I should like to express my gratitude...
I should like to express my gratitude to God for a healing I received of a severe sickness diagnosed by the physician as heart trouble and a diseased liver. I had been a bed patient in a rest home for five months. I was unable to walk and was almost blind.
One morning I heard a Christian Science lecturer over the radio tell of the healing of a man who had been ill for many years. It was wonderful, and I reasoned that if this man could be healed, I could be healed also. I was so impressed by what the lecturer had said that I longed to be able to hear more of Christian Science. A week later my prayer was answered, for I was moved into a room with a woman who, I found, was interested in Christian Science and had a copy of "Miscellaneous Writings" by Mary Baker Eddy.
She let me borrow the book every day. At the end of a week I was able to walk out into the hall. All the other patients in the home were greatly surprised, because for five months they had seen me only in a wheel chair. One man asked me how I had gained so fast and said that I must have some powerful medicine. I told him I was studying Christian Science. He said that he had a copy of "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mrs. Eddy which his sister had put in his bag and that I might borrow it if I wished. I was very grateful and began at once to read it. In ten days I came home, and I could walk again. Seven years have passed since this healing took place.
