Early in my study of Christian Science I was saved from drowning by realizing something of the truth stated in "the scientific statement of being," given on page 468 of the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy. At another time I was healed of badly torn ligaments of the hip by reading Science and Health for four hours.

Before boarding a transatlantic plane in July,1947, I sensed imminent danger. A change of reservation was sought, but because of the congested condition that had resulted from previously delayed flights, no change of reservation was available for many days.

In viewing the plane, I prayed, "Dear God, reveal more clearly to me how it is that You are infinitely greater than this mechanism, greater even than the material universe with its law of gravity and its belief of destruction." Quickly came the assuring answer to my thought: "I am greater than all these because I am the great I AM, the only existence, wisdom, or power; and I love My creation." This message brought peace and a sweet sense of gratitude, for I recognized that God is not merely greater than another power, but the only power, presence, and reality in existence. Power was perceived to be Principle, from which emanates the law that repudiates the arguments of physical disaster on the basis that divine Love is the only attraction and holds control over all.
