It is my earnest desire to glorify God by means of this testimony. A clearer conviction of the availability of Christian Science in time of emergency was gained through the following experience.

A few hours after starting on an all-day train journey, I began to suffer from a pain in my side so severe that I found it hard to breathe. Having been a student of Christian Science for many years, I immediately turned to God for healing. The first thought that came to me was the necessity "to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord" (II Cor. 5:8). I saw that there must be a steadfast holding to the spiritual fact that man is an idea in Mind, entirely separate from the flesh and living where no pain can enter. This truth I declared over and over.

Finally, it seemed wise to retire to a rest room, and I did so. Then came the angel thought our beloved Leader, Mrs. Eddy, has given us in Science and Health (Pref., p. vii), "To those leaning on the sustaining infinite, to-day is big with blessings." This proved to be a strengthening thought, and as I reclined upon the couch a deep sense of gratitude for Love's provision of right ideas came to me.
