Soon after I began the study of Christian Science I learned of the wonderful healing power of gratitude.

Before I began this study, for several years I was treated by doctors for a severe back problem. However, the condition did not improve but grew worse. Then I was told that there was no cure for what they diagnosed as spinal arthritis. All they could do for me, they said, was to prescribe drugs to alleviate the pain. They had reached this conclusion after giving me many tests, X-rays, and so forth.

One evening I felt impelled to attend a Wednesday testimony meeting in a branch church. As I looked to the front of the church, I saw this citation from Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy written on the wall (p. 494): "Divine Love always has met and always will meet every human need." This statement gave me my first ray of hope.
