Christian Science brings out and is governed by the one great fact that God is All-in-all. I feel that I owe it to God and to the Discoverer and Founder of Christian Science to tell how it has been proven to me that God is omnipotent, omnipresent, and omniscient Mind.
I began to read "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mrs. Eddy over two years ago, studying it and the Bible together, and its healing power has been demonstrated to me in a number of instances. I had been having medical attendance for several months and was examined by some of the best physicians. Some said an operation was necessary, and the sooner the better. One physician said he could relieve me but could not cure me. I took his medicine and local treatments, but after I had been under his care for some time, I found the same condition prevailed as when I first went to him. I could not be on my feet, except for a little while at a time, without suffering severe pain.
At last I was examined by the surgeon who was to operate, and he said for me to keep on with the treatments and come back to him in three weeks. I thank him for giving me that time, for in it I turned to Christian Science, which teaches us the spiritual understanding of God and His spiritual idea, man. I had the help of a faithful practitioner and studied diligently the Bible and the text-book, and in three weeks I was so well I felt I could get along without the practitioner's help. I realized that I had to work out my own salvation; that I must learn to understand God spiritually and do my part, and He would show me that His work was done. The pain vanished into its native nothingness and all other conditions became normal, and I was able to do all kinds of work and have been ever since.
