My experience proves that the understanding gained from the study and application of the truth contained in Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy does heal. When I got out of bed one morning my legs failed me, and I was unable to stand up. A neighbor found me and reported my condition to some of my friends who were Christian Scientists. They called a practitioner. Although it appeared that I might be passing on, I firmly held to the truth. With the help of the practitioner I began to improve, and after a while I was able to be up and doing my usual work.

This same practitioner was called again one afternoon when I was bitten by a large dog which sprang from behind some lumber just as I was getting into my car. The dog inflicted a severe wound on my leg. Some people who happened to see the incident rushed up and offered to take me to a doctor, but I assured them that I did not need a doctor. A bandage was put on the leg to stop the bleeding. Then I drove seven miles with the pianist who assisted me in my dancing classes. I did not tell her of the incident but silently declared, "I am really all right, no matter what the material condition may be." After a few days, in which I continued holding to the truth, I was quite all right, and there were no aftereffects.

About two years ago it looked as though I would lose a piece of property. The lawyer I engaged stated that it was the most complicated case he had ever had during his practice. I called a practitioner, who said to me: "Hold to the fact that there is just one law and one lawmaker, God, who is wholly just. There is nothing to lose with God on the case." The result was that a fair settlement was reached, and the property was not taken from me.
