The grateful testifiers at the Wednesday meetings in branch Churches of Christ, Scientist, acknowledge God's omnipotence, omnipresence, all-loving care, and support. They have experienced this power through the Christ, and in demonstration of divine Mind's holy way or purpose for man, which is always good. I want to acknowledge God's healing power in my life.

Sometime past, while I was at work, I found that I was unable to stand on my feet. A fellow employee kindly took me home by taxi, practically having to carry me. That evening there was quite a discussion between my mother and my dad as to what should be done for me. My dad had been a student of Christian Science for some years. My mother's ways were exactly the opposite; material medicine was her desire. I was between two fires, as they asked me what I wanted to do. I looked at my mother and then at my dad; although I had been going to Christian Science services with my dad since I was a young lad, I chose my mother's wishes. She called a doctor. After he examined me, I was sent to a hospital, with a diagnosis of arthritis in both feet, ankles, and knees. Later my hands and fingers were affected.

After a month at the hospital my weight went down from one hundred fifty pounds to approximately eighty-eight pounds. I was unable to feed myself and had to be fed. I couldn't stand any weight on my feet, and a rack was used to support the sheet. I was receiving inoculations and medications. I was also very frightened, as I was sinking lower and lower.
