Cecil C. Pridham

I am very grateful to God for our beloved Leader, Mary Baker Eddy, and for her discovery of Christian Science.

A few years ago I became ill at my office with what was later diagnosed as double pneumonia by a physician from whom I had to have a certificate that I was unable to continue work. On arriving home I went to bed, and my wife asked me if I wished her to call a doctor or a Christian Science practitioner. Although I knew very little about Science at the time, I recalled the following words in the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mrs. Eddy (Pref., p. vii): "To those leaning on the sustaining infinite, to-day is big with blessings." I knew that this was my answer, and I asked to have a practitioner called.

He was unable to come, however, until the second day following. In the meantime I became delirious; and my wife, becoming somewhat frightened, was about to call the practitioner again when she heard the still, small voice of divine direction, which said, "Be still, and know that I am God" (Ps. 46:10). This immediately dispelled her fear, and on returning to my room she found the delirium had left me. She later told the practitioner of this experience, and he assured her that I would be healed.
