I am very grateful for a healing which took place at the time of our daughter's birth. A Christian Science practitioner and I had been working prayerfully together for several months previously, and I had done much studying of Mrs. Eddy's writings.

I had engaged an obstetrician to attend me at the baby's birth, and during my pregnancy he found everything fine. Upon my last visit to his office, however, he was very worried about something revealed by X-ray photographs which had been taken. He said that there was a strong possibility that he would not be able to save the baby.

I went directly from the doctor's office to the practitioner's home. We reaffirmed that man is spiritual, perfect, upright, and we read these words of Mrs. Eddy from Science and Health (p. 200): "The great truth in the Science of being, that the real man was, is, and ever shall be perfect, is incontrovertible; for if man is the image, reflection, of God, he is neither inverted nor subverted, but upright and Godlike. We knew that error could not reverse Truth or cancel the effectiveness of the metaphysical work which we had already done. As a result of my continued study at home that week my consciousness became filled with the truth that God, Life, fills all space, is All-in-all. Much fear was overcome.
