Annie S. Lindsay

When I received a healing through Christian Science about fifteen years ago of curvature of the spine, a healing which has been permanent, my gratitude was unbounded for the physical release that I experienced and for the realization that I could once more live a normal, active life. My gratitude is equally unbounded now for the fact that through this experience I became an earnest student of Christian Science, which has met my every need when honestly and understandingly applied.

I should like to share an experience which proved conclusively that our affairs are harmonious when submitted to the government of divine Principle. It became necessary for me, along with many others, to take a long written examination. We were required to receive a passing mark of seventy in order to hold our business positions. It seemed unfair for us to have to take the examination, as all of us had proved our ability in the work over a period of many years. Much fear was expressed as to the outcome.

Because so much depended on the examination, I asked for help from a practitioner, and I am grateful that I was able to clear my thought of all self-pity and resentment and to go to the examiner with confidence and joy. The test was difficult; the examiner said he had never seen one just like it. However, I felt much as Jehoshaphat must have felt after he had called on the Lord for help in time of battle and was told (II Chron. 20:17), "Ye shall not need to fight in this battle: set yourselves, stand ye still, and see the salvation of the Lord with you." I felt completely detached, as though I were not of myself doing anything. Although so many failed to pass that they were allowed to keep their positions regardless of the marks, my own score was nearly perfect, thanks to Christian Science. This was just another proof that "divine Love always has met and always will meet every human need" (Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy, p. 494).
