy of your thoughts." Many proofs of God's goodness have come to me when obedient, as well as lessons learned when disobedient.

One day I was walking along the sidewalk, looking up at the beautiful sky and trees across the street. I was thinking the truth about God and man, which Christian Science had taught me. Suddenly, without my knowing why, my feet turned a few steps to the left and then straight ahead, as if by a power not my own. Looking around, I saw that a small hole in the sidewalk, where coal is put down in front of a flat building, had been left uncovered; and I would have walked directly into it had not my steps been led away from it.

Once a sick headache was nearly gone after attending a Wednesday noon lecture on Christian Science, and it had entirely gone after the testimony meeting that evening. An attack of grippe, so severe I was scarcely able to get there, was dispelled during another Christian Science lecture. Influenza has been healed, also two badly infected fingers and much enlarged glands, through Christian Science treatment. A sprained ankle, so painful that I could hardly bear to step on it, was so much better after one treatment from a practitioner that I was able to walk nearly two miles directly afterwards without any difficulty; and in a few days all swelling was gone. The truth is a great help to me every day.
