LITTLE PROVINGS
"It was only little demonstration." you apologized as you began your testimony about the healing of discord at a Wednesday evening testimony meeting. Only a little demonstration! Do we want to tell about some remarkable healing an instantaneous healing, say of broken bones, or cancer, or tuberculosis, such as we often hear? Something like that, we may think, would be worthy of our debt to Christian Science.
It is given to some to do this. Their experience has been like that of Mary Baker Eddy, Whose healing of a supposedly fatal accident started her on the way to discovering and founding this practical Science. In their extremity they have come suddenly to an understanding of the truth, as set forth in the pure revelation of Mrs. Eddy, and their ills have vanished. Their fear has given way, and they have proved false the argument of material sense. From the depths they have been brought back to fuller enjoyment of health through the understanding of the Life which is God.
Some of us do not attain spiritual progress that way. We have problems and problems. They yield quickly sometimes and slowly at other times. But when we look back from some new summit of revelation, we see how far we have come Ours have been little proving, as one speaker at a Wednesday testimony meeting in a Christian Science church called them, And how profoundly important they are!
