I have had many proofs of the practical value of Christian Science in everyday experience, and I wish to express my gratitude for numerous healings. One such healing occurred while I was en route to another city some two hundred and fifty miles from my home.

A friend and I had boarded a bus in anticipation of an enjoyable trip, but had not gone far when I was stricken with a feeling of dizziness and with poor respiration. Breathing was so difficult that I was rapidly losing consciousness. The sensation was frightening, but there was a sense of gratitude for the privilege of studying and practicing Christian Science.

With the hope of gaining relief through declarations of truth, I worked quietly and endeavored to manifest no outward sign of distress, since I did not wish to alarm my friend and the other bus passengers. I declared the supremacy of God's law and tried to realize that there is no reality in material law which claims to govern man and that man has his being apart from a material body. There came a glimpse of the truth that man lives in Mind, Spirit, and that he is independent of matter and its so-called laws. This understanding brought relief. Further prayerful work was done, and the situation cleared sufficiently to enable me to rest comfortably and enjoy the remainder of the trip.
