Several years ago a small sore appeared on the back of my leg

SYLVIA WELLINGTON

Several years ago a small sore appeared on the back of my leg. It bled occasionally, but caused no pain, so I more or less ignored it. But recently it became inflamed—discoloration spread and the leg swelled. I sought the prayerful help of a practitioner, and I fervently pondered these words from Psalms (56:4): "In God I have put my trust; I will not fear what flesh can do unto me." This statement by Mrs. Eddy was helpful also (Science and Health, p. 417): "The evidence before the corporeal senses is not the Science of immortal man."

Within a couple of days, the condition began to abate, and the pain disappeared. In a short time, the healing was so complete that even the previous evidence of a "dormant" ulcer completely disappeared. "Thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ" (I Cor. 15:57).

For over fifty years I have served as organist in several branch Churches of Christ, Scientist, and now at the age of eighty-six I am still playing at the Wednesday meetings in my own branch church. As Mrs. Eddy tells us (Science and Health, p. 131), "The central fact of the Bible is the superiority of spiritual over physical power." My gratitude is immeasurable that through the study of Christian Science I have begun to learn and prove that the power of God is as available now as when Jesus demonstrated it centuries ago.
