It is with deep gratitude that I offer my testimony of the healing and protecting power of God as learned in Christian Science.

My mother took up the study of Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy when I was a small child. The knowledge of Truth gained from the study of Christian Science, as taught me in Sunday school and by a loyal teacher of Christian Science, has been a vital, daily protection during my life.

There have been many healings in the intervening years. Two of the most recent ones were proofs that the law of Truth is ever present and immediately available for our help. In the summer of 1939, when stepping down from a crowded streetcar, I missed the step, falling with my entire weight on the side of my foot, and wrenching the ankle. The pain was so intense that I nearly lost consciousness, but immediately the Word of Truth was proved to be "quick, and powerful." After arising, I found a bench in a near-by subway station and sat for a few minutes realizing the truth of Mrs. Eddy's statement (Science and Health, p. 14), "Become conscious for a single moment that Life and intelligence are purely spiritual,—neither in nor of matter,—and the body will then utter no complaints." It was necessary for me to keep an appointment, and as I went on my way the pain gradually subsided, and I was able to walk several blocks to my destination. In a few hours the pain was practically gone.
