I feel should express gratitude to God, and to our revered Leader. Mrs. Eddy, for the beautiful way in which my dear wife and I were led to know of the glorious truth of Christian Science. God had prepared my thought for this heavenly light, which was brought to my notice at the right time, when I was bowed down with the false beliefs of the flesh.
I have had many beautiful healings in Christian Science without the slightest thought of material means. My love for the doctors is still the same, as I know they do the best they can. Severe colds have been overcome through Science in a few hours. Back trouble, sensitiveness, dizziness, blood poisoning in the finger (which was healed without missing work), fatigue and exhaustion have also been overcome.
I should like to say a word about an accident in which I was able to prove God's allness. While taking part in some decorative work, and working at a height of about twelve or thirteen feet from the floor, I took hold of a loose piece of timber, which I thought was a fixture, and fell on a hard concrete floor, landing on my feet. It gave me a great shock; but I tried to gain a thought of good, and in this way was able to walk home; and I am sure God was with me all the way. This was on Friday. I was at the time First Reader at our services. On Sunday morning I got out of bed and tried to walk. At first it seemed impossible; but by the time for the service I was able to fulfill my duty, which was glorious to me; and with the help of a loving practitioner I was perfectly sound again in a few weeks.
I must also give thanks to God for His sustaining power in sorrow. In Christian Science I have learned to prove that there is no loss to a consciousness filled with Love. My loving Father has been close around me all the way, and His promises are perpetual, everlasting. Christian Science has taught me to try to do unto my brother as I would have him do unto me.
As a student of Christian Science, I am grateful for the privilege of membership in The Mother Church, and also for class instruction. I must say how grateful I am for all the literature; also for the Lesson-Ser-mons. My one desire is to know more and more of the Christ.— East Kirkley, Nottingham, England.
