Some years ago, while working on my small car, I lay underneath to do some work on the exhaust system. We were due to go on holiday to a caravan some one hundred and fifty miles north of where we live. The time to leave arrived, and my wife, daughter, I, and our little dog set off.

After a while my back began to ache but I could still drive. When we arrived at the caravan, the car had to be unloaded and I managed with a little help from my family. At times the pain got worse. My wife and daughter could not drive, so I had to do all the driving while we were there, covering a distance of a great many miles.

At the end of the week, we loaded the car and headed back home. By this time the pain was intense and I was having great difficulty walking. However, we had all been praying throughout the trip, and I was feeling helped by those prayers. I could feel the support of my wife and of my daughter, who was a pupil in a Christian Science Sunday School. Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy states: "The way to extract error from mortal mind is to pour in truth through flood-tides of Love. Christian perfection is won on no other basis."
