When my attention was called to the teachings of Christian Science, about five years ago, I was suffering from shortness of breath. This trouble had bothered me from my school days. I was so often in a state of dreading suffocation that I was weary of life. Various doctors by whom I was examined declared that my suffering was pure imagination, as my breathing organs were in perfect order. Nevertheless, every breath I drew tormented me.

At the beginning of my study of Christian Science I asked a practitioner to give me treatment. The battle between Truth and error went on for a considerable time, and often it seemed as if the healing would not take place at all. After about a year and a half, although I was not then under continuous treatment, the trouble finally yielded. I was completely freed from this harassing condition, and since then, over four years ago, the error has never reappeared.

I should like to tell of another experience, which showed me clearly how successfully we are able to solve problems of supply in Christian Science. As a temporary employee of the State I was given notice of dismissal. This notice seemed unjustified, and my office colleagues kept trying to stir me up against the action of the Administration. But I turned to Truth, and in conformity with the words of our dear Leader, Mary Baker Eddy (Science and Health, p. 17), "And Love is reflected in love," I thanked my superior for the position I had had for three years. Then I asked help of a practitioner.
