It is with a feeling of humility...

Daniel T. Bogart, Jr.

It is with a feeling of humility that I express my gratitude for all that Christian Science has done for me. I have been blessed countless times, and each blessing has added firmness to my conviction that this Science is the way in which the Master counseled us to walk.

One experience that stands out to me took place when we received our combat physicals. During the course of my examination, the doctor found a condition which he declared necessitated an operation as soon as possible. He seemed very certain of his diagnosis and he failed me in my examination, telling me I would be called in very soon for the operation. Fear, anger, and resentment clouded my thoughts, but I naturally turned to Christian Science, since it had healed me in the past. I telephoned a practitioner for help, and during the course of the next few days we worked, knowing the truth and continually denying error any power. Through her loving guidance, fear was dispelled, and anger and resentment were overcome.

About a week later I was called to sick bay for transfer to a hospital for the operation. I went in calmly, my mind on some simple spiritual truths. I paused before the doctor's office and steadfastly put from me all human will as to what I should say or what I thought the outcome should be. Finally I humbly turned to God and placed the problem in His hands.
