". . . there is no pain in Truth, and no truth in pain," writes Mrs. Eddy in Science and Health (p. 113). I submit this testimony with the hope that someone may be blessed as I was, when I proved the truth of this statement in my own experience. To anyone unacquainted with the teaching of Christian Science, this statement is a startling one and perhaps beyond belief, for pain seems very real in human experience.

One morning while I was helping to move some cartons I suddenly found I could neither straighten up nor put down the cartons I was carrying, and the pain in my back was intense. After a moment or two I was relieved of the cartons, and I sought a quiet place to deal with this situation through prayer in Christian Science.

“The scientific statement of being" in Science and Health begins with the words (p. 468): "There is no life, truth, intelligence, nor substance in matter. All is infinite Mind and its infinite manifestation, for God is All-in-all." I realized that because there is no intelligence or substance in matter, muscles, joints, nerves, could not possibly complain through matter beneath the skull, as anatomy declares; man is the image of God and is spiritual, not material. I was at my place as organist that evening in our branch church at the Wednesday testimony meeting, and completely free the following day.
