Just as birds have to fly, we have to testify to the healing power of God's Christ. We have to tell the story; it is our "theme in glory" (Christian Science Hymnal, No. 414).

Among my most grateful moments is an experience I had in the late eighties. While at my office, suddenly I felt quite ill. It was very difficult to breathe or walk. I called a relative to pick me up. And I requested a friend, who was also in the practice of Christian Science, to pray. She agreed to treat me. For the next couple of days, I continued accepting calls as usual from individuals asking me to pray for them.

My prayerful treatment of others had good results, but on the third day, my own vitality had diminished to an alarming degree. I felt incapable of answering the telephone. At this point, a relative called the practitioner I had asked to treat me and held the telephone to my ear. The practitioner's words roused me somewhat.
