How grateful we can be that...

Lillian G. Collings

How grateful we can be that Mrs. Eddy gave to the world "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" and her other writings, as well as the organization of The Mother Church and its varied activities! I became interested in Christian Science when I was very ill with pleurisy. The friend with whom I was staying at the time became very much alarmed, and said that I must have either a doctor or a Christian Science practitioner. Having read that Christian Science heals, I told my friend to call a practitioner. I am most grateful now that I did.

When the practitioner arrived she calmed my fears and I went to sleep, something I had not been able to do for some time. The next thing I knew it was morning, and I was completely free. I am deeply grateful to the practitioner for the love and compassion she showed me that evening.

A number of years later I fractured my ankle. I was alone at the time and unable to attract anyone's attention. While lying on the snow and ice I repeated "the scientific statement of being," which is found on page 468 of Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy, as well as other passages from this textbook. Finally a car came down the street, and the woman who was driving found me. I was taken to her home, where she told me that she had been in town shopping and had decided to go to a movie, but she had felt as if a voice were telling her not to go to the movie, but to go home. On her way she had found me. That certainly was a proof of God's loving care.
