Lately I recovered from sickness in which the sense of pain was so great that I wondered, at the time, if it would be possible for me ever to walk again. The practitioner was very faithful, and those about me most helpful, not only in giving me every needed physical care, but more particularly in obeying the instruction of our Leader, Mary Baker Eddy, in Science and Health (p. 392), "Stand porter at the door of thought." The words from the Christian Science Hymnal,
"He knows the way He taketh,
And I will walk with Him,"
stayed with me daily, and my thinking was improved and strengthened by my holding to the statement that "God, the only Mind, does not produce pain in matter" (Science and Health, p. 413). My recovery was complete, and accompanied by the joy of increasing understanding of God.
