A few years ago I was suddenly stricken with influenza and laryngitis, at a time when there was an epidemic of these troubles in a Midwestern city. Being busily occupied in a home there, I was unaware of the epidemic. Not sufficiently rising above this condition, I called a Christian Science practitioner, who lovingly supported me with absent treatment. In the night I became very ill, and although I was unable to raise my head, my thought reached out to God. I picked up a copy of Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy, and opend the book to these words (p. 352): "To Jesus, not materiality, but spirituality, was the reality of man's existence, while to the rabbis the spiritual was the intangible and uncertain, if not the unreal."
I tried to be very still and to become conscious of the truth contained in those words. As my thought rose to feel and know the substance of that statement, I gained a strong conviction of the truth of my being and existence in God alone and not in matter. I then turned to page 572, where Mrs. Eddy says, "In Science we are children of God; but whatever is of material sense, or mortal, belongs not to His children, for materiality is the inverted image of spirituality." This thought made it still clearer to me that I was spiritual and the error only an inverted images, and that I must become completely conscious else. This I was able to do, and in three days I was at the Sunday services, completely free.
