About seven or eight years ago I was working on a job that required much walking. During this time, over a period of days, painful attacks in my right side increased in frequency and intensity until I was unable to continue the work. I was forced to my bed and phoned a Christian Science practitioner for help.

As an earnest student of Science, I had no desire to seek medical help for this trouble, nor was I unduly concerned whether the attacks were called "appendicitis," "gallstones," or anything else.

There was a deep reason for relying on God alone for healing. I knew that whereas there are many conditions that are considered beyond human help, "with God all things are possible" (Matt. 19:26). The adage "Practice what you preach" also flashed before my thought. Perhaps even more important, I knew that a medical operation might bring physical relief but that it would not produce any lasting benefits in the sense of spiritual progress or regeneration of character. Healing by spiritual means necessarily propels us God ward.
