I shall never cease to be thankful...
I shall never cease to be thankful that my wife took up the study of Christian Science for the healing of a physical disorder, for it was through her study that I became interested in it. I had no religion of my own, although I had gone to an orthodox Sunday School when a child, and Christian Science seemed to me to offer everything that one could want in a religion, including healing.
I have had many healings; one was that of a sprained ankle. This happened while I was working at a large defense plant. The pain was intense, and I reached out to God in prayer. The ninety-first Psalm from the Bible and truths from the Christian Science text-book, Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy, came to my thought.
The passage that met my need is this from the textbook (pp. 476, 477): "Jesus beheld in Science the perfect man, who appeared to him where sinning mortal man appears to mortals. In this perfect man the Saviour saw God's own likeness, and this correct view of man healed the sick." The pain was gone immediately. I had a slight limp, which no one seemed to notice. I was able to finish the day, carrying on my normal activities and losing no time from my work, and the limp soon disappeared.
