It is my sincere desire to express gratitude for Christian Science because it is my way of Life. The peace, love, poise, serenity, patience, joy, and confidence which I experience through its study surpass anything I have ever before known.

Several ears ago I fell with great force on a cement sidewalk. Since one knee began to swell and to give me pain, I became very fearful. However, within about ten days the healing was consummated with the help through prayer of a practitioner. It has been permanent.

On another occasion the nerve in one of my front teeth was injured, and although I experienced relief as a result of the treatment from a practitioner, the pain was not completely destroyed. One evening I was reading the Christian Science textbook by Mrs. Eddy and came to these words (p. 495): "When the illusion of sickness or sin tempts you, cling steadfastly to God and His idea. Allow nothing but His likeness to abide in your thought. Let neither fear nor doubt overshadow your clear sense and calm trust, that the recognition of life harmonious as Life eternally is—can destroy any painful sense of, or belief in, that which Life is not."
