During the twenty-five years I have had the privilege of studying Christian Science I have never called a doctor, except when necessary to get required medical certificates. It is not that I have never had any ailments, but they have all been healed, either through my own understanding or with the help of a Christian Science practitioner. I have had instantaneous healings through the application of but a few words of Truth. This shows clearly that the Word has in itself a dynamic power and that even beginners in its application can have clear proof of its efficacy.

I had such an experience at the beginning of my study of Christian Science. At that time I suffered from headaches. One day I was at the place where I worked, which was a long bus trip from my home. It was near the end of the day, and I was getting ready to go to the bus and ride home. Suddenly a headache attacked me. I felt very miserable and was certain that I would not manage to get home before the headache was at its worst. I sat down on a chair and thought of what I had learned in Christian Science. Then very humbly I repeated, "God is Love." Immediately the pain was gone. I got up, went to the bus, and rode home. Since then I have never had a headache of any sort.

Some ten years later I had a similar experience. One of my daughters during her childhood suffered from an alarming malignant complaint. It got so bad that the question arose whether she would have to leave school. A practitioner worked for her at different times, but without results. Finally, in my anxiety and concern I went into my room, shut the door, and said just these words: "Of a truth, God is Mind." The light which this brought into my thought was so strong that I understood immediately what was needed in the case, and the child was soon free.
