I am more grateful every day for Christian Science. For a healing I had several years ago of a fear that had held me in bondage for some time, that old feat of cancer which seems to mesmerize the world, I am especially grateful. I did not respond to treatments very readily, although I had help from a practitioner for something I thought, Perhaps this is something I must work out myself; but I did not seem to meet it.
