At one time, while I was serving...

At one time, while I was serving as musician in a Christian Science church, I awakened early one Sunday morning in a state of immobility. All I could do for quite a little while was to lie still and think. After a time I was able to get to a sitting position and found I could read the current Lesson-Sermon, made up of citations from the Bible and from Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy which are given in the Quarterly.

Within two hours I was able to rise and dress, although still moving slowly. This sentence from Science and Health came to me (p. 490): "Christian Science reveals Truth and Love as the motive-powers of man." I determined to allow nothing but Truth and Love to govern me. Within a matter of three hours from the time of reading the lesson I was able to leave home and take my place normally in the service, and that was the end of the difficulty.

During the time that we were caring for my mother in our home, there were many opportunities to prove the healing power of Christian Science. One day we had a heavy snowfall which lasted for many hours, and it became necessary for me to go out to purchase needed supplies. I made the purchases and was on my way back when I fell heavily on one arm and shoulder. A woman helped me to gather up my parcels, and I continued on my way. However, soon I fell again. There was no one near, and I was at first unable to get to my feet.
