I want to take this opportunity to express my sincere gratitude for a healing I had some time ago when we were living in Boston. One evening I became so weak I was unable to go to work the next day. Then I suddenly lost consciousness, and arrangements were made to have me taken to the Sanatorium of the Christian Science Benevolent Association, Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts.

When I regained consciousness a Christian Science practitioner, whom my wife had asked to take the case, was at my bedside. He started talking to me of God and my relationship to Him as His reflection. In a few moments I could feel that I was getting better.

Among several passages which he read to me from the Bible were these words of Jesus (John 6: 63): "It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life." He also read the following statement from Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy (p. 14): "Entirely separate from the belief and dream of material living, is the Life divine, revealing spiritual understanding and the consciousness of man's dominion over the whole earth. This understanding casts out error and heals the sick, and with it you can speak 'as one having authority.'"
