It is with a grateful heart that I write of a healing which I experienced through the teachings of Christian Science. I asked a practitioner for help for a physical problem of periodic overaction, which had troubled me for about two years. This time it had been severe for several days, and I was becoming rather weak. On my first visit to the practitioner the fact was uncovered that for some time I had been believing in the existence of a tumor.

The practitioner referred me to the Bible story in the ninth chapter of Matthew (verses 20-22), which I had read many times, and asked me to study selections from Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy. This I did. The condition still continued with great severity, but each day when I called the practitioner her clear statements of truth concerning the love of God and the healing power of Christian Science would allay my fears.

One morning less than a week after my first visit to the practitioner I felt an urge to do prayerful work for myself. A short time later what appeared to have been a large mass of matter which had disintegrated into smaller pieces passed from me painlessly. At first my fear was great; but soon it eased, and I found myself praying sincerely. I remember saying aloud, "When I get this physical healing I will fall on my knees and thank You, God." The answer came, "Why don't you thank Me now?" I did just that and immediately these words came to my consciousness: "Now you have touched the hem of the garment." That moment was indeed sacred, and tears of gratitude rolled down my face.
