Christian Science revealed to me that God is. And with the acknowledgment of that truth on my part, the orderly unfoldment of demonstrating the power of good over evil was started. I not only found a remedy for all physical ills, but a most satisfying explanation of existence. Discontent has been replaced with spiritual happiness.
I was completely and permanently healed of tuberculosis of the spine. Previous to taking up the study of Christian Science I had been having chiropractic treatments, but only grew worse. Finally a bone specialist was consulted, and after taking an X-ray picture he pronounced the disease tuberculosis of the spine. My fear of an operation was so extreme that I decided to turn to Christian Science, with the result that I am stronger now than I have ever been. I think of this experience as a wonderful blessing, for it showed me the way of Life.
An outstanding proof of divine guidance was shown in the obtaining of a position with the help of a practitioner. It was necessary to find work to help pay the bills for maintaining a home, contributions at church, as well as subscriptions for the periodicals. I recall this citation as being most helpful:"Step by step will those who trust Him find that 'God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble"(Science and Health, p. 444), for I took particular notice of the words "those who trust Him." The human footsteps were taken with the thought that true position is spiritually mental and therefore already established in divine Love. Very shortly I was called by a firm, and have remained with them for over three years. During that time changes have been made all around me, but the fear of losing my work has always been replaced with the thought of what true position is.
