Because of a very deep feeling of thankfulness to God, and to our beloved Leader, I wish to tell of my wonderful healing in Christian Science. Several years ago a physician told me that I could not live unless I underwent a very serious and expensive operation, but I would not consent, as I knew that the great grief which had brought on the condition could not be removed by a surgeon's knife. Instead I had Christian Science treatment, and as thought grew more harmonious the physical condition began to be normal, but it took great patience and persistence. The healing was very slow — requiring almost two years.
One night I thought the end had come. It seemed to be death, but I did not care. Then, all of a sudden, I thought, Death is "the last enemy," and am I going to let it have such an easy victory? I reached over quickly for my copy of Science and Health, and opened to page 25, where I read, "His [Jesus'] true flesh and blood were his Life." Then I knew that my life could not be blotted out by a loss of blood, and I stood up, all feeling of illness fell away from me like the dropping off of a garment, and I ran upstairs, perfectly well.
Mrs. Eddy tells us that "Truth is always the victor," and that "divine Love always has met and always will meet every human need" (Science and Health, pp. 380, 494). Joy and peace are mine, and my heart constantly sings a song of gratitude.
