I shall be ever grateful to God...

Catherine M. Meinhard

I shall be ever grateful to God for Christian Science and for our Leader, Mrs. Eddy. In 1901, I began to study this Science, and I have never taken medicine since that time. Through the study of the textbook, Science and Health, my life has been sustained all these years. Although I am more than fourscore years, I am upright in bearing and active in the Christian Science movement.

One night I awoke from sleep in great pain. I could not stay in bed, sit down, or stand still. I began to walk back and forth in my room and to declare aloud this statement from the textbook (p. 113): "There is no pain in Truth, and no truth in pain."

I realized that I had to contend with fear, and I kept knowing that nothing could torment or tempt me. The truth of these words from Science and Health became very clear to me (p. 421): "Insist vehemently on the great fact which covers the whole ground, that God, Spirit, is all, and that there is none beside Him. There is no disease." I insisted vehemently on this great spiritual fact while still walking. Finally I was walking without pain, entirely free. Truth was the victor.
