The spiritual understanding, joy, and regeneration that are mine through the study of Christian Science cause me to be humbly grateful.

In a fall which I had one day, the knuckles of my right hand came down with force on an iron sidewalk grating. In about a minute or so my wrist and arm began to pain. However, I could mentally see that because God could not fall, His image and likeness could not fall. The pain instantly disappeared. Some hours afterward I noticed the hand for the first time after the fall; it was without scratch or bruise.

Mrs. Eddy has written on page 519 of Science and Health, "God rests in action." On one occasion, the understanding of this truth healed me instantly of a great sense of exhaustion and burning eyes, the result of my having had practically no sleep for several nights. The foregoing healings were instantaneous.

During a Christian Science lecture I was healed of the desire to smoke. Through the study and application of Christian Science I have had many physical healings, but most of all I am grateful for the healing of the liquor habit.

In the journey Spiritward, one of my greatest blessings and joys has been the privilege of serving as First Reader for three years in the Christian Science services conducted in a New York City prison. This experience taught me to be more compassionate.

I am grateful to Mrs. Eddy for giving us Christian Science, and to all those who are so earnestly striving to live in accord with its teachings.
