During forty-three years of experience...

During forty-three years of experience in Christian Science, including nearly six years in the Army, where I served in this country and overseas, I have been wonderfully protected from accident. Supply has been sufficient and constant, and various physical healings have occurred.

An outstanding healing took place while I was attending a business convention in Boston. Massachusetts. On the morning of the first day of the week I was seized with a severe backache, which was believed to be a sacroiliac condition. After dressing with extreme pain and awkwardness, I studied the Lesson-Sermon in the Christian Science Quarterly and read from other Christian Science periodicals which I always carry when traveling. Upon examining my thinking to determine what needed to be corrected, I realized that more effective and constant protective work must be done. This work, of course, is our daily duty and privilege.

Later that day and during the next day I was able to visit a convenient ground-floor Christian Science Reading Room, where further prayerful affirmative thought was given to the perfection of man and to the denial of any characteristics of selfishness, envy, ingratitude, condemnation, and so forth. It was revealed that a sense of pressure and personal responsibility for my business progress needed to be overcome and to be replaced with more reliance on God's direction in order to gain a proper adjustment in business and physical problems. Through this revelation and period of communion with God, additional comfort was experienced.
