Mary Baker Eddy comments (Miscellaneous Writings, p. 194), "How many to-day believe that the power of God equals even the power of a drug to heal the sick!" I would like to relate how the application of Christian Science proved the power of God in my experience and changed my whole life.
A number of years ago I suffered from acute rheumatoid arthritis. I pursued the only course I knew at that time to alleviate my suffering and visited a famous clinic in the Midwest. I went through numerous tests and interviews for a week, and then the final review and verdict were given. A panel of doctors told me that my treatment would be in special diet and restricted physical activities but I could not hope for a cure. They said, "If you are looking for a cure here, you are looking in the wrong direction." I returned home in total discouragement.
Upon arriving there I met a friend who inquired about my experience at the clinic. I gave him the information, and he proceeded to talk to me about God. "You have tried everything else," he said. "Why don't you try Christian Science?" The unusual thing about it was that this man was not a Christian Scientist. But a cup of cold water was offered, and I accepted it eagerly. He suggested a Christian Science practitioner who would be glad to discuss this religion with me. I called the practitioner. He came to visit, and brought the textbook of Christian Science, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mrs. Eddy, with him. He offered to lend us this book until my wife and I could obtain a copy of our own.
