Christian Science has for many years been a "lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path" (Ps. 119:105 ). In childhood I was healed of Saint Vitus's dance. My grandmother took me to see a Christian Science practitioner, and when we left his office one hour later, I was healed. At another time years later I was healed of a very stiff neck that for months prevented my turning my head to the left side. I was not getting results by my own efforts in applying Christian Science, so I asked a practitioner for treatment through prayer, and in a few days I was completely free.

Once when I was working in a large government office, I lost an important legal document. It had come into my hands, and I had dealt with it in the usual way, but instead of giving it to my superior, as I thought I had done, I mislaid it. Two weeks later when the legal department asked for it in order to start proceedings, it was nowhere to be found. At first, panic overtook me, but I stopped and declared that Mind knew where it was, that man reflects divine Mind, intelligence, and is not therefore a careless or overworked mortal who makes mistakes. I seemed to rise right above any suggestions of carelessness on my part, simply would not accept the thought in incompetence, and left the whole thing to God and went on with my work.

It was close to lunchtime when this happened, so instead of staying in and starting a frantic search, I went out to lunch. As I walked along the street, I stopped every few minutes and was tempted to go back, but each time I would think, "Stop. The all-knowing Mind controls in the human realm and even now is supplying to all concerned the necessary intelligence and guidance."

After lunch, as soon as I got back to the office, the paper came to light in the most amazing way. It was put into my hands in a way that seemed absolutely impossible humanity. When I thought of this experience afterward, I felt that it was the instant dismissal of the suggestion that I had been careless and that we were in for trouble that had brought the quick results.

These are only a few of the many evidences of healing I have had through the application of Christian Science. Others include freedom to a great extent from heavy winter colds. Also, I was healed of a condition that was never diagnosed but had all the earmarks of a heart attack.

As the years go by, I realize more and more the tremendous debt I owe to God for Christ Jesus, our loving Exemplar, and for Mrs. Eddy for her perseverance in making her discovery available to all mankind. I am also most grateful for membership in The Mother Church and a branch church and for class instruction from a dedicated teacher.
