For some of the many blessings I have received through the study of Christian Science, I wish to take this opportunity to express my gratitude.

As a young child I suffered from spinal trouble and tuberculosis, as a result of double empyema, for which both lungs had been operated upon. The doctors gave me only until about the age of twelve to live. As the time limit they had set for me drew near, Christian Science was presented to my mother. Through the study and application of this truth, both conditions were completely healed within a year. These healings were so complete that I was able thereafter to participate actively in strenuous athletic competition, including cross-country running and football. During the seven years of this athletic activity, dislocations, pulled tendons, strained ligaments, and minor difficulties which presented themselves were all overcome within twenty-four hours. There were also many compulsory physical examinations, all of which were passed successfully.

This truth that heals has also protected me on many occasions. While I was driving with a friend in a small car on a busy street, during the construction of an overhead highway, a five-ton truck suddenly came from behind a construction shack and hit our car squarely in the side. An instant declaration of the truth that God is Love and protects, was made, and the car, which was toppling over, righted itself. Although it was so damaged that it could not proceed under its own power, none of the glass windows were shattered, and neither my friend nor I experienced any ill effects.
