Elisabeth Sophie Marie Thomson

"All our thoughts should be given to the absolute demonstration of Christian Science," said our dear Leader, Mrs. Eddy (Miscellaneous Writings, p. 136). And in Science and Health she writes (p. 306), "Undisturbed amid the jarring testimony of the material sense, Science, still enthroned, is unfolding to mortals the immutable, harmonious, divine Principle,—is unfolding and Life and the universe, ever present and eternal."

Last year I had a wonderful, instantaneous healing of what appeared to be a serious heart condition, when I became ill quite unexpectedly one night. I felt I could neither move nor speak, but I could still think. I felt assured that the spiritual understanding I had gained through years of study and application of Christian Science would cast out as unreal this presentment of evil. I did not panic but quietly put my hand in God's right hand and said in the words of the Lord's Prayer, "Thy will be done" (Matt. 6:10). I understood God's will to be altogether good. I maintained that Spirit is God and that the understanding of this destroys the belief in matter. I quietly, persistently affirmed the truth—the unvarying action of God, good, who is infinite and therefore the only action, the real action. I saw that the mortal concept of a heart attack had nothing to do with Life. I was healed.

Mrs. Eddy tells us (Miscellaneous Writings, p. 232), "The unerring and fixed Principle of all healing is God; and this Principle should be sought from the love of good, from the most spiritual and unselfish motives."
