I wish to express gratitude for all the blessings that have come into my life through the study of Christian Science. My first healing came through reading the first chapter of "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy, the chapter on Prayer.

I had been suffering from an eye weakness, and I could not read for more than five or ten minutes without discomfort. I bought this book, Science and Health, and started to read, but before I had finished the chapter on Prayer my eyes were completely healed.

More recently my right foot became badly inflamed, and an alarming condition appeared to be developing in my foot and toes. On page 167 of Science and Health, Mrs. Eddy writes, "Only through radical reliance on Truth can scientific healing power be realized." I pulled on my stocking and turned radically to God, holding to affirmations of truth which had been given to me by a practitioner. She had said that I must stand steadfastly in the acknowledgment that I am actually a divine idea, governed wholly by God. I had to understand that there is not a part of man's being that does not express harmony, for it is impossible for him to be separated from Love's omnipotence, "for in him we live, and move, and have our being" (Acts 17:28).
