For the help and protection which come to me through the daily study of the Bible and "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy, and for many healings which have come to me at the church services and while working on the Distribution Committee, I am profoundly grateful.
Before I went to the committee meeting one day, my sight had become so impaired that it seemed almost necessary to say I could not work. However, by holding to the definition of "eyes" as given in the Glossary of Science and Health (p. 586), and by feeling a deep sense of gratitude for the readings which opened our work, I did the work without anyone knowing I was having difficulty. As I was about to leave the church, I found I could see clearly again, and I have had no more trouble from this difficulty.
Another healing was that of the fear of giving a testimony. After I awoke to the realization that it was my privilege and duty, as a church member, to give a testimony, there were many mortal mind arguments to silence. One by one these were silenced by knowing that God is the only presence; that we, as the children of God, can stand and testify to the power of God; that we are in the presence of the one Mind, not many minds; that we do not have to be where we are not known, but can stand in the presence of God wherever we are; that by giving we shall not only help another, but receive unspeakable joy and peace.
