In Isaiah we read (43:10), "Ye are my witnesses, saith the Lord." I can truly bear witness to the healing power of God through Christian Science. For over thirty-five years this religion has been my only physician and the answer to all my problems.

One instantaneous healing occurred when I was playing golf with some friends and was hit in the side of the head by a golf ball which had been struck with great force from behind some trees. That morning a friend and I had discussed a line from Hymn No. 64 in the Christian Science Hymnal which reads, "The loveliness of Love is all around." This line came to me immediately; and though I felt like crying, I knew that if I did I would be accepting the belief that something had happened to God's child when in reality nothing had ever touched him, since Love was "all around."

The friends with me were Christian Scientists, and I knew they were supporting me with their prayers. I went on to finish the rest of the game, went to lunch with them, and then drove home in perfect comfort. Fear tried to enter my consciousness when I arrived home, so I telephoned a practitioner, who reassured me. I did not tell anyone else of this experience until some days later. I did not have any pain, and there was no evidence of discoloration where the ball had hit me. It was certainly a proof of God's protecting power, and one for which I have been continuously grateful and have thought of many times in working out other problems.
